Grid Flick: a Valorant flick drill for switching targets

Grid Flick trains the switch you make when two enemies show on a site at once: first kill, short move, next kill. Neighbouring cells are 1.2 m apart, about 7° at this distance, so most switches are a wrist movement, not a turn.

It leaves out a lot of what decides fights. The targets stand still and nobody shoots back, so it says nothing about where your crosshair waits or whether you stopped before firing. Those belong to Clear the Angles and Peek Duel.

The score is kills × 100 × accuracy, so every miss taxes every kill in the run. Eighty kills at 90% accuracy scores 7,200. Ninety kills at 70% scores 6,300. Ten extra kills do not pay for twenty points of accuracy.

Clicking on the way to a target is the mistake that shows up most in this drill. The flick feels finished before the crosshair is there, the shot goes wide, and the correction that follows would have been free if you had waited for it.

Pick the next target while the current shot is landing, and take the nearest of the remaining two so your path stays short. Make one committed movement with a small correction at the end. A new target can appear anywhere except the cell you just cleared, so check where it landed instead of assuming it is behind you.

First. One run takes a minute and it is the warm-up that opens AimKata’s daily routine, at Medium. Run the ranked version at Standard once your accuracy has settled, usually after two or three warm-up runs, not cold.
