Wait a second... this new Pearl map looks familiar...Wait a second... this new Pearl map looks familiar... Pearl has multiple entryways onto the sites, and defenders can block off routes forcing the attackers into a choke point by using Sage’s Barrier Orb, which they can use to delay the push or hold off enemies from going through said route.

Five ways to make Sage walls highly effective on Valorant s new map

A site s best locations for Sage s Barrier Orb

Even though there are multiple pathways to the site, blocking off one area of the map means that the attackers will have to either go through the barriers put down by the defenders, which is highly risky, or go around through other areas, which is going to waste valuable time. Before going through the best locations to put up Sage’s walls, players must know the map on Pearl in Valorant.

1 A Main

There are three pathways to the A site: A Main, A Link, and defender side spawn. Sage can wall off A main, preventing attackers from rushing into the A site. This may also make the attackers try to go through A Link, a fairly narrow choke point, invariably making it easier for the defending side to down opponents. A main best Wall location (Image via Sportskeeda) There are a couple of spots to place Sage’s wall in A main, one after the ultimate orb and the other before it. The spot before the ultimate orb is much safer since there is a bit more distance between the defender and the attackers, which means the latter won’t be able to prevent the wall from going up even if they rush in. Players can also decide to rush and plant past the ultimate orb to secure it. It is a bit riskier but is more secure.

2 Ledge near A Dugout

This is tricky as it helps allies look through the tiny window on the left and catch attackers off-guard. It’s a pretty helpful spot when gamers are feeling a little cocky.

Mid best location for Sage s Barrier Orb

3 Mid Doors

This wall spot is a no-brainer as mid-control is quite crucial in most rounds of a competitive match. Pearl’s mid-area has many narrow paths that attackers can quite easily exploit. Using Sage’s Barrier Orb here can prevent key rotations, allowing defenders to hold B Main more easily. Mid Door location for Sage’s Barrier Orb(Image via Sportskeeda) Mid control is essential to winning a round on most maps in and more so in Pearl. Sage can play a vital role by holding down this area and giving out information to the team on enemy rushes or rotations through mid.

B site s best locations for Sage s Barrier Orb

4 B Screen

5 B Site

They must boost themselves up a bit so that they are hidden from enemies, and once standing atop the wall, they’ll be able to see enemies pushing from B Ramps.
