The new agent for Valorant is quite skilled and has several tricks up his sleeve. Our information has been broken down into sections for your convenience. See Harbor’s skills, the agent agreement, and more in the table below.
New Indian Agent In Valorant
Valorant is adding an Indian agent as it continues to broaden its inclusive roaster. In-game canon states that Harbor is actually Indian and goes by the name Varun Batra. Batra was betrayed by a senior team member while searching for an artifact in Mumbai on his final mission for Realm, his former employer. This is the very relic from which Harbor, then known as Varun Batra, obtained his water-bending abilities.
Batra’s unlucky teammate reported him to Realm for stealing the relic. After that, Realm started pursuing Batra, intent on stealing his abilities. Batra is rescued from Realm agents during one such encounter by Brimstone, who subsequently invites him to Valorant. Now he’s assisting Valorant Protocol fight Realm and their agents on the other planet as Harbor.

Harbor, according to his backstory, is endowed with special skills that can be used while submerged in water. Being a controller agent, his skills lie more in establishing dominance over a location than in engaging in battle. The following skills are included in his toolkit:
- High Tide
