Harbor is an exciting addition to the controller category of agents in VALORANT, with the ability to bend water to his will and utility that lets him place walls and cover at a fast rate. This kit makes him perfect for anchoring fast executes on the attacker side, but there’s a considerable flaw to think about.
According to Sentinels’ VALORANT analyst Drew “DrewSpark” Spark-Whitworth, Harbor’s biggest issue is that “he’s unable to use any of his utility without giving away information,” making him more comparable to an initiator that excels in making small, quick plays rather than full site executes. He says this causes “inflexibility on attack” and makes Harbor “a weak anchor” when it comes to defending sites or holding down post-plants.
