The A site is an important part of the map Ascent for attackers to run their strategies.

B Site Scan Haunt

The B site in Ascent requires a lot of teamwork from the attackers to find success. It is a site that is trickier to take compared to the A site. But retaking the site is also harder for the defenders. Therefore, mastering the strategies related to Ascent B is crucial, and this Haunt lineup can be a good starting point.

Step 3: Do a running jump throw, and the haunt will scan most of B site upon landing. Be careful; this lineup may take some work to get right. We recommend practising this in a custom server before you try this in a PUG.

B Site Fast Haunt

Competitive Valorant is all about adaptive decision-making, and the situation may occur that your team is hastily pushing B. There may be better solutions than our previously discussed lineup in such a scenario, as it requires significant effort and precision to pull off. Instead, try this fast lineup on B, which can be thrown with minimum time investment.

Step 3: A simple left-click throw will be enough for this lineup to work. This one is useful during a fast push to B site where your team needs the tight corners to be cleared quickly. 

Mid Info Haunt

It is common for attackers to try to take mid-control as it opens up many options for them, such as B Market, A rafters etc. However, it can be difficult to succeed here without using a few good utilities. Fade’s Haunt is an excellent ability that greatly benefits the attackers to take control of mid.
