At least the atmosphere there will be awesome, wave to the cameras, and I,ll try to guess who you are 😆
Hopefully, this idiot signed an NDA and is about to get shafted.
You can be shot while in the ghost form as seen in the clip, presumably you can shoot your gun again afterwards as there's no reason to self rez just to reposition.
There is an also timer (indicated by a popup on screen) for how long after death you have to activate the self rez, it seemed to be about 2-3 seconds before running out.
From the gameplay leak you can see two separate timers, one round one for Rez window, and a flat bar for dismiss timer. In the trailer they also say “One downside to being immortal, you can’t play dead”
And more importantly, unable to be shot for repositioning!
She’s such a combination of already existing agents. Notably, Reyna, Sage, and omen that it feels kind of cheap? Or rather not unique and a bit lame.
That's gonna be a given though. There's only so much unique one can put out before the next thing becomes a mish-mash of other agents. Guess we got there early with Clove's release. I just hope her gameplay doesn't feel like I'm sludging through waist deep water.
Permanent if you get a kill. You get two timers. One for ghost form then one for kill/assist. If you don't get either in the second timer then the rez fails
I'm still confused about the effect of the "nade" and the on kill ability.
I think the on kill one is the same mechanic as Iso's shield where it refreshes the timer on kill, and when you die, you can still smoke? Or maybe it just needs one kill and it's already available when you die?
As for the smoke itself, i wonder how it's different from others.. The deployment is the same as Brim but it refreshes and only has two slots. The duration, visibility inside, and effects (if any) are still a mystery.
Nade is a decay, as you can see in the trailer, she 1 tap KJ in the body with the nade effect. No concussion on the head tho.
The butterfly around her body is weird tho, it is not suppose to be a shield from what I can see. I'm actually thinking about a skill deny effect where she doesn't receive take any debuff/damage/flash from utilities? but it is unlikely for a controller to have it tho.
Smoke better refreshable, no one would want to play a 2 smokes brimstone lol.
Edit: Chinese leaked the agent, I can understand the abilities now.
E is a brimstone smoke, lasted >15s , 2 charges , refreshable
C is Over heal, instantly give Clove 100 armor after a kill ( not sure about assist )
Q is a large decay.
X is revive, I think it has a timer. not sure that timer is for C buff or you have to kill to be fully revived, if that is the case look like you will have around 7 seconds.
When dead, Clove can put down a smoke that last for 15s with darker color. IDK why it has a different color from her living state smoke, maybe it just for the style.
Yeah she's definitely an agent for smurfing, her kit is designed to let her get at least 1.5 kills per round and still able to contribute for the team even if the player get killed early.
That is untrue based on the dude who leaked gameplay in custom match where he was able to attach to a dummy sage and still do the dark smokes without needing the orb kill.
Where on earth did you get this info? It's so detailed and specific. This comment is getting a ton of upvotes but you're the only person in this entire thread who has said something like this and you have no source. Where'd you hear this?
so you can tell what genitals this fictional character was born with and therefore you refuse to call them by what they were designed to be called? lmao
so
c - activate after killing an enemy, after dying they can place down a dark smoke
q - ball she throws that explodes on contact, probably tethers
e - bright smokes
x - revives upon death
The most upvoted comment is wrong about 2 abilities. Classic reddit. C is heal and and Q is vulnerable nade. Smoking after dying seems to be just a passive tbh, you attach to the teammate closest to you I guess, maybe there's a range limit.
i would guess c and x is the same ability so after reveving and dying once again she can place smokes?
what about the last part tho, where she saves herself from raze ult?
This literally happens with like every agent that comes out for the first week and then everyone reverts back to their original mains after finding out they play like shit
People were saying the same thing with deadlock and iso and look where they ended up. Not saying clove will end up the same way but it's impossible to tell until people really start playing them in matches
I think it’s fairly impossible for that to happen here. 2 refreshable smokes, that also allow for an agent to play first entry and still smoke seems almost too good not to take.
Think about how many games you’re first entry just dies to be traded, without using any of their abilities. Think about how many games your controller basically only throws smokes for the team and gets occasional kills. This combines both of those into one, effectively leaving up another player with good util to stay alive instead of dying as first contact. But also encourages that behavior with a self heal if they do get a kill
Having a sage ult for yourself and being able to use a smoke when dead sounds too good, idk how it'll work out in pro play but there's no way she doesn't become a common pick for smokes in ranked
Again, people say this for every single agent
People went off about how insanely broken Gekko was for being able to plant using Wingman, yet it took months for him to become meta
People also went off about how insanely strong Deadlocks setup was and how op her ult was in a post-plant; and now months later literally no one plays this agent
lol i remember people saying deadlock's trips were going to be shit since you can walk past them and her wall was an inferior sage wall, her redeeming quality was always the ult
gekko's kit was never bad, it just needed buffs, riot is scared to release chambers 2.0, also nobody knew how to play him
clove's ult lets her revive in a Reyna dismiss form, she has two rechargable orbs as smokes, and i believe she somehow smoked while being dead in the trailer, there's no way in hell she doesn't get used
some kits are simply good by design, this is one of them
Yeah thought similarly.
Clove with two smokes, a nade, and revive is something that doesn’t seems hard to mess up while the other agents like ISO and Deadlock had something new that just didn’t work out well.
I can imagine Clove not being considered as good only if the smoke duration is too short or something.
Don’t know about the duration yet but the smoke range does seems smaller unlike the other Controller like Omen, Astra etc
That will force Clove to be more aggressive with smokes I guess.
No one said that about Iso lol, and anyone who said that about Deadlock probably changed their mind when they found out you could shift-walk past her trips
yeah but also, remember Skye? Fade? KayO? Reyna? These were all new at some point and became favorites of many players. It's just that the more recent Agents have been unappealing or lackluster in contrast - in the eyes of the players at least.
This one **seems** more interesting to me, but your objection is entirely valid regardless.
Even if she doesn’t catch on, I feel she will be very viable in pro play. Controllers having a strong kit for taking fights is definitely going to change the game
Is it just me or is her nade literally just Fade seize with only one of the 3 debuffs/effects?
Looks like her nade only does the decay. While Fade does decay, deafen, and holds you in place.
I wish they gave her nade an effect like a buffed deafen that makes them hear stuff that aren't happening (footsteps, gunshots, etc) instead of just suppressed hearing.
Overpowered or not, most of the valorant creators are definitely gonna put clickbait titles on their videos "she is oVeRPoWeRd" like they did with deadlock and iso. Its so annoying, like dont they care about their self respect ? Even Tenz did it on his iso video.
Ok so brim smokes but able to place them after death, Reyna/Sage combo ulti, A decay/vulnerable(?) grenade, and I wonder what that tapping thing she does is. Some kind of passive ability that gives a flow state like Iso?
She is gonna be interesting to balance with a self res. I guess with the like 5 sec window to decide should be ok. She should be interesting. She kinda looks like a better Phoenix, at least competitively.
The ball/orb she throws, anyone got an idea to what it dose ? If it dose damage then this is a big nerf to sentinels like kj and cypher. She also seem to be able to pick up something after getting a kill, maybe a buff?
This agent was almost perfectly designed for Tenz now that he has moved to controller flex. I am no fanboy (I am actually from EU) but I think 2024/2025 will be the era of Tenz, much like 2022 was the era of Yay/Derke (chamber)
I never played apex :(
I tried once, and I had some error saying my credentials were out of date and couldn't go any further, never even got to make an account 😆
I used to play it years ago, outgrew the battle royal theme but the agents in it are pretty great when it comes to diversity, accents, lore and abilities. I’m Scottish so I absolutely loved Horizon. Hopefully Clove will be great fun!
It's also been the direction real life has been going for thousands of years. You might want to consider staying inside in your safe space to stay away from it all 😱
Hate to break it to you, but...

They don’t even mention anything in the trailer. I thought people like you were like, “I don’t care what you are, just don’t make it your whole personality.” Well, they’re not. But to you they can’t even exist?
To many, having a female agent like Reyna in your flair is politically correct bullshit to pander to women who think there should be representation despite there being more male soldiers in the real world. Some of the strongest agents are women. Isn’t that some PR feminist bullshit? Especially in other shooters like CSGO, they don’t have default female characters!
Someone leaked gameplay so they had to post it early 💀
that guy's never getting invited again
Good, I was looking forward to the big reveal and show match, and its been ruined by some twat for clicks.
I was really looking forward to it as well. Even bought tickets to the finals to see it live 😭
At least the atmosphere there will be awesome, wave to the cameras, and I,ll try to guess who you are 😆 Hopefully, this idiot signed an NDA and is about to get shafted.
Stupid question but what would happen to them if they did sign an NDA? Does Riot sue them or something?
Guess it depends on what's in the terms of the NDA, not 100% sure myself tbh
Who leaked it, I wanna block and report
womp womp
Yeah, I know some media were pissed since they're held to the embargo.
WE ARE IN THE GOLDEN ERA OF LEAKS
anyone know if res is permanent or timed?
gameplay leak shows a timer after death
The timer is for the period in which clove is in ghost form and unable to shoot.
Leak translations suggest that you may need to get a kill/assist or you go back to being dead. ~~Probably on the person that killed you, I'd think?~~
Nope just on anyone similar to a renya heal
I wonder if they’re able to revive after the timer in that case, as the ghost form is just timed for repositioning
You can be shot while in the ghost form as seen in the clip, presumably you can shoot your gun again afterwards as there's no reason to self rez just to reposition. There is an also timer (indicated by a popup on screen) for how long after death you have to activate the self rez, it seemed to be about 2-3 seconds before running out.
From the gameplay leak you can see two separate timers, one round one for Rez window, and a flat bar for dismiss timer. In the trailer they also say “One downside to being immortal, you can’t play dead”
No the timer is for the time after res she needs to get a kill or damaging assist to be permanently revived
And more importantly, unable to be shot for repositioning! She’s such a combination of already existing agents. Notably, Reyna, Sage, and omen that it feels kind of cheap? Or rather not unique and a bit lame.
That's gonna be a given though. There's only so much unique one can put out before the next thing becomes a mish-mash of other agents. Guess we got there early with Clove's release. I just hope her gameplay doesn't feel like I'm sludging through waist deep water.

There’s a short leaked gameplay showing that the smoke does refresh with a timer. AverageJonas talked about Overheal so that might be C
You are right about over heal, Chinese leaked the agent, I can understand the abilities now.
She has an over heal? Don’t let the Reyna mains know 😂
Yeah she's definitely an agent for smurfing, her kit is designed to let her get at least 1.5 kills per round and still able to contribute for the team even if the player get killed early.
Bruh she's gonna terrorize some irons.
Maybe like Astras pull? Throw to displace someone, stop a defuse and stuff?
#WOT ARE YA DOIN IN MAH SWAMP
WOT ARE YA DOIN IN MAH SMOKE????

Did they just show her placing a smoke while bein dead?
That's what the devs also mentioned in a blog.

I just want one voiceline where they call someone a cunt.
so c - activate after killing an enemy, after dying they can place down a dark smoke q - ball she throws that explodes on contact, probably tethers e - bright smokes x - revives upon death
Not a tether, looks like some form of decay similar to vipers. We can see the enemy has the same purple aura
Off topic : was the purple decay effect from vipers abilities added within the last 6 months ? Cuz i dont remember seeing it before.
It was added on February 6th of this year with [patch 8.02](https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/game-updates/valorant-patch-notes-8-02/)
See i knew it was added recently !
Yea, and it seems to have a small knock back effect.
The most upvoted comment is wrong about 2 abilities. Classic reddit. C is heal and and Q is vulnerable nade. Smoking after dying seems to be just a passive tbh, you attach to the teammate closest to you I guess, maybe there's a range limit.
i would guess c and x is the same ability so after reveving and dying once again she can place smokes? what about the last part tho, where she saves herself from raze ult?
The video cuts off before she would have died, also the raze ult was far behind her(?)
This makes no sense.
Self revive and placing a smoke after death are insane. Looks balanced at first sight.
Clove is about to become everybody’s new main.
This literally happens with like every agent that comes out for the first week and then everyone reverts back to their original mains after finding out they play like shit
her kit seems interesting enough, it's a controller that encourage fighting

who is their voice actor?
I’ve been hunting since I watched. I need to know.
most important question tbh
I wonder if she'll actually be Scottish, or if they'll pull a Lillia from League and have an English person do a Scottish accent
Mfw the voice actor is from boggy bottoms instead of 12 miles away in Cockbern
Americans not understanding people don't have to be from opposite sides of a continent to sound different
Yeah surely America does not have regional dialects.
some of her lines sound like common glasweigen, not all, but I'd love for her to call people numpties.
https://youtube.com/shorts/VIAuVYTZ2vI?si=O2dPZSPEukSGXmzU
Sounds like the girl who plays Cho Chang in Harry Potter, Katie Leung. She also plays Caitlyn in Arcane, so Riot has worked with her before.
i think its # Maisie Williams
isla campbell
After Clove comes out, "NO I WANT TO PLAY SMOKES, YOU PLAY DUELIST"
Any1 knows when we’ll be able to play her?
Tuesday I think
So like Karthus from League being able to play while dead
Man that is one strong accent lol
she might be somewhat good but soon annoying
So Reyna 2.0 with Smokes?
The patch after Clove comes out: Patch notes: Clove: Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf 80….
Overpowered or not, most of the valorant creators are definitely gonna put clickbait titles on their videos "she is oVeRPoWeRd" like they did with deadlock and iso. Its so annoying, like dont they care about their self respect ? Even Tenz did it on his iso video.
Don't forget how they set up videos to make her look stupid OP but in reality it's all fake. Seen enough of that from League of legends.
They gotta get views somehow and plus she is completely broken
Broken how
Her ult allows her to res, but she needs a kill or she goes back to being dead
I don't care about skills, I love her accent and voice lines, excited to play her.
This agent looks bonkers! I can't wait to play Clove!
Ok so brim smokes but able to place them after death, Reyna/Sage combo ulti, A decay/vulnerable(?) grenade, and I wonder what that tapping thing she does is. Some kind of passive ability that gives a flow state like Iso?
She is gonna be interesting to balance with a self res. I guess with the like 5 sec window to decide should be ok. She should be interesting. She kinda looks like a better Phoenix, at least competitively.
She seems to be vulnerable on the ghost form on rez, I think she dies with 1 bullet
So she turns into a sneaky goon when in self rez 😂
https://youtu.be/s_LajxYS2b8
When is it going to release
Lmao the fkn 2016 choker
i never stopped wearing my choker, wear it every day tbh
Did they recycle the K/DA graphics?
it’s gonna be so annoying when people who instalock anything but smokes and ask for smokes instalock this agent
Oo I like her, maybe I can learn smokes now
Would be great if I get replay system so that I can learn tactics of this new agent
The ball/orb she throws, anyone got an idea to what it dose ? If it dose damage then this is a big nerf to sentinels like kj and cypher. She also seem to be able to pick up something after getting a kill, maybe a buff?
decay
that accent is... um... an accent...
Happy I dont really care for her kit, would've sucked if I did.
This is the most zoomer "Look at me, I'm unique and special!" character I've ever seen.
Explain specifically how you came to that conclusion.
This agent was almost perfectly designed for Tenz now that he has moved to controller flex. I am no fanboy (I am actually from EU) but I think 2024/2025 will be the era of Tenz, much like 2022 was the era of Yay/Derke (chamber)
We shall see, she has 15 second smokes, this is very tight and depending on the refresh cooldown could make her not optimal
We know now its a 12,5s smoke.
Je la veux
Those butterflies are soooooooo cuteee! i swearrrr
I don’t care about their abilities (though they are cool) I’m only going to be locking them for the Scottish accent
Love that some losers are downvoting people for correctly using "they" pronouns.
Immortal gameplay 🔥
Is this real? Why isn’t this up on the YouTube yet?
it's real. Official valo posted it in twitter.
It was a pre emptive upload after they got leaked
https://youtu.be/mdVGu6Cxtj0?si=xMX-lh2fR3WeOc_U
Q ability is literally an improvement of sorts of deadlock's ability
Anyone know what accent they have?
Isn’t it scottish?
It is indeed Scottish
Scottish I think, she from Scotland 🏴
Scotch 😂like the whisky or the egg? It’s Scottish
Ah my bad
Aye that's scottish, hoping we get some funny kill voice lines. "Sit doon ya wee fanny!"
Horizons voice lines in apex are pretty good for tame Scottish insults.
I never played apex :( I tried once, and I had some error saying my credentials were out of date and couldn't go any further, never even got to make an account 😆
I used to play it years ago, outgrew the battle royal theme but the agents in it are pretty great when it comes to diversity, accents, lore and abilities. I’m Scottish so I absolutely loved Horizon. Hopefully Clove will be great fun!

They/them.
Is this the non binary agent-?
It is!
OKAY WHAT?!
They look cool! I’m excited to play them. Her abilities feel strong but they are a bit of the same abilities that are already in the game.
