yo Slick for tip #1, there’s a setting to make it so u can slide into your primary gun. I forget where it is but I set it up 3 months ago and it helps a lot!
For fix#4 you can also say that using your wall to eliminate some angles when first coming in then stunning the remaining angles is a good strategy to safely clear a good chunk of site
Ok the second tip is debatable because if your in a 1v1, and your opponent may be holding that corner where you slide early. So if you were to slide wide your opponent would have to readjust farther, and you would have the advantage. Worked for me multiple times.
There are definitely some situations where his tips don't work. 11 might be better to slide close if you have a shorter range gun or potentially if you're just not hitting shots. I think most situations however, his tips would be optimal. Although val players have a habit of finding the worst timing to push you so I can't say for certain. At least with the pre-sliding your gun will be out when you come face to face with that enemy in your example.
I came here thinking this was going to be filled with overly technical stuff that is difficult to grasp, but you actually gave useful, simple tips on how to be a better Neon. Great stuff, thanks
For fix #6, I do understand it. But also having that jump and doing some movement that will mess them up, you can slide out in any direction to mess them up even more. But I do get that b hopping will delay but it can also help!
Well ever since i started to play valorant i always treated it as a secondary game where i take completely non-serious. So most people ive met were pretty rude towards me cause of my non conventional rushy playstyle. And yes i always insta lock neon cause i just love gambling my aim skills vs theirs. Thanks for this guide though I will especially try to focus on improving on those peeks with slide cause i mostly did them random af XD
Thank you so much for the video, I've recently unlocked neon and want to become a neon main if I ever feel like playing duelist and I just played her in an unrated match and struggled, but this video made neon look simple and not overcomplex unlike other neon mains. Thank you so much for the tips.
In shorter angles, air strafing and dodge strafing are actually beneficial because you abuse Neon's horizontal speed to make enemies have a tougher time shooting you down. Especially at a closer range, they have to swing wider to track you, people typically panic and run out of mousepad. Search up Neon air strafing/dodge strafing and you will find a few videos. There's a few communities dedicated to movement theory solely on Neon's playstyle.
For the 2nd mistake, the only benefit I see for doing it over the fix#2 is changing the ennemy crosshair placement especially if someone is holding with an operator
Just started valorant and my first recruit is Neon and here I am watching a guide cuz my first gameplay was full of toxic smurfs (my match is unrated so I dont know if the match making is all ranks).
So i sharted playing neon in my ranked I'm newbie just joined it like I'm iron 3 this video really helps me as i get ban for 3 days in ranked so i will learn mechanics of neon
All the tips are good.. i just started playing her recently cuz she just seems so fun plus i saw some plays too of like shiroz and other streamers. But i think B hopping is good.. the example you showed wasn't fair tho hehe.. cuz you can easily dodge more bullets bunny hopping and immediately slide and kill them
B hopping is useful if you use smartly just dash strafe use your surroundings don't move in a straight line without jumping the enemies will be more accurate yiu can dash backwards with the b hopping if you aren't too confident
Trying valo for the first time on console (I know it’s gross) but I picked up neon and my friend kept telling me to shoot from slide due to her not having a shooting error and I couldn’t figure out how bc it took forever for my gun to come up and tip # 1 literally answered my question thank you lol
I think this was a bug exclusive to console that should have gotten fixed by now. You can shoot during her slide and bullets have no movement error during that time. The gun should come out instantly.
Thanks! also, this is only related to the editing, what song are you playing at 7:00? its the exact melody i had stuck in my head like actually a decade ago and i was never able to figure out what it was from
Wait they buffed Neon’s ult? I remember it doing 22 damage per tick no matter where you hit them. That’s why I always aim for the body because it’s easier to track. I didn’t know it has headshot damage now.
just got neon an tryin to get better at her but for the orbs is my ult high on the priority list? Like I feel like when it comes to orbs some agents shouldn't grab over others an to me duelists are pretty low on the totem pole since they should be getting kills anyway. I could be wrong tho since I'm new it's just where my mind went
I use the 7:45 one i found that shit recently it's really over power whith ult I got lucky one time and there were 2 guys on this spot whith the others on A . It was an easy ace
yo Slick for tip #1, there’s a setting to make it so u can slide into your primary gun. I forget where it is but I set it up 3 months ago and it helps a lot!
we know
I left this out because it can swap to an unloaded weapon if it’s out of bullets which is normally bad. I have this off but it is personal preference.
@@Slck true it sometimes also switches to my primary when I use marshal even though I want to use ghost or frenzy. I might change it and try it out
@@mrfreshcat I didn't... So thx to this guy ik now :)

Neon can be powerful without all of the crazy movement people do that make her look complicated.
5:00 that is a huge example I'm currently 19600 xp of unlocking neon so it's best to learn before I start doing alot of these mistakes

Update i quit val cause it nearly made me kms
@@Josh-tl7sb sheesh dude its a game
For the 2nd mistake, the only benefit I see for doing it over the fix#2 is changing the ennemy crosshair placement especially if someone is holding with an operator
ive been meaning to be main neon lately and this video actually helped me a ton. thanks dude
Just started valorant and my first recruit is Neon and here I am watching a guide cuz my first gameplay was full of toxic smurfs (my match is unrated so I dont know if the match making is all ranks).
Why am I watching this. I don’t even play valorant
The early neon mistakes are giving me extreme AWKWARDNESS as a CoD player. Also the neon overdrive one is making me laugh a lot.
So i sharted playing neon in my ranked I'm newbie just joined it like I'm iron 3 this video really helps me as i get ban for 3 days in ranked so i will learn mechanics of neon
4:57 that sage lowkey threw HEAVY
I think u r wrong with bhopping u can take larger turns with good strafing and bhopping combination, it makes u a whole lot harder to hit
All the tips are good.. i just started playing her recently cuz she just seems so fun plus i saw some plays too of like shiroz and other streamers. But i think B hopping is good.. the example you showed wasn't fair tho hehe.. cuz you can easily dodge more bullets bunny hopping and immediately slide and kill them
bhopping with neon is important, the sage in that clip was literally run and gunning
Can you explain why? I know its harder to hit but it makes you harder to hit enemies too. And when jumping u still get stopped by a shoot no?
mistake 6 caught me out imma try do that more thanks bro
4:59 ngl that was 100% the sage
funny how the second "mistake" doesn't matter anymore lmao
Good guide, thanks a lot !
underrated
This is way better than most Neon videos out there. Very underrated.
This is all very very basic information, like no way I’m supposed to run and gun with neons ult??? No waaaay
B hopping is useful if you use smartly just dash strafe use your surroundings don't move in a straight line without jumping the enemies will be more accurate yiu can dash backwards with the b hopping if you aren't too confident
B ro thanks you so much this right here is a Life saver lad
0:51 The sova sounded like a cheappickle
Tyyyy I'm trying to learn neon
Trying valo for the first time on console (I know it’s gross) but I picked up neon and my friend kept telling me to shoot from slide due to her not having a shooting error and I couldn’t figure out how bc it took forever for my gun to come up and tip # 1 literally answered my question thank you lol
I tried having my gun out before the slide and it still doesn’t shoot immediately. Why???
I think this was a bug exclusive to console that should have gotten fixed by now. You can shoot during her slide and bullets have no movement error during that time. The gun should come out instantly.
1:14 we all gonna ignore what the other guy is doing 😂
Thanks! also, this is only related to the editing, what song are you playing at 7:00? its the exact melody i had stuck in my head like actually a decade ago and i was never able to figure out what it was from
this was very helpful
1:14 viper was wild
real neon mains knows 5th isnt true (if youre good at bhopping and if youre not then u shouldnt play neon)
@@byroopepalomaa that actually depends
Wait they buffed Neon’s ult? I remember it doing 22 damage per tick no matter where you hit them. That’s why I always aim for the body because it’s easier to track. I didn’t know it has headshot damage now.
wow that wall tip is amazing holy shit
All tips are good and perfect but my guy just turn on auto respawn bro 😭
Nah bro going fr fr slick, tho what's the crosshair
3:16 if he missed his whole mag, it would have been the biggest whiff
So, neon ult actually deals domaga based on distance and not where you shoot
Thanks for the Guide!! Def made some of those mistakes
Sorry, some of this advice was awful 😢 as a Neon main you want to bunny hop a lot to keep your movement predictable
That advice was when already see or are aware of the enemy
What he said was to slide you can do it either with or without bhop
thx
u inspire me to be a neon main
LFG
"you can just jump peak here"
me: jump peaks
*gets 1 tapped*
Very cool vid 😘
gr8 video slick
Thank you
you forgot nr.12 not takin lethal doses of adderal while playin
5:01 does that sage have hands?
not bhopping with neon? joking? hhahaha
just got neon an tryin to get better at her but for the orbs is my ult high on the priority list? Like I feel like when it comes to orbs some agents shouldn't grab over others an to me duelists are pretty low on the totem pole since they should be getting kills anyway. I could be wrong tho since I'm new it's just where my mind went
omen ult: nahhhh thats ez
most under rated val player on god
bro these tips are common sence
bro is the rob of yoru
I use the 7:45 one i found that shit recently it's really over power whith ult I got lucky one time and there were 2 guys on this spot whith the others on A . It was an easy ace
5:00 sage is radiant for sure lol
Why did they have to take away one of the stuns 😢
1:12 What da viper doing?
bro just change the settings that makes it so you pull out your strongest weapon when sliding?
I don't know that I hit laser on head more damage will gain on enemy
3:13 😮💨😮💨
thank you for fixing me i popped off in this video
1:13 look at viper what is she doing 😏😏
What the viper doing
as a neon main i can confirm that all he said was common sense and made it a vid...
Some people don’t realize the mistakes they make without someone pointing it out. Good to keep yourself in check at all times!
But but... Bhopping with neon is fun
ayo what was viper doin after she killed u
🫣
Viper at 1:19🗿🗿
viper at 1:15
but u ken tschange setings to strongest
can i get the x crosshair
ults*
dont pick Neon and u fix everything
Man thats a really horny viper at 1:14
I never bhop ITS yust not that good
w vid
how to get bitc*** tutorial next plz? :(
Coming in 2027
This is so stupid.
It gets stupider as the video progresses 😂😂
0:35
How do you skip the gun cocking? Neon still has to chamber her first bullet before firing but yours is already ready and you don't explain it
if you pull it out first then activate speed, after you slide you wont need to chamber it at the end of the slide
