Top 5 Kay/O lineups for Lotus map in Valorant

Lotus is one of the polarising maps currently in the Valorant map pool. Pro-teams have developed set meta for the map, however, in the competitive queue, players try new comps. Kay/O is a great pick on Lotus map due to its usage.

What makes Kay/O a perfect pick for Lotus is that he can suppress the whole site with his Zero/Point knife as sites on this map are very compact. It is very useful to counter Killjoy’s and Cypher’s Setup. Since Kay/O is very powerful on Lotus, knowing his Zero/Point lineups and Frag/Ment lineups for post-plants stall comes very handy.

Kay/O lineups for Lotus in Valorant

1. Zero/Point knife from A-rubble to suppress A-site

This Kay/O knife lineup is very good for disabling all traps in A-site. Tuck yourself into the ruins in the A-rubble and look toward A site. Now position your Zero/Point Knife icon’s tip with the extended roof segment and throw your knife. It will land on the structure between A-site and suppress everybody in the site.

2. A-Link to B-Site default pit plant

The pit is in the middle of B site and if smoked properly it is a very good spot to plant in as players can hold multiple angles while playing post-plant. For a Frag/Ment lineup for this spike plant, go to A-link and stand on the wooden ledges.

Tuck yourself to the edge of the breakable part of the wall and aim toward the B-site. Now place your crosshair above the vines on the roof and throw your Frag/Ment. It will perfectly land on the spike.

3. C-Mound lineup for B-site pit plant

For this lineup, stand in front of the arch edge in C-mound and tuck yourself to the edge. You have to use the mouse indicator above the Kay/O’s Frag/ment ability mark. Look toward B-site and position the mouse indicator on the roof and throw the Frag/ment.

4. B-Site pit plant lineup from Attackers’ Spawn

Since this will be a bit distant from the site, you need to carefully hear the spike ping if you are the last man standing. Climb on wooden boxes in the attackers’ spawn that are placed toward the B-main lane. Make sure you are standing on the edge of the bigger wooden box.

Now look toward B-site, position the Zero/Point icon with the lowest ledge of the temple’s peak, and do a jumping left-click throw. It will perfectly pass through the space on top of B-site to land on the spike.

5. A-Rubble to A-Site double wooden boxes Frag/Ment lineup

It is very good to clear the double wooden boxes and can also be used if your teammate plats there. For this climb on the ruins in A-rubble. After climbing, tuck yourself to the left corner and look toward the A-site. Now place Kay/O’s Zero/Point icon on the roof ledge and simply do a left-click throw.

These Kay/O lineups will help you fight against enemies in Lotus. One thing that you should also keep in mind the projectile for Kay/O’s Frag/Ment, KJ’s Nanoswarm, and Viper Poison cloud is the same. So you can use these lineups for KJ’s Nanoswarm and Viper Poison Cloud too.
