When does Clove release?

Clove's showcase during the VCT Madrid show match has players excited about their release in Valorant. According to the officials, Clove will be released alongside the mid-season patch of Episode 8 Act 2 on March 26 or 27, depending on the regions players live in. After their release, they can be unlocked by playing the game or spending 1000 VP.

Clove should shake up this FPS title's meta, as it has been rather stale for several Episodes.

Clove’s abilities in Valorant

Clove is a Controller-type Agent in Valorant, specializing in smoking off the entry points or the crucial angels. Their abilities/skills are listed in the section below:

• Ruse: Upon activation, Clove opens up a window that will allow players to place the smokes, similar to how Brimstone’s smoke works. Additionally, Clove can deploy smoke while they are dead.
• Meddle: Clove can throw a grenade-like projectile that causes decay on the adversaries who get hit by it. The projectile works similarly to Deadlock’s GravNet grenade.
• Pick Me Up: When Clove kills an enemy, they can absorb their life force, which bestows them with a temporary health buff and haste.
• Ultimate: When Clove dies and has their ultimate ready, they can use it to quickly come back to life for a short duration. During this time, if Clove secures a kill or assists, they will fully come back to life like nothing has happened to them. However, if Clove fails to secure a kill or assist during the ultimate timer, they will return to their grave.

Following Clove’s reveal, there is a rumor about an upcoming Valorant map online. As Clove is scheduled to be released in March, players can expect the new map’s launch alongside Episode 8 Act 3.
