Fade is an agent in VALORANT who excels at setting her team up for success. She can also use her shadows to reveal the tree area on Lotus in a way that no one else can.

On April 26th, a player on VALORANT’s subreddit showed off a newly discovered Fade lineup on Lotus that makes her more powerful than ever. To perform this nifty yet easy trick, stand on a rock in A main, aim slightly above the door, and use her Haunt ability. Doing so will reveal the entire tree area, giving your team a ton of information.

Since the main job of an initiator is to find and gather information, this new formation is a useful addition to Fade's bag of tricks. Not only does this make retakes much stronger, but it can also be used as a strong post-plant play, making it powerful for both the attacker and defender. Plus, it's a very safe spot for a formation that your opponents would never expect.

But that’s not all. According to the player, you can also use Fade’s Seize ability from the same spot, allowing you to hold your opponents for a short period of time. With good team communication, this setup can easily win you a round. Since Lotus is a map that heavily favors initiators like Breach and Skye, this will allow Fade to be more competitive with other agents and perhaps become a go-to pick.
