Smoke Bombs or Smokes are one of the most essential tools to utilize as a Controller. They will completely blind the sites of enemy Valorant Agents which can create lots of potential for ambushes, blocking areas, etc. There are multiple ways to effectively use a Smoke, but there are a few key concepts to know.
Chokepoints
Chokepoints are narrow areas where Valorant Agents travel from one main area to another which can make for the perfect Smoke placement. A Smoke inside of Chokepoints makes it very hard for enemy Agents Valorant to push through quickly and know where you and your teammates are. This overall creates a huge advantage for you and your team when it comes to combatting whoever walks through the Smoke. Just be mindful that it’s always better to aim around the corner of the Chokepoint to cover as much of it as possible.
Defusing Spikes
Smokes can be incredibly useful when playing the Defuse game mode. All you would have to do is place a Valorant Smoke over the Spike as one of your teammates is defusing. This creates a dangerous situation for anyone nearby of the opposing team trying to stop your Valorant teammate. It can force an enemy to enter the Smoke and most likely end up ambushed in the end. This is especially more dangerous if your team is already in the area which makes it hard for any enemies to push near the Spike to defend it.
Manage Your Smokes
Your Smoke Bombs are your greatest ally as a Valorant Controller. With this in mind, you will be using a lot of them at a time which means paying special attention to cooldown management. Whenever you are at a low number of Smokes, that is more time spent with the opposing team possibly having the control advantage of the map. This is especially true if the enemy team has Controller Valorant Agents as well. Always try to time when you use your Smokes to avoid being completely out. This way you won’t miss out on any opportunities to use them and keep the high ground during a match.
Screen Vs. Global Dome Smokes
There are two types of Smokes that Controller Agents Valorant can specialize in using which are the Screen or Global Dome Smokes. Both have their own qualities and slight disadvantages that can make them quite situational. This is why it’s recommended to have two types of Controllers on a team with both types of Valorant Smokes. This way your team is guaranteed to take advantage of almost every kind of possibility for a good Smoke throw or placement.
Screen Smoke
Valorant Controller Agents Viper and Harbor specialize in using Screen Smokes. These Smokes are placed in a wall shape which limits an enemy’s visibility but is much harder to use in certain areas that are more open. These Valorant Agents are also able to use Global Dome Smokes as well, but they aren’t able to throw as accurately compared to the other Controller Agents in Valorant. This makes Screen Smoke users less popular to play overall but can prove useful when mastered in certain areas.
Global Dome Smoke
Global Dome Smokes are considered to be the more popular variant of Smoke Bomb with Valorant Agents like Omen, Astra, and Brimstone specializing in them. Global Dome Smokes are placed in a dome-like shape that can cover a massive amount of space. They are also really accurate when it comes to placing through the Smoke menu when playing as one of the Controller Agents Valorant mentioned.
Another reason why Valorant Global Dome Smoke Agents are more popular is due to their viability in solo queues. Global Dome Smokes can be thrown farther and multiple can be placed down to cover a lot more space at a time. Overall, these Smokes have a lot more uses in most matches and you are likely better off choosing these more often than the Valorant Screen Smokes.
Conclusion
Playing as a Controller on Valorant can be quite challenging for a newer player due to the amount of map knowledge you need to know. Using your Smokes requires a lot of intelligence and guesswork when it comes to the enemy team. However, taking the time to practice such skills and know which Smoke Bombs you prefer using will help you improve immensely to become the best Controller Valorant you can be for your team.
