If you are wondering who to play her with, here are the best agents to pick if you are teaming with a Clove in your games.\u00a0 Best VALORANT agents to play with Clove Omen (or any controller agent, honestly) Want an aggressive composition without having to pick two duelists? Just pair Omen up with Clove. With Clove\u2019s post-death smokes and fragging potential in the picture, double controller VALORANT team comps should no longer be a taboo in ranked games.\u00a0 Besides having a chance to offer team support after death, Clove\u2019s kit can facilitate Omen to make extraordinary blind-teleport plays of his own. Omen doesn\u2019t need to worry about him dying and leaving their team with no smokes; Clove\u2019s there even if theirs aren't.\u00a0 In fact, you can pair Clove up with almost any controller agent to get similar benefits and outcomes in your ranked matches. For example, Clove\u2019s Meddle ability makes a great combo with Viper\u2019s Snake Bite or Brimstone\u2019s Incendiary.\u00a0 Jett and Raze Clove\u2019s kit is centered around aggressive plays. On offense, they should make the most of it by going in first and making space for their team. While she may kill a couple of enemies along the way, there\u2019s an equal chance of her giving first blood to the enemy team.\u00a0 If they die first, their team should crucially take the trade. I don\u2019t think I need to explain why Jett is the agent for such tasks. As of now, she is the most agile duelist in VALORANT, so pairing her with Clove will definitely be beneficial. With Raze in the picture, you can combine Clove\u2019s Meddle ability with her Paint Shells to deal a deadly blow to your enemies pushing through constricted lanes. Raze is also an agile duelist like Jett and can easily trade Clove or help her take control of space in VALORANT.\u00a0 Sova and Gekko Combine Meddle with Sova\u2019s Shock Bolt or Hunter\u2019s Fury to secure free kills when an opponent makes predictable plays. Sova\u2019s Recon Bolt can also initiate Clove\u2019s aggressive playstyle, setting her up for crucial first bloods.\u00a0 Gekko is an aggressive initiator, perfect for initiating Clove\u2019s playstyle. You can combine Meddle with Gekko\u2019s Mosh Pit to deal lethal or significant damage to enemies holding corners. Chamber Chamber\u2019s Rendezvous is a get-out-of-jail-for-free card, making it one of the best abilities to follow Clove up with if they are running it down into a site. As a pseudo-duelist himself, Chamber can almost always trade Clove and even get out of a mess if needed. Just have Clove serve as a distraction and take down your enemies with your Headhunter or Tour De Force as they focus on the butterfly-wielding troublemaker.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CLOVE-VALORANT.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174817"}],"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=1174817"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174817\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1175875,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174817\/revisions\/1175875"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1174824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1174817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1174817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1174817"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1174817"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1174817"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1174817"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1174817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
