Derke’s Dueling Masterclass: Top Tips to Make You Perform like a Valorant World Champion
Note: We will be covering the tips we think have the most impact on playstyles. Check out Derke’s Twitter for the full thread.
No 1: Know Your Agent
If you prefer to play Raze and Jett, it is important to know every single ability and its effect on your entry capability. Practice dashes, satchels, and updrafts to ensure that you are familiar with the movement on those agents when dealing with them on specific scenarios.
2. Play with your Team
A duelist cannot make space if the initiators cannot clear some angles by stunning or darting for them. Therefore, it is important for you to ask your teammates to stun or flash for you when you enter the site.
3. Don’t Overextend and Overpeek
Valorant is a numbers game. Therefore, if you overpeek your opponents it will be a problem since you will lose the advantage you have. If it is a 5v3 or a 5v4, entry on-site together and play the man advantage until you win the round.
4. Be Everywhere
You should play from different angles on different sites every round; especially if you have an OP. Since it is important for you to keep the element of surprise. Getting a pick and rushing to another angle is going to be advantageous because the enemy won’t expect you there.
5. Don’t be Scared to Entry
It is understandable to be scared of dying first. however, being a duelist it is your job to create space. Therefore, do not be scared of entrying on-site first and taking space. If your teammates are dropping utility for you, chances are you can get easy pickings due to the chaos.
6. Play Multiple Agents
It is important to play multiple agents. First, it helps you build up a solid foundation for the game by testing out multiple mechanics. Second, it helps you from getting stale.
7. Warm-Up Routine
It is important to establish a warm-up routine since it will make your aim more consistent and your strafing better. Do not change crosshairs too much and stick to sensitivity. That is the only thing you should remember about your settings.
