Clove is primarily a Controller; however, they can also support teammates or even specialize as an entry fragger. The abilities allow adding layers of strategy, for both utility and deception. Clove’s Meddle ability acts as an orb that Clove can throw at the enemies. Upon impact, this orb slowly decays the health of all enemies within its radius. It should serve as a deterrent to enemy aggression, enabling Clove’s team to seize control of the now-crowded battlefield. It is perfectly versatile when it comes to the ability to either push enemies backward or throw their position into disarray. One of the most novel abilities of Clove, Ruse blocks enemy vision and causes the adversary concern about his positioning. Clove is able to confuse the enemy with smoke or other energy-based barriers, making it difficult for the enemy to hold critical positions on the map. This ability is also terrific for stalling enemy pushes or acting as a distraction while your team secures key control points. Use Meddle and Ruse in synergy for map control:These two abilities, when combined, deny enemies sightlines and weaken them, thus allowing your team to take the ground well in time. Sticking to the center of the map: Since Ruse has a relatively short range, Clove players should generally be playing towards the center so they can assist their team wherever needed. Speed and vision-blocking may help your team gain map control quicker. Use Ruse for entry: Upon entering a site, Ruse should obscure vision and disrupt enemy positions. Thereby ensuring your team stands a better chance of site control before any enemies can react. Clove introduces a casual, yet unique approach to Valorant, mixing mischief and strategy into their controller abilities. Be it an enemy rush being thwarted or an unsuspecting attempt for map control, Clove packs abilities that hamper enemy positioning while bringing a great deal of support to his team. Mastering the character relies on skillful timing with, and synergy between, Meddle, Ruse, and Pick Me Up to create dynamic advantages that keep the enemy guessing.
