Valorant continues to add in new heroes with each new big act and that isn’t changing as Harbor is arriving on the scene. But, when can you expect the Valorant Habor release date to be and what are his abilities?

Harbor brings his looks and water-based abilities to the game using a varied mix of powers to both act as a shield and support and a damage dealer. This makes him a pretty unique hero in Riot’s shooter and one that definitely will shake up the meta and Valorant agent tier list upon his arrival.

But, to find out what those abilities are in-game and when the Valorant Harbor release date is, read on below.

Valorant Harbor release date

Harbor will release in Valorant on October 18, 2022. This is also the release date for the next act, Episode 5 Act 3.

Valorant Harbor abilities

Harbor’s Valorant abilities are all based around the manipulation of water. He can summon geysers, water walls, and tidal waves. Here’s a full breakdown of his kit.

  • High Tide (E)

EQUIP a wall of water. FIRE to send the water forward along the ground. HOLD FIRE to guide the water in the direction of your crosshair, passing through the world, spawning a wall along the water’s path. ALT FIRE while bending to stop the water early. Players hit are SLOWED

  • Cove (Q)

EQUIP a sphere of shielding water. FIRE to throw. ALT FIRE to underhand throw. Upon impacting the ground, spawn a water shield that blocks bullets.

  • Cascade (C)

EQUIP a wave of water. FIRE to send the wave rolling forward and through walls. RE-USE to stop the wave from moving further. Players hit are SLOWED.

  • Reckoning (X)

EQUIP the full power of your Artifact. FIRE to summon a geyser pool on the ground. Enemy players in the area are targeted by successive geyser strikes. Players caught within a strike are CONCUSSED.

With the Valorant Habor release date and a brief on his abilities, you can get to grips with him super quickly after he makes his arrival on the scene. But, you will also want to make sure you have the best Valorant crosshair setup, so that your gunplay can match your big-brain ability usage.
