@@DwellHiden Astra has the broken fake smoke so you can play infinite mind games with them + once you master being quick with placing her smokes she's just so satisfying to use
@@DwellHiden controllers are some of the most flexible agents in the game bro, being able to essentially create cover wherever you want is nuts for making plays, getting into rat corners and getting timings on unsuspecting players, they are some of the best shotgun users because of previous reason, and their lineups can win you rounds if you're consistent enough to use them fast and correctly. there are so many little nuances that no one really thinks about when they play controller and a lot of people think like you do, "oh you're just smoking for your team it's so boring" but once you get really down into the nitty gritty of it it's some of the most complex and big brain play in the entire game. expand that mindset bruv
@@DwellHiden Smoking for your team should be first priority when playing smokes on attack. But when your team already has site, you can make really fun plays.
Each video is just 1000x better than chocolate, been here since the first ‘How a Radiant Jett Main Thinks’ and plan on staying for all of the rest, keep it up ❤
I know you dabbled on it here, but can you give a guide on the fundamentals of being a (specifically remote) smoker? You gave some really good points that I've never thought about and would love to hear more of it.
i started playing astra out of nowhere in a comp and honestly it’s one of my best ranked decisions , I’ve only lost 1 game out of like 6. this is very helpful thank you !
I know this video is like 10 months ago but anyways when I first started valorant and watched this video bc i loved astra i didnt understand the terms but now rewatching it its such a good guide so thanks maxie for spending time to make these
This video was amazing thanks so much for the great content. Only thing I can say is i think sometimes you do things because you have amazing mechanics rather than making a great play. Still very useful tho.
I dont see you do it, but you can smoke when u are in the astral form 3:29, this would most likely already had you reloaded or be faster to support phoenix
having 2 controllers like Astra and brimstone on a team is just so broken, this gives us 5 smokes at once, scares the shit of the opp team to rush in post plant or to prevent them from rotating if we corner them
nice video!. just wondering if you have any tips for someone struggling with server connection/ping. ive changed my dns server, gotten ethernet, reinstalled, changed settings, restarted my router, restarted my computer. everything short of a full factory reset on my computer. ive been struggling with ping issues and packet loss. when im on ethernet, i have 900mb download and 17mb upload. sometimes the servers work great, and sometimes they don't. its quite discouraging, as im really feeling valorant right now, but can't play. wondering if you have any ideas Maxie. Thanks! at times my servers will be in the green (30 ish ping on home servers with no packet loss), but later in the evening, they will all have over 100 ping and some packet loss. its a real struggle.
i feel like ive hit a roadblock when playing sova because i don't know how to use my utility to help me play better. it would be great if you did a video on sova :)
@@arenqobangzz1926 over 30+ lineups for every map have not helped me rank up man and even in his new vid for sova he says he doesn't use too many lineups 💀

Chocolate, my worst enemy. Every year I have to get my S/O her favorite treat, Chocolate. No, it’s not any ‘normal’ chocolate either; it must have chocolate ganache and various flavors. Otherwise, it’s not real chocolate and midder than my Valorant gameplay

I just became a Astra main about a week ago and it's going well, but this video is really the best out of them all. Appreciate the content!

Nice. I found this video bc im about to unlock her, but im a killjoy, sage, reyna, and maybe sometimes phoenix

glad to see you took the music advice, the new songs give off the same vibe so your branding is suuuper on-point :)

Astra seems like she’s really hard to play but she’s actually very intuitive I like it
#sn4il463 what’s your rank?

bro mains everyone at this point
finally some video I can learn from, chocolate :3
an omen version would be amazing if you could make one ❤️
I’m definitely going to apply what I learned from this to my actual gameplay cus astra is like the only smokes player I know how to play lol
Brim is easier lmaoo haha
0:04 That is some nice thinking
Bro Exactly😭
I dont see you do it, but you can smoke when u are in the astral form 3:29, this would most likely already had you reloaded or be faster to support phoenix
bro, these clips sweet as chocolate
love the series, its kmore awesome than late night chocolate
i love you maxie
Golly gee I sure love chocolate! (Great video btw gameplay is really good)
is that a regular white crosshair with black outlines or is the color different? cuz I like the contrast of it (at 8:35)
He is just good at every agent.
I use astra as a troll, but i turn out playing pretty decent with it cuz i just focus on gunplayn not be "distracted" by abilities
People never expect the suck after the smoke
What are your color settings for your pc?
Hey maxie can u make a video on how to find sensitivity?
having 2 controllers like Astra and brimstone on a team is just so broken, this gives us 5 smokes at once, scares the shit of the opp team to rush in post plant or to prevent them from rotating if we corner them
Owh myy lordy lord
the people tryna use chocolate cleverly j making me laugh
Great vid man. Chocolate!
bro what is that famous remix
Bro mains every role every week, every character every day
like ur videos keep going
I’m a brimstone main that is tired of having a stim beacon take up an ability slot. Might switch tbh
Great video, keep doing what ur doing! Chocolate
hey i just started playing last month, went iron to gold, should i keep working on mechanics?
Waiting for how to think as a Reyna main❤
As a young aspiring astra main I am looking for any guides on how to play astra.👀👀👀
I heard dark chocolate is great for stem cell production, which can be useful for us astra mains making huge brain plays
what is the link or app you use broo, tysm
The way you ulted in 7:47 is just an optional ult or u just feel like you need to seperate the 50% of site ?
CHOCOLATE OMG I LOVE CHOCOLATE WOW
whats the crosshair from the lotus game
I would love some chocolate coaching!
Bro is every main ☠️☠️

I can relate with the packet loss thing, teleporting is genuinely infuriating. How many devices are in use in your house at once, how many people?
@@Afiriss just got ethernet. same issues. but its only at a certain time, so im like what? cuz my speeds are like 900mb download and 17mb upload
I LOVE CHOCOLATE
