Valorant has introduced a new agent Clove, the indomitable force from Scotland, to the game. With the curtains closing on the intense showdown of VCT 2024: Masters Madrid and the dawn of Valorant Patch 8.05, players worldwide brace for the arrival of this formidable Controller.

Clove's essence embodies the very concept of defying mortality, introducing a gameplay experience tethered to the notion of "a beautiful death." Much akin to Phoenix, Clove possesses the remarkable ability to resurrect herself upon meeting demise, ensuring an ongoing presence on the battlefield that keeps adversaries on their toes.

As Riot propagates Patch 8.05 across all regions, enthusiasts eagerly await the chance to wield the powers of this enigmatic agent. Acquiring Clove is within reach, either through the accumulation of 200,000 XP during the recruitment event or the expenditure of 1,000 VP for instantaneous recruitment. Following the culmination of the recruitment event, players can secure her services with 8,000 KC.

Emerging as Agent Number 24, Clove, the Scottish Troublemaker, disrupts the status quo with her mischievous tactics. Her portrayal in Valorant's agent roster depicts her as a relentless provocateur, capable of sowing chaos amidst adversaries, even from beyond the clutches of death.

Intriguingly, Clove's arsenal comprises abilities that challenge the very fabric of mortality itself:

  • Ruse (E): Manipulate the battlefield by deploying clouds to obstruct vision, even in the throes of death.
  • Meddle (Q): Unleash fragments of immortality essence to momentarily incapacitate all caught within its radius.
  • Pick-me-up (C): Seize the life force of fallen adversaries, granting temporary health and hastening her movements.
  • Not Dead Yet (X): Defy mortality itself by resurrecting upon death, with the condition to secure a kill or assist to maintain her foothold in the realm of the living.

In the words of game designer Dan "penguin" Hardison, Clove's ultimate ability transcends mere survival, often necessitating strategic employment to secure victory, irrespective of the odds.

With Clove's arrival, Valorant ushers in a new era of gameplay dynamics, where mortality is but a fleeting notion in the face of unyielding determination. Brace yourselves, for the Scottish Troublemaker's presence promises to leave an indelible mark on the annals of Valorant history.
