Valorant: ValCoach Teaches Us How To Play Lotus; The New Valorant Map!

The newest map in Valorant has three bombsites, just like Haven. But it might be a little tough to navigate, because of the revolving doors.

The newest map has a lot of tight corners, long hallways, archways, and short cubbies that can be hard to see. The B Bombsite has a lot of angles from which you can get shot at. That is why, if you haven’t figured out how to approach the map, we got you. ValCoach recently posted a Twitter thread showing an essential strategy on Lotus. Let us take a look at what you can do with this information.

ValCoach Teaches us How to Play Lotus in Valorant

First, we will discuss which area matters the most at the start of the round.


They have given a detailed diagram of how to take space in each area. However, you will need specific agents to execute, which is impossible unless you’re 5 stacking.


Next is the A execute. The best tip on A is for Initiators to flash, stun, and suppress the enemies for Duelists to take advantage. This gives an advantage for Ts since CTs will be trapped and flashed. Then all that is left is to trade and delay the retake.

Same start for B. However, it is advisable to push CT to spawn and play off the teammate’s contact for the best results.


Similar start to clear close angles and execute fast on this site. The advisable thing is not to push CT but have any other player lurk or be off-site.


On defense, B Main, C Lobby, and A Lobby matter the most and are the most convenient.


For A site retakes, using Initiators and Controllers is essential. Ensure utility is used continuously while grenades are used to clear hiding spots.


Clearing flanks before retaking B is essential. As B has multiple entries, covering all areas will make it easier to defuse, and utility usage is essential.


Finally, for C, getting information is critical, pushing on-site together with utility and controlling the fight’s pace. These are the basics of the map, which will help you get some advantage over the uninitiated. Check out ValCoach on Twitter for more tips and coaching!
