Valorant's hero for Episode 5, Act III is a water-bending Controller. From India's coastlands, Harbor uses ancient radianite technology to control water, defending his allies and drowning his foes.
With Harbor's ability Hide Tide, equipped with E, players can draw a wall of water with their cursor. The wall will slow players hit by it. With Cove, equipped with Q, Harbor spawns a sphere of bullet-blocking water. The sphere can be thrown (with the fire button) or underhand thrown (with the alt fire button). The ability Cascade, equipped with C, sends a wave of water rolling forward until stopped by the player. Just like High Tide, players hit with the wave are slowed. Harbor's ult is called Reckoning. After equipping with X, players can summon a geyser pool that will send out waves of watery attacks. Players caught in the area of effect will be concussed.
Included in his contract are three sprays, two player cards, one gun buddy, two titles, the sheriff skin, and the hero himself, of course.
