Valorant Post-Plant and Retake Roles

Valorant post-plants are lost by players who hunt the last kill instead of watching the spike. The bomb is the round.

Assign a spike watcher

One player plays the bomb. The others play the swing. If everyone peeks, the defuse is free.

Utility after plant is for delay: molly, alarm, slow. Do not save it for a clip.

Retake needs a default

Smoke the spike, flash the swing, then trade. Five dry peeks into a setup is a donate.

If you are two down, play for the defuse window, not for a miracle 3k through smoke.

Contact on the defuse

Shoot the defuse, then the body. Pride duels while the bar completes lose rounds that were already won.
