Harbor, VALORANT’s Newest Agent, Arrives with Game-Changing Abilities
The highly anticipated arrival of Harbor, the newest agent in Riot’s first-person shooter game VALORANT, is finally here. Scheduled to launch on Tuesday, Oct. 18, Harbor has already sparked excitement among players who have been eagerly dissecting every detail of his abilities.
With his interesting backstory and unique ability kit, Harbor has already made a significant impact on the VALORANT competitive meta.
While fans have been focusing on one particular ability, Harbor’s orb, which creates a bulletproof dome around players, is especially useful for planting the spike. Redditors on the VALORANT subreddit have been actively discussing Harbor, with a recent post revealing how to effectively handle his abilities.
According to the post, it takes approximately 13 bullets from a Phantom or Vandal and 4 AWP shots to break Harbor’s orb, revealing players hiding inside. Additionally, players have discussed how this ability can counter Chamber, as it forces the French agent to waste valuable bullets on destroying the shield.
Furthermore, players have noted that the ability can be utilized for powerful team plays by executing pop flashes. It has been suggested that operators will face significant challenges when dealing with Harbor’s abilities.
During pistol rounds, Harbor’s orb will be especially valuable due to its low damage per shot. Some players even advise not wasting bullets on shooting the orb during these rounds.
Harbor’s abilities in VALORANT are set to significantly impact the meta, requiring high-caliber players to rethink their strategies when facing him.
