VALORANT: Brimstone Post-plant Molly Lineups on Lotus
The VALORANT Protocol commander’s special molly packs a punch.
Players have been able to play in Lotus for a few weeks now. In that period, players have experimented with various team compositions that they believe will work well on VALORANT’s newest triple bombsite map.
Right now, Sentinels and Controllers fill up the top 10 Agents in terms of Winrate (according to Blitz. gg), which makes a lot of sense, as players will be looking for Agents that can defend multiple spots on Lotus’ triple bombsite setup. Number 4 on that list is no other than the VALORANT commander himself – Brimstone.
Brimstone’s triple Sky Smoke, Stim Beacon, and Orbital Strike should be very effective on Lotus. Incendiary Grenades should work well for post-plant situations on the map as well.
With that said, we have lined up a few post-plant Molly lineups that will let you take advantage of Brimstone’s powerful Incendiary Grenade on Lotus.
Brimstone Incendiary Grenade
Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade is a standard molly ability with a 4.5-meter radius. Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade is great because of its great tick damage and decently long duration relative to other molly abilities in the game.
Incendiary Grenade deals a total of 420-465 damage through 420-465 ticks that deal one damage each. These ticks come fast, which means players that come into contact with Brimstone’s molly will have their HP drained fairly quickly.
Incendiary Grenade also features a long duration that lasts at least 7 seconds. The total time is 1 second longer due to the 0.25 explosion time and 0.75 spread time.
Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade is a dangerous molly ability that works best in post-plant situations due to its high damage output and long duration. Brimstone can only carry one charge of Incendiary, making it a valuable ability that must be used wisely within a round.
Lotus A-site Brimstone Molly
Two of the most common post-plant positions on Lotus A-site are A-Default and A-Hut. Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade can easily cover both of these spots through the simple lineups featured below.
A-Root to A-Default
- Stand in this corner at A-Root:
2. Place the dot above the Incendiary Grenade bind letter on the tip of the hanging vines on the wall:
3. Fire Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade:
When done properly, Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade should land at A-Default:
A-Tree to A-Default
- Stand in this corner in A-Tree:
2. Aim for this corner on the wall:
3. Run forward, then fire Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade:
When done properly, Brimstone’s Molly should land at A-Default:
A-Hut from A-Root
- Stand in this corner at A-Root:
2. Place the tip of Brimstone’s Sky Smoke icon next to this small leaf on the roof:
3. Fire Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade:
When done properly, Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade should land inside A-Hut:
Lotus B-site Brimstone Molly
B-site is the trickiest bombsite on Lotus for lineups. Standard overhead lineups will require pinpoint precision since there’s just a small hole on the B-site roof to land molly lineups for B-Default.
Attacker Spawn to B-Default
- Center your crosshair on this dot on the box at Attack Side Spawn:
2. Place the dot above the Stim Beacon bind letter on this edge of the roof:
3. Fire Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade:
When done properly, Brimstone’s Molly should land at B-Default:
Lotus C-site Brimstone Molly
C-site is also fairly difficult to land lineups because of the tall walls and small roofline openings. With creativity, you can easily use Brimstone’s Molly to cover C-Default or the alternative plant spot on C-site.
C-Alternate Plant Post-plant Molly
- Stand in this corner at C-Lobby:
2. Place the left tip of the HUD line between Incendiary Grenade and Sky Smoke on this spot on the wall:
3. JUMPTHROW Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade:
When done properly, Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade should land at C-Alternate Plant:
Lotus C-site Default Post-plant Molly
- Stand in the middle of the figures on the wall at C-Lobby:
2. Place the upper right corner of Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade mouse indicator on the tip of this hanging leaf on the wall:
3. Fire Brimstone’s Incendiary Grenade:
When done properly, Brimstone’s molly should land at C-Default:
Locked and Loaded
Brimstone can only carry one charge of Incendiary every round, so it might be best to save his only molly charge for post-plant molly lineups.
This way, you can take advantage of Incendiary Grenade’s high damage and long duration to help delay the bomb defuse just enough to set it off and win attacking rounds on Lotus.
