Let's be real for a second. You think you know Killjoy? You think placing a couple of turrets and nanoswarms on defense makes you a mastermind? Oh, my sweet summer child. I used to be like you, blissfully unaware of the true, earth-shattering power hidden in those little yellow orbs. That was before I unlocked the forbidden knowledge—the sacred art of the post-plant lineup on Pearl's A Site. Now? Now I am the architect of despair, the puppeteer of panic, and I'm here to show you how to ascend from a mere sentinel to a tactical deity. Are you ready to have your mind blown?

How I Built My Lineup Dojo (The Ultimate Practice Guide)

Before we get to the god-tier throws, you need the perfect training ground. Setting up a custom game with cheats is non-negotiable. It's like Neo entering the Matrix for the first time. You need to bend reality to your will. Here's my sacred ritual:

1. Create a Custom Game on Pearl. Obviously.

2. Click 'Options' and TURN ON CHEATS. This is where the magic begins.

3. Once in-game, bind a key to fly freely. I use 'F' for 'Fly', naturally.

4. Activate the Divine Buffs:

   • Infinite Abilities (Spam those nades!)

   • Infinite Ammo (For... ambiance)

   • Infinite Magazines

   • Infinite Creds (Feel rich, king/queen)

   • Ignore Shopping Restrictions

5. Pause the match timer. Time is an illusion when you're mastering the cosmos.

6. Finally, enable Invulnerability. You think I'm going to let my own genius kill me? Please.

Now you're ready. The canvas is blank, and you are the artist.

My Divine Lineup Arsenal for the Default Plant Spot

This is where the fun begins. Planting on default and then waltzing away with supreme confidence? That's the dream. And I make it a reality from four different dimensions.

The A Main Ambush: Simple, Brutal, Effective

Want a quick and dirty win? This is your bread and butter. After planting, scamper back to A Main and hide behind that trusty wooden box. Feel the power of safety! Now, for the pixel-perfect precision:

• Position: Hug the box, press yourself against the orange stripe on the wall.

• Aim: Look to the heavens (or the glass ceiling). Find that floating submarine. Place your crosshair just below and slightly to the right of its majestic hull.

• Pro-Tip: Align the right edge of your HUD's white line with the grey stripe on the glass. Then, make sure your Swarm Grenade's triangle icon kisses the other stripe.

• Release the Kraken! Throw.

Behold! The entire default area is now a yellow sea of pain. It's beautiful.

The A Restaurant Sniper: For the Paranoid Perfectionist

Think you're safe in A Main? What if they flank? WHAT IF THEY RUSH? Calm down. Retreat to the holy corner in A Restaurant. From here, you are untouchable. An enemy pushing you is committing tactical suicide.

• Position: Cower in the corner shown. It's not cowering, it's... tactical cowering.

• Aim: Gaze upon the damaged structure above. Find the specific, crumbled bit shown in the image. That is your target. That is your destiny.

• Execute: Align. Breathe. Throw.

Once again, default is cleansed with fire... or, you know, nanobots.

The Spawn Sanctum: The Ultimate Safe Space

You want to be safe? I'll show you safe. How about being in your SPAWN while your nanoswarm wins the round on the other side of the map? This isn't just safe; it's arrogant. And I love it. This spot is technically in A Restaurant, near the stairs and that funky octopus statue.

• Position: Back yourself into the octopus. Become one with the cephalopod.

• Aim: Equip your nade. See those two little white squares above the mouse icons? Align the LEFT square perfectly with the edge of the brick wall.

• Double-Check: The bottom of your ability icons should line up with the bottom of that wall section. Precision is key!

Throw, and then maybe do a little dance. You've earned it.

The Mid Maestro: Controlling the Map's Heart

Pearl is all about Mid control in 2026, right? So what if your team plants A default while you're holding Mid? You can STILL contribute the killing blow. Feel the power of map-wide influence!

• Position: Slink into the corner near Defender Side Water.

• Aim: Look up. See that lamp? Align the white line on the RIGHT side of your HUD directly with that lamp. It's that simple.

Your swarm will land right in front of the hut, covering the spike perfectly. You're not just a player; you're a strategist.

My Secret Arsenal for the Dugout Plant

Sometimes default is too mainstream. Sometimes you plant in the Dugout. Fear not, for I have lineups that turn that corner into a coffin.

The A Main Roof-Piercer

They think the roof protects them in Dugout. How adorable. This lineup from A Main proves them wrong.

• Position: CROUCH behind the wooden box. Align with the grey stripe. This is a sneaky one.

• Aim: Point your crosshair at the very specific part of the box shown. It's a tiny detail, but destiny hangs on tiny details.

The nanobots rain down, covering a huge portion of the Dugout. Their safe corner is now a death trap.

The Mid Control Duo (Pick Your Poison)

Option 1: The Classic Waterway

From the same Mid water area, you have choices. This first one is clean and direct.

• Position: The corner in the passageway near Defender Side Water.

• Aim: Align the white line on the right side of your HUD with the corner of the roof in front of you. Throw.

Defuse? More like refuse to stand in that mess.

Option 2: The Enhanced Coverage

This is my personal favorite. It blankets the ENTIRE Dugout. Remembering it makes you feel smart.

• Position: Same general area.

• Aim, Method A: See the little line between your Swarm Grenade and Alarm Bot icons? Align it with the specific part of the railing shown.

• Aim, Method B (Easier): Equip your nade. See the two white squares above the mouse icons? Align the RIGHT square with the FOURTH railing pole from the right.

This isn't just a lineup; it's a statement. "This entire zone is mine."

How I Wield This Power Without Becoming a Lineup Zombie

Look, these lineups are cracked. In a 1v1, they are almost a guaranteed win if you're hidden. The enemy is sweating on the spike, and you're casually throwing world-ending technology from another zip code. It's the ultimate psychological warfare.

But let me be clear: Lineups alone do not make a Radiant player. They are a powerful tool in a vast arsenal. Becoming obsessed with them is like a chef who only knows how to use salt. You need the whole spice rack!

While you're learning to bend space with Killjoy, NEVER forget the fundamentals that actually win games:

• 🗣️ Communication: Calling out my lineups? "Spike is safe, I'm nading from spawn." Team morale goes through the roof.

• 🎯 Aim Training: What if you miss the lineup? You better hit the shot!

• 🛡️ Defensive Setups: Killjoy's true home. My lockdown post-plant is legendary because my defense is ironclad.

• ⚔️ Attack/Defense Strategies: Knowing WHEN to use a lineup is more important than knowing HOW. Is your team alive to cover you? Is the enemy likely to push? Think!

Mastering these Killjoy lineups on Pearl A Site transformed me. It gave me a secret weapon, a clutch option, and a ton of style points. It's 2026, and the game has evolved. You can either evolve with it, learning tools like this, or you can be the one dying to my nanoswarms from three continents away. The choice is yours. Now go practice, and become inevitable. 💥
