BEST Ascent Defense Smokes (Valorant Tips)
403Socials: https://linktr.ee/jaeky
Holding Ascent on defense comes down to controlling space and denying enemy vision—and the right smoke placements can completely shut down an enemy execute before it starts. In this video, we cover the best defensive smokes for both A and B Sites on Ascent, helping you delay pushes, isolate attackers, and support your teammates more effectively. Whether you play Omen, Brimstone, or Astra, these smokes are must-knows for ranked play.
On A Site, we go over how to smoke A Main and A Tree to cut off sightlines and split attackers coming from Garden or Mid. These smokes let your anchor hold close angles safely while slowing down or baiting utility from the attackers. For B Site, smoking B Main and Mid Link can prevent early picks and buy time for rotates—especially important when defending short-handed or holding off split pushes.
We also explain how to combine smokes with utility from other agents, when to re-smoke choke points mid-round, and how to use your utility proactively rather than reactively. These setups aren’t just theory—they’re tested in real match situations and built to help you control the pace on defense.
If you're losing sites too quickly or always getting overrun by fast executes, your smoke usage is probably part of the problem. This guide will help you fix that and become a more reliable defender on Ascent. Master these smokes and start turning defensive rounds into easy wins.
