While Riot Games has revealed a few details about the controller agent already, we now have a good idea of how their abilities will look thanks to a series of new leaks. Besides several leaks indicating the appearance, gender, and ability names of VALORANT's Agent 25, on March 19, a video featuring descriptions and looks of their abilities surfaced online. Supposedly named Clove, they will wield the following abilities:\u00a0 Smokes that muffle the audio of anyone holding inside it. A bag-like resurrection point that allies can use to bring Clove back after her death.\u00a0 A Radiant ability that can disrupt enemy powers, possibly like KAY\/O\u2019s knife. Ultimate ability that shows several butterflies, but not what they do. Another leak indicated the names and icons of Clove\u2019s abilities. If we match up the names with the descriptions above, here\u2019s what they should look like: C: Pick Me Up (resurrection) Q: Meddle (power-disabling radiant ability) E: Ruse (deafening smokes) X: Flight Path (several butterflies inflicting an unknown effect) While the video showcases the abilities, many players pointed out it could be fake. But those descriptions don't sound odd enough to be completely dismissed. The leaked ability descriptions, however, sound slightly overpowered and not similar to what our existing controllers offer. Even if it's a fan theory, the video quotes some of our existing VALORANT agent\u2019s voice lines referring to the new agent and theorizes the abilities based on it. For example, Fade refers to Agent 25 with \u201cbright lights starting around the dim room, silenced gun fire and hundreds of butterflies\u201d in a voicemail to Brimstone. One of Cypher\u2019s voice lines talks about how they leave behind an \u201cempty body bag,\u201d while Phoenix refers to them being a great duo with both \u201ccoming back to life.\u201d\u00a0 Earlier this month, Riot informed us that Agent 25 will introduce a fresh way to play controllers in VALORANT, where \u201cdropping smokes takes on a new life.\u201d Considering all this, I can see the deafening smokes and resurrection abilities happening, although it\u2019s better to take it as just a leak and not official information.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Omen_valorant-1-e1709317871309.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1170407"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1170407"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1170407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1170996,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1170407\/revisions\/1170996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/912865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1170407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1170407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1170407"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1170407"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1170407"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1170407"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1170407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
