Valorant is famous for its diverse agent roster. Right now, the game features a total of 25 agents (one being unknown). All these agents are scattered among four different categories: Initiators, Duelists, Controllers, and Sentinels.

All these categories have different abilities and specific roles in the game. For example, Duelists are specialists in taking early frags, whereas Controllers are mainly smokers. However, there is a Controller in the game who is quite underrated, and fans want him to be in the limelight.

Harbor is the first Indian agent in Valorant. Initially known as Varun Batra, he is the fifth Controller to join the protocol. This agent has various abilities, from smoking to slowing down enemies and blocking visions. However, this Indian agent has always been overshadowed in the crowd of Brimstone, Viper, Omen, and many more.

That’s why, to make the agent more appealing, a fan has asked Riot to add some buffs to it. They’ve stated that the developers should buff his cascade effect in such a way that whenever enemies cross the high tides, their vision gets blurred very briefly.

The fan also threw a logic, saying that when water gets on our faces, we wipe them, and until that, our vision gets blurred. Similarly, the Indian Controller’s water tides should have this effect as well.

There are other suggestions as well. For example, one fan wants to remove the slow effect for the teammates. If anyone crosses this Controller’s wall, be it enemies or teammates, they get slowed. Also, they think players in lower ranks don’t know how to use his ult.

Another fan has suggested an effective buff in the Indian Controller’s kit. In this buffed ability, enemies can’t see from where the wall has been cast, and it will rise suddenly from the ground. This updated utility can be used as a flash as well.

There have been several harsh nerfs on many agents in the game. We hope Riot pays heed to these suggestions and brings a buff to this agent.

All the Abilities of the Controller Agent

Harbor is basically a Controller. So, it’s quite natural that this agent has smoke and vision-blocking abilities along with some defensive ones. First up, we have his cascade ability, in which the agent sends a wall of water forward through the walls, which can be stopped at a designated place. Upon getting in contact, players get 30% slowed.

Another basic ability of the agent is Cove. It’s mainly the smoke of Harbor. He equips a sphere of shielding water and throws it anywhere to summon it. The most interesting part is that this smoke is a bit different from other Controllers’ smokes, as Cove blocks bullets from outside and has an HP of 500. So, this smoke is brilliant while planting or defusing.

His signature ability is the High Tide. In this ability, the agent sends a wall of water forward along the ground, and the direction of the water can be guided as well according to your crosshair, passing through any object.

Last but not least is the ultimate ability, Recognizing. With this ability, the agent from Mumbai can summon a geyser pool on the ground. After that, each targeted enemy player will be hit by successive geyser strikes, which will make them concussed for 2 seconds.
