B Site Post-plant Lineups

Navigating through B site Pearl can be daunting, especially with its lengthy entry path. However, once you get that spike planted, you must ensure its safety at all costs. Lucky for you, Brimstone's got your back! He can easily keep the defusers at bay from a distance with his Incendiary. So, without further ado, let's look at some of Brimstone's most effective post-plant lineups for the B site.

B Default from Ramp

Taking control of B can be a real game-changer in Valorant. If you're lucky enough to have a Gekko on your team, they'll likely send their wingman to the Default spot for the spike plant. But watch out because the box that acts as the cover is wall-bangable, making it a tough place to plant successfully. However, if you get that all-important plant, a well-executed Brimstone lineup can easily swing the match in your favor. Learn this essential lineup for B site and dominate the battlefield!

However, don't be fooled into thinking it's an easy win for attackers. The game balances things out by giving defenders an advantage in defusing the spike. To ensure victory, master the Brimstone lineup and use it on your ranked games. This will leave the defenders no chance of success and lead you to a well-deserved win.
