Valorant is a game where the community always tries to devise new ways to outplay other players. There are multiple Agents in the game who utilize abilities that can be deployed from afar.

These abilities are usually used to clear corners and force enemy players out of their spots. One of those Agents is Kay/O, who is an Initiator in Valorant. His abilities are optimized towards disabling, detecting, and disorienting enemy players.

Kay/O has a powerful grenade that can be thrown from quite a distance and deals massive damage to enemies in its area of effect. Pearl is a huge map with multiple low-rise walls, making it possible for players to throw utilities over such places. With a proper lineup, players can ensure consistency and pull off amazing wins.

It is important to note that these lineups were performed in LOW graphics settings.
