Valorant Sova guide: Best double shock dart lineups on Pearl

Valorant is a playground for many types of players. While some depend on their raw mechanical skills, others prefer to avoid taking head-on fights and play mindfully.

Numerous Agents with the ability to deploy their utilities from a distance gave birth to the concept of lineups in Valorant. The first name that comes to mind is Sova, an Initiator and one of the oldest Agents released along with the game.

Sova's kit includes Owl Drone, Shock Bolt, Recon Bolt, and Hunter's Fury (Ultimate ability). It enables users to safely check and clear areas of the map from a safe distance.

It is important to note that the following lineups were performed in low graphics settings.

Valorant Sova's most deadly double Shock Bolt lineups on Pearl

1) A-Main to A-Site default plant

Gamers need to find the above corner in A-main and tuck themselves into it.

They need to align the top-right corner of the charge bar (marked with a circle). Players must charge one bar (marked with a rectangle) and release the left click to deploy the first Shock Bolt.

Users have to align their crosshairs (marked with a circle) as shown. Then with a single bounce (one right click) and one bar charge (marked with a rectangle), they need to deploy the Shock Bolt.

Launching both the Shock Bolts consecutively makes them land directly on the A-Site Default Plant simultaneously, making it a handy post-plant lineup that can secure the round.

2) Mid Connector to A-Site default plant
