The Lotus map in Valorant is the newest map which is quite unique and difficult to maintain because it has 3 sites at once. As a new map, Lotus has been popular lately. Therefore, you must know the 3 best and most effective sentinel agents for the Lotus Valorant map.
Cypher
When in attack conditions, Cypher can be relied on with Tripwire which is the best solution to guard the opponent's defense line. What is special about Cypher agents, their traps cannot die by themselves or have a certain distance like even Chamber or Killjoy agents. This means that Cypher can have control in several areas and allows the team to pressure opponents without having to worry about flanking from the other side.
When in defensive mode, the Tripwire can also be used to defend at crucial spots such as the back. This makes it easier for Cypher to defend the area making it difficult for opponents to penetrate.
Killjoy
Killjoy is also one of the best sentinel agents in the Lotus map, Valorant. The reason is that this bespectacled female agent can use Nanoswarm Mollies for important points in the Lotus map, such as at the B site or C site. Apart from Nanoswarm Mollies, what makes Killjoy most effective in this map is Lockdown which is Killjoy's ultimate. The reason is, if used correctly, this ultimate can make opponents leave the site so that the team can enter and attack in that area.
Sage
In a defensive scenario, Sage is indeed one of the best sentinel agents to choose from. Using Sage on the Lotus map is actually almost similar to using Sage when playing on the Haven map thanks to the Barrier Orb.
This Barrier Orb skill can be used to block site B early in the game. Its function can prevent opponents from entering the lanes in this area or buying time so that the team can leave the site. This wall can also lure your opponent to go to C Waterfall.
Those are the 3 best sentinel agents for the Lotus map, which one is the most effective will depend on your team's playing style.
