VALORANT's Agent roster continues to grow with the introduction of Clove, a Scottish Controller who makes mischief for enemies in the heat of battle to keep them guessing. 

The game has continued to grow since its mid-2020 launch, with Clove being the 25th Agent to join the line-up. The release date of Clove is only around the corner, so to prepare, you may want to learn more about their abilities and cosmetics.

All Clove abilities & how to use them

(E) Ruse - Equip to view the battlefield. Fire to set the locations where Clove's clouds will settle. Alt-Fire to confirm, launching clouds that block vision in the chosen areas. Clove can use this ability after death.

(Q) Meddle - Equip a fragment of immortality essence. Fire to throw the fragment, which erupts after a short delay and temporarily decays all targets caught inside.

(C) Pick-me-up - Instantly absorb the life force of a fallen enemy that Clove damaged or killed, gaining haste and temporary health.

(X/ULT) Not Dead Yet - After dying, Activate to resurrect. Once resurrected, Clove must earn a kill or damaging assist within a set time or they will die.

As a Controller, Clove's kit is good for setting the tempo of play. The E is great for blocking off sight lines to close down Spike sites, while Q can crowd control enemies to stop them from rushing. 

A unique aspect of their kit compared to most Controllers is how it facilitates aggressive play with the C and X abilities, meaning if you can hit your shots as well as support your team, you'll be a massive advantage in any game.
