Sova recon abilities really help to gain information for an upper hand to the team in Valorant, especially on the Sunset map. Here are some good Sova recon setups for A-Site and B-Site that help relay important information and gain the advantage.

Sova’s sunset sniper shots: All about it!

A-site lineups
1) A-lobby to A-Elbow

One of the most important recon lineups on the Sunset map, this dart gives essential intel on enemy positioning at the A-Elbow entry to A-Site. It helps your team to plan an attack and perhaps catch some enemies early in the round.
Steps to follow:

At the start of the round, go to the corner of A-Lobby, near the barrier.
Look straight to the wall of A-Elbow, up to the row of windows at the top.
Align your crosshair with the middle of the second window from the right.
Charge the recon dart fully and shoot.
The dart should bounce once before landing on top of the A-Elbow wall, with an outline of enemies holding angles around this area.
With this launch, you reveal possible threats, helping your team decide on the approach to A-Site.

2) A-Lobby to A-Site
Perfect for gathering vision of A-Site except for A-Alley and for players below the ledge. This information is vital for planning your approach to A-Site after the barrier drops.
Steps to follow:

Once the barrier drops, move to the corner near A-Lobby and position yourself against the wall.
Look towards the wall near A-Elbow, directly in front of you.
Line your crosshair up with the wire, making sure that the first bar charge lines up with the wall.
Fire the recon dart with a single charge.
The dart will fly over the wall onto the A-Site, revealing most of the area except an A-Alley view and any enemies who may be beneath the ledge.
This setup provides critical information about the site, allowing a more confident plan into the site for your team.

B Site Line-Ups:
1) B Main to B Site
This recon lineup is excellent for surety of B-main access and whoever happens to be hiding on B-site: good for information gathering as you go towards site or prep your defensive hold.
Steps to follow:

First, have your team take B-Main, then set up this lineup.
Move to the corner in B-main for a clear line of sight towards B-site entry.
Focus on the B-site entry and find the ledge.
Place your crosshair on the small line near the edge of the ledge.
Using a single charge, fire the recon dart and allow it to soar across B-site, landing on the wall near B-Market. This recon dart will prove especially useful in spotting any enemies by the B-Market or by even being held along a few choice angles, giving you a chance at defeating B-site.

2) B-Lobby to B-Back Site
To really take B-Site during the attacking phase, B-Lobby control is important. This recon dart shows the whole B-Back Site. That helps making tactical decisions in the team's attack based on enemy location.
Steps to follow:

Position yourself by the blue box in B-Lobby for an optimal view of B-Site.
Raise your aim upwards into the sky, aligning your HUD close to the "E" on the ledge.
Fire off a recon dart using two charges to ensure it lands right on the back site.
The dart would fly over B-Site and land close to the B-Back Site to reveal anything present within their ranks. It would really help in scouting out such intel with respect to defensive positions being held in B-Back Site by rivals so that your team can prepare itself with the right information required for either a converged assault or defense.

Once you master these Sova recon lineups on Sunset, you will have gained a toll for your team that improves their chances of winning on both A and B Site. Such moves are vital in pushing an aggressive action or defensive strategy that informs reality into your favor at turn matches.
