Clove, for example, is being nerfed. Their Pick-Me-Up is having its cost increased from 100 to 200, it will last just eight seconds instead of ten, and its damaging assist time to activate has gone from ten seconds to six.

Raze is another character who has been nerfed. Her Blast Pack has been looked at and her satchels no longer explode for damage/knockback upon opponent destruction.

Reyna, meanwhile, is getting buffs and nerfs as part of Valorant update 8.11. In one big change, Empress no longer has a timer and is permanent until Reyna is killed or the round ends.
