Lately, every player seems to be engrossed with Valorant’s latest Agent, Harbor. Harbor is Valorant’s 21st Agent and the first Indian Agent in the game. We already know about the type of Agent he is going to be through the official and leaked reveal trailer for the player. Now, Riot Games has finally provided the players with a gameplay video for Harbor to see how this Agent is in action.

Harbor is all set to enter Valorant on October 18, 2022 which also marks the beginning of Episode 5 Act 3. We already knew that he was a Water-Based Controller, but now we know he will use tides to protect his friends and destroy his enemies. As his description states, “This new Controller Agent uses tide and torrent to pummel opponents and shield allies”. So, players will be able to play offence as well as defence through Harbor.
For some reason, not all pro players are ecstatic about the gameplay reveal for Harbor. In their opinion, Harbor is not great as a solo controller. Others feel he has great potential and could be a game changer. Check out how some Valorant Pros have reacted to Harbor’s gameplay reveal below:
Harbor worse than every controller already in the game (when it comes to solo controller) and when it comes to 2x controller-> still worse than viper.

first thoughts is that harbor seems incredibly weird on a practical level
I think the wave ruined his potential to be a good solo controller
he has 3 abilities with 1 charge
His shield bubble can be melted insta
His ult and wall are great tho

harbor seems VERY strong. think he will allow for some insane retakes and defaults/execs more so than any other controller agent
we shall see tho 🤷♂️
