Who Is The Agent Clove in VALORANT?
Clove is the first non-binary agent in VALORANT. Their origins are from the country of Scotland. According to the in-game lore, they are known as a troublemaker who makes mischief for enemies in both the heat of combat and the cold of death. Clove’s abilities were first on display for fans during the VCT Masters Madrid. During the showcase match, fans could get their first look at all the abilities of Clove in the game.
VALORANT Clove: Complete List of Abilities
Ruse
This is the unique ability of Clove. Clove will have 2 smokes available at all times which are rechargeable, similar to the likes of Omen. Each smoke will last for a maximum of 13 seconds. This would make it the shortest smoke in the game. There is a cooldown of over 30 seconds for each smoke.
The unique aspect of this ability, though, is that Clove can even use it after death. From the point of their death, Clove can place smokes in a given radius from their body.
Meddle
This is a throwable fragment similar to a Viper’s Snakebite. Opponents in the line of sight will have a temporary decay of over 90 health points. This decay will last for a total of three seconds.
Pick-me-up
This ability can be activated only after killing an enemy. Once the enemy is killed, the player can activate this ability to gain a form of movement boost as well as temporary health. Clove can get healed to a total of 150 health points.
(X / ULT) Not Dead Yet

Once resurrected, clove will be in a dismissed form similar to that of Reyna. Following this, Clove must earn a kill or a damaging assist within 12 seconds to gain back their life.
What is the Clove Release Date in VALORANT?
Clove will be launching into VALORANT on March 26 worldwide.
