New VALORANT Agent Teaser Gives Players a Closer Look
The teaser shows a character with long, light-colored hair standing beneath a pink streetlight. Dark clothing and glowing eyes give the image an eerie feel, while much of the character’s face remains hidden in shadow.
According to new reports, the same character previously appeared near the end of Riot’s September developer update. The latest promotional material accompanies a VALORANT New Agent Pop-Up Café, running in Shanghai from October 13 to 18, with themed activities and information about the upcoming character.
The artwork offers a better look at the design, but it leaves the agent’s gameplay open to speculation.
Hush’s Abilities in VALORANT
Hush’s kit revolves around telekinesis, giving her control over her movement, utility, and other players’ positioning.
X, Suspension: Send out a projectile and steer it using your crosshair. Reactivate the ability or fire again to detonate it, lifting players caught in the area into the air.
Passive, Telekinesis: Interact with switches and pick up dropped weapons or the Spike from an increased distance.
C, Flow: Create an anchor and propel yourself toward it after a short delay. Activating it while airborne briefly suspends Hush in place.
Q, Flashbulb: Throw or prepare a flash. A thrown projectile can be redirected toward your crosshair. It detonates on impact or after a delay, blinding players looking at it.
E, Displacement: Launch a projectile that pulls nearby players toward its center. Players who collide with a surface or another player become concussed. The ability refreshes after two kills.
