Agent 21 leaks, rumors, and teasers recap
One of the first Agent 21 teasers was a short clip shared on Valorant’s social media channels. It showed Astra and Killjoy trying to locate someone in Delhi, India, utilizing Astra’s Radiant-infused astral powers to do so. A few days later, Valorant’s Twitter account tweeted ‘See you soon’ in Hindi to hint at the origin of the upcoming Agent 21. At this point, many believed that the new Agent could arrive with the next Act.
A few days ago, Riot Games shared more footage on the upcoming Agent in action to show the player base what they are all about. So far, the community believed that the future Controller would have water-bending powers, and apparently, they were not wrong. In one of the most recent teasers, an aspiring content creator was shown streaming a high-speed chase to his 13 followers. Seconds before the chase, the water in the glass adjacent to the content creator begins to levitate, indicating the new Agent’s ability.
This information suggested that the community was on the right track to assume that the next Agent would indeed possess the ability to command water. Moreover, with Episode 5 Act 2 reaching its end and an overall increase in official teasers from Riot, many correctly guessed that the new Agent would make their appearance in the upcoming Act 3.
Harbor
Previous leaks barely showed Agent 21; however, the community managed to figure out his role as a Controller. So, after much anticipation from Valorant gamers eager to see a new character, the long-awaited reveal finally dropped! The image shows Agent 21 on a chopper, surrounded by water and protected by an aquatic shield. Thanks to this information, the community finally confirmed that Agent 21 can indeed harness water to do his bidding.
With this image and a few past leaks, most of the past speculation about Agent 21 appears valid. Furthermore, the image suggests that the Agent’s name will be Harbor, further supporting the water-bending claim. All information points to Harbor’s possible reveal at the start of Episode 5, Act 3. Releasing Harbor with Act 3 would be a perfect play to quench the
thirst of the player base, who received a last new Agent back in April and a Controller in March of 2021.
Abilities
Like Viper, Harbor will be able to establish control over a sizable area. Furthermore, the newly released image most likely portrays two of his abilities. Similar to Viper’s wall of toxic gas, one Harbor’s ability appears to be an impenetrable water barrier, while the other resembles smoke. As you may have already concluded, Harbor’s kit will most likely take inspiration from Viper’s but with a bit more potency. In addition, many believe that Harbor will significantly impact the current meta.
Pearl & Harbor?
Pearl, the most recent map added to Valorant, is notoriously difficult to dominate, as most players are already well aware. Only Viper and Astra have shown themselves capable of effectively controlling the underwater representation of Omega Earth. Players are keeping their fingers crossed that Batra’s entrance, which is planned for the next Act, would make the Controller meta on Pearl more intuitive.
Viper is currently the most potent Controller in Valorant, and most players agree that she can be used well across a variety of different maps. However, it is anticipated that Harbor would steal some of Viper’s spotlight and prove himself to be a worthy Controller alongside her. Moreover, Harbor being the first noteworthy reveal after the map Pearl, hints at Pearl Harbor reference, suggesting the Agent will most likely demonstrate significant strength on that map in particular.
