The best control agents for VALORANT’s new Indian Lotus map

The latest three-site Lotus map available in VALORANT may be a bit overwhelming for players due to its unique features. But it is only a matter of time before players get to know the exciting parts of the new map in depth. Then they can determine the best control agents to take on the map.

In VALORANT, control agents are fundamental to team building, providing support and visual cover. Therefore, players must choose at least one controlling agent to form an excellent team for Lotus.

The Lotus map flexes on both sides; thanks to this, players can take advantage of several opportunities to win games.

Fortunately, on this map, an advantage can be found with each of the five controlling agents. However, defending agents can have an advantage in controlling the map and taking over the space.

Read on to determine the best controlling agent for this map.

The best controlling agents for the Lotus map

In the game, you can choose between five controlling agents Viper, Omen, Brimstone, Harbor, and Astra. Each of them has unique abilities to control spaces on tactical maps. Players use the overall goal to decide which agent to play with, thus being able to choose the perfect team composition.

It is too early for Lotus to have its meta. However, some professional players and content creators have already interpreted the map. They are managing to dominate games with specific team compositions.

According to popular conclusions, the control agents that can dominate Lotus are Astra, Viper, and Omen.

Contributions to the team of each controlling agent

Omen

This agent has an excellent utility kit to control Lotus with great ease. He can create unique ways to help his teammates dominate the defense space, thanks to his Dark Cover. As for the attack, he can block choke points with his smokes to move forward.

His ultimate ability can help him move quickly across the vast map in seconds. Therefore, Omen is probably an important choice on this map.

Astra

Considered one of the best, her ability to fake smoke allows her to rotate easily and take control of space without the need to use an Astral star. She also can control places from afar, which is a tremendous advantage in Lotus.

In addition to his long-lasting fumes, he can confuse his enemies with his gravity well and fog pulse. Finally, Astra can easily score a victory with her Ultimate, as long as her teammates use the bullet to the wall that doubles the sound in her favor.

Viper

Viper’s expertise makes it a perfect fit for Lotus. Players can seal choke points and control space using their toxic screen and poison cloud. With its snake bite candy, it increases the benefits it can bring.

Viper can easily cover small spaces with the snake pit, allowing it to protect the defense site. A drawback can arise with the immobility of its toxic screen. However, with the dual-controller configuration, it can do very well in Lotus.

The moment the team decides to rotate, Viper will find it difficult to provide cover. But, on the other hand, his poison cloud will depend on lineups. As a result, he may be a bit slow on the attack.

Brimstone

It is the only agent that can launch three high-quality Sky Smokes simultaneously, but its little smokes can be a problem. One solution to that problem is to play with a dual-controller setup.

A great post-plant play can be Brimstone’s Incendiary (Molotov). Also, Brimstone’s Ultimate would be perfect for small plant locations.

Harbor

This agent does not yet have a place on the Lotus map. However, it can be a suitable controller, thanks to a recurrent and flexible wall and High Tide covering choke points. Going through the revolving doors, with cascades, would be very easy for him. At the same time, the ultimate ability is beneficial for planting sites before attacking.

Despite being an excellent controlling agent, Harbor’s flexibility prevents him from blocking the attack. Ideally, he should be used in a double controller configuration.

The popularity of Aguero and Viber may change as the days go by, and the map may promote dual-controller compositions.
