assistant: In Valorant, a game plan involves scouting the opponent team, understanding their composition and map priorities, and determining how your team will approach the game against that specific adversary. 

The game plan leads to a set of tactics and plays, which are divided into attackers' and defenders' sides. 

As an attacker, a tactic consists of a default, which is the first part of the play, and an execution, which is the second part of the play after the default has been achieved. 

As a defender, a tactic involves the distribution of agents throughout the map, areas to hold control, skills to use, and the goals of the play. Success in tactics as a defender depends on having the right information at the right time and being able to adapt to the attackers' play.

prompter: What are some of the best methods I can use to scout out the enemy team?

assistant: Here is a valorant tactic: A, B and Sky, work together to defeat the enemy. The players have different roles, with one designated as the "plus one". This player is relied upon to be in sync with the rest of the group. At one point, Sky becomes the new "plus one" and makes a new group with two other players. The objective is to analyze the enemy's strengths and weaknesses and adapt accordingly. The article provides basic guidance on using attack groups in the game.
