Harbor abilities in Valorant
As mentioned above, just like other Valorant controllers, Harbor's abilities allow him to block the enemy's vision. By smoking off dangerous angles, Harbor makes it much easier for his team to take control of zones on the map.
Mastering his abilities can win you plenty of rounds, and even help you rank up. So, let's check out all of Harbor's abilities down below.
High Tide (E)
High Tide is Harbor's signature ability. Harbor equips a wall of water and uses the fire button to send it in a forward line. He can control the wall direction by holding the fire button and moving his crosshair. It goes through every material on the map.
This ability also significantly slows enemies that are hit by it. This means that opponents will think twice before going through the wall. It also makes it very hard for opponents to retake a bombsite when High Tide is up.
Cove (Q)
With this ability, Harbor equips a sphere of water and uses the fire button to throw it. Once it hits the ground, Cove creates a destructible water shield, that blocks bullets. This shield has 500 hp.
It's a great ability to protect your teammates when they are planting. Since it blocks some bullets, it gives your teammate time to plant and reposition.
Cascade (C)
Harbor equips a wave of water and then uses the fire button to send the wave rolling forward through walls. He can then re-use it to stop the wave.
Reckoning (X)
Harbor equips his artefact, and uses the fire button to create a pool on the ground. This pool has a range of 21.2 meters and will target opponent players in that area with geyser strikes. Enemies that are hit by one of the three strikes will be concussed for three seconds.
Reckoning is a mixture of Breach and Killjoy ultimate, with Astra concussion ability. It can be used to force enemies out of a bombsite, allowing your teammates to take control of it while facing no resistance.
