The new VALORANT map Lotus brings a range of new features in both aesthetics and gameplay.
After weeks of expectations, the new map has incorporated three essential aspects:
- It is located in India
- It has three sites A, B, and C
- It has new mechanics
While until now, we saw only doors that open and close and others that can be destroyed, this time, revolving entries were added to the map along with breakable walls, which can be destroyed to create new shooting lines and areas to advance.
Agents are required to get space quickly to achieve victories on the new map, as well as agents who can quickly obtain information about the whereabouts of their enemies.
We bring you a list of agents we believe can be of great use in the new VALORANT map of Lotus.
The best agents for the Lotus map
Jett
One of the most popular characters in VALORANT, Jett, can quickly reach and even smoke some map areas in brief periods. But, over time, his utility kit has changed.
Jett, using his Updraft, can climb on some points of Lotus to find angles to achieve casualties more easily. She can even be the team’s operator. In addition, thanks to Tailwind, one of her characteristic abilities, she is instrumental in duels in narrow sections of the map and would also help to get quick kills.
Neon
With his incredible speed, Neon can quickly reach places and create safe corridors for his teammates.
Lotus is a vast place, which can lead players to rotate in different areas at times. Neon’s High Gear ability comes into action when this happens, allowing him to reach any place in a few seconds.
At the same time, Neon’s Relay Bolt could be instrumental when facing duels in narrow areas.
Breach
Thanks to his abilities, Breach allows his teammates to get kills very quickly and be able to clear some corners if necessary.
The new map has many narrow sections; in these places, the help of this character will be ideal. With his fault line, he can stun these sections, allowing the team to be aggressive and thus win duels.
Likewise, with his ultimate rolling thunder, he will open the way for his teammates to kill their opponents.
Skye
As mentioned before, Lotus is a huge map, and there are many corners where players can hide and take chances.
Skye can make a difference by getting information on the position of enemies with her guiding light and tracker. Also, thanks to her abilities, she can get information about possible rival flanks.
Sova
Sova’s character, Sova, can use her full potential to get early information with the help of her Owl Drone. This ability is also crucial to win rounds in post-planted scenarios. In addition, with her Hunter’s Fury skill, she can clear smaller areas of the map.
