Valorant: How to play Cypher in Split: The best setups and one ways

Split is a map known to Valorant players, especially since it’s been part of the game since the beginning. Understanding how Cypher works here is essential for putting together your setups, as Split is in the current map rotation and could be the scenario to be played in casual and competitive matches.

Even if you use other agents, consider reading this article, as it’s always important to understand which traps and smokes enemies will use when they are against you.

A good Cypher can unbalance games, especially at lower ranks, as many players up to Gold and Platinum do not expect traps that are very well-designed by this sentinel. With this in mind, we at UmGamer have put together an objective guide to explain more about Cypher's strongest and most popular setups in Split. Check it out!

Cypher setups in Split's Bomb A

Setup 1

Setup 2

With this configuration, the idea is to remove some security from the mid to place it in the rafters, essential when opponents are entering more quickly. Position yourself close to this wire to easily shoot down enemies who pass by.

Cypher setups in Split's Bomb B

Setup 1

Setup 2

We don't have many changes in the second configuration, just moving the trap back a little from the rafters/mid, an interesting fact is that the wall I shoot at in the video doesn’t protect the enemies from your bullets, so we can eliminate opponents who try to hide. The camera and the smoke and wire positioning in the garage remain the same.

Bomb A

In A, there are two cages made safely, on your side of the map, to deny the enemy vision of your team's advancement, you can conquer the rafters with ease. The camera will help you observe if there’s anyone in the CT.

Bomb B

In B, one of the big problems are heroes who position themselves on the left side of the entrance. To make sure if this is the case, you can use your camera. Against a Killjoy, who will usually place its Turret there, it’s possible to place a smoke to allow a smoother entry, without being detected by the sentinel.

Conclusion

Just be careful to change setups as necessary, and also avoid repeating them for several rounds in a row to avoid becoming expected by your opponents. I hope this article helped you play Cypher in Split, I'm available for questions or suggestions in the comments!
