Harbor confirmed to be the next Valorant agent to get a rework

What sets Valorant apart from most other games is that its roster of playable agents is constantly evolving. From buffs to nerfs and even occasional reworks, every agent has a team working behind them to ensure they’re completely polished.

According to a Riot Games representative, during the 2025 Champions upper bracket final, Harbor will be the next agent to get a rework. Considering Harbor was already one of the least-picked agents in the game, it makes sense that he’d be the first agent to get this treatment in a while.

Here’s everything we know about the Valorant ^[1] agent Harbor getting a rework, including when you can expect it.

What rework will Harbor get in Valorant

The Riot Games team didn’t specify what reworks players can expect from Harbor, but that doesn’t stop players from speculating. For starters, the agent has already always been a double-edged sword because of how his abilities work. While walking through his water walls slows the enemies, it does the same for allies. 

All of this agent’s non-ult abilities are smokes or walls, which means he lacks something that isn’t just blocking or slowing. For example, Clove can overheal and speed her movement, while Omen has his flash and teleport. His abilities also constantly telegraph his position, giving enemies valuable information on his whereabouts.

To ensure players actually have an incentive to play Harbor, Riot Games could opt to give the agent utility beyond just smokes and walls. Maybe a stun, pull, or even a silence that disrupts the enemy’s offense. Alternatively, the developer could also reduce the costs of the agent’s abilities and ultimate, letting Harbor use them more often.

Then, there’s his ultimate. Considering Harbor’s kit revolves highly around his ultimate, it’s natural that the developer will want to rework that. This can be made by making the ult more flexible as to where Harbor can use it, or something straightforward like making it so it doesn’t affect allies or has a lower cose.

When will the Harbor rework happen in Valorant?

It’s unknown when exactly the Harbor rework is slated to hit Valorant. However, it’ll happen alongside the end-of-year 11.10 patch, so there’s a good chance that players can expect the patch to hit the game in December.
