One of the top minds in aim training, lowgravity56, has curated a 24-minute VALORANT playlist that will help players at all skill levels practice their core aim fundamentals, flicking, micros, and smoothness.

The playlist aims to work as both a main daily training routine, and a warm up playlist that you can run through before jumping into your VALORANT matches each day. The playlist features 8 one-minute task, that you will run through 3 times each. It’s structured around what are considered the three main aim categories or techniques for VALORANT: flicking, microcorrections, and smoothness. The playlist also features two tasks toward the end that are going to replicate in-game scenarios more accurately, focusing on two common situations, fighting enemies who are strafing frequently, and reacting to enemies peeking angles.
Microcorrections:
Micro 2 Sphere VALORANT – Features two small static targets in a small play space, designed to help you train your core micros. It also serves as an in-playlist warmup for the overall routine. This one is easy to play, fun, and a great isolated exercise to practice those small flicks.
Microshot VALORANT – This task features two tasks in a long corridor which make predictable strafes. This is great for learning how to chain together those microcorrections and eliminate multiple evasive targets consecutively, something that will help your VALORANT game immensely.
Flicking:
Adjustshot VALORANT – Two targets spawn on a wide wall with no variation in depth, but the targets are not static, and they will make slight movements. This is useful for training proper flicking technique as it requires the initial flick and the quick micro correction needed to adapt to those gentle movements.
Headshot VALORANT – Features four moving targets that are moving side to side across a wide play area, which will change direction once they hit the side walls. This task also features depth, so some targets will be closer, others will be further away. This will represent those situations where you catch multiple enemies who are rotating, unaware that you’ve peaked from an angle on them.
Smoothness:
Strafe Track VALORANT – This task features a single invincible tracking target that moves horizontally, with slight back and forth motions. This mimics VALORANT players who are often strafing or ADADing as you engage them in an aim duel. This task will help to train your target reads and tension control as you react to the target changing directions.
Angle Track VALORANT – This task features on rails movement, where you are moving side to side in a half circle around the target area. Work on tracking a static target that will despawn and respawn every six seconds. This is a great task to train your stability, as it will teach you to use your full arm range of motion while you track. This one is also helpful as it helps you practice to maintain solid crosshair placement as you take angles.
Game Specific:
Strafeshot VALORANT – A dynamic task with four targets that appear at different heights, strafing horizontally that will stop moving frequently. This will represent the target behaviors you’ll see in-game, as players will move erratically and evasively to avoid letting you kill them. This recreates some of the more difficult aiming situations in VALORANT outside of agents using their abilities, so training this in isolation will be beneficial. This task uses a lot of the fundamentals you had practiced in the previous tasks.
Peekshot VALORANT – This task is designed to replicating holding a corridor where the opponents can peek you from either side. This one is great for training your reactivity and micros in a very common situation that you will run into in VALORANT.
