Clove's Bio

Clove is a non-binary character that comes from Scotland and belongs to the Controller category. This is the sixth agent that is part of that type after Brimstone, Viper, Omen, Astra, and Harbor.

Clove's Abilities

Just like the rumors pointed out, Clove is the first character in the game that defies death, having the ability to revive themselves if certain conditions are met. If you want to get familiar with their kit, here are their abilities' descriptions and a short demonstration for each one:

• Not Dead Yet (X): Clove defies death by activating their immortality essence. To stabilize their form, they must remove the life energy of an opponent.

• Ruse (E): Clove’s mind projects a view of the battlefield from above. Using their essence, they manifest vision-obscuring clouds that change the flow of battle, even in death.

• Meddle (Q): Clove focuses a fragment of immortality essence that, once thrown, deteriorates the life essence of those hit by the blast.

• Pick-Me-Up (C): Clove absorbs the life energy of a fallen enemy, granting them a moment of increased agility and health.
