Looking to level up your mechanics in Valorant but don’t know where to start? Former pro and top-tier coach Trick just dropped one of the most practical breakdowns we’ve seen this year. If you’re tired of grinding ranked with no results, these three proven tips might be exactly what you need to break through your current plateau and start seeing major gains—fast.

Whether you’re stuck in Gold or trying to make the leap to Immortal, here’s what Trick wants you to know.

Who is Trick?

Trick is a former professional Valorant player who competed with orgs like DarkZero and MAD Lions. After stepping away from pro play, he shifted into full-time coaching, helping players climb from Silver to Ascendant in just weeks—and even coaching talent who made it onto Sentinels Academy in the Valorant Challengers League.

Now, he’s sharing three core mechanical tips that can actually elevate your game.

Tip #1: Don’t Be a Bursting Bot

Most players are taught to burst as their default shooting mechanic—but Trick says this turns many of you into predictable robots. The real key? Knowing when to deviate from bursting and use other tools like spraying, crouch-peeking, or wide swinging.

In a clip from a recent Radiant game, Trick crouch-swung a player who was holding him from a tough angle, disrupting their crosshair placement and winning the duel. He followed up by committing to a spray in another scenario, only because he correctly read the timing and enemy positioning.

Key takeaway: The best players aren’t locked into one style—they adapt based on context. Understand when crouching or spraying is optimal instead of always defaulting to bursting.

Tip #2: Use Targeted Deathmatches

Not all deathmatches are created equal. Trick recommends using targeted DMs to directly fix your personal weaknesses.

Caught crouching in bad spots? Spend time in DM specifically working on when to crouch and when not to. Keep your training focused, intentional, and built around your individual flaws.

Trick explains how he noticed himself crouching too much without info. Instead of just hoping it improved, he isolated that behavior in deathmatch and drilled it until it was fixed.

This kind of intentional, specific practice is how pros improve fast.

Tip #3: Be Consistent, Not Trendy

Trick’s final and arguably most important tip is this: train consistently, not sporadically. Too many players chase new drills or gimmicks every week, never building real habits.

Here’s his simple but powerful system:

  • Step 1: Warm up for 15–30 minutes before playing
  • Step 2: Play 3+ deathmatches daily, especially after ranked
  • Step 3: Prioritize consistent sleep and nutrition
  • Step 4: Play daily, even just a few DMs if you’re short on time

Your brain learns mechanics during sleep. A bad night can literally erase your progress, while quality sleep can turbocharge improvement.

Train like a pro, and your rank will follow.

If you’re serious about improving your mechanics, Trick also offers a four-week training program designed to give you the tools, drills, and structure to reach your peak. It’s currently on sale for $59.99 at trickcoaching.com with the code YouTube.
