It’s been six months since the launch of Fade, but at last, there’s a new Agent release to get excited about. Riot Games has today revealed the very first gameplay reveal for Harbor, showcasing the Indian controller’s water-themed abilities in action.
Here’s an overview of all the abilities if you haven’t yet read Twinfinite’s detailed article that compiles everything there is to know about Harbor:
- High Tide (E) – EQUIP a wall of water. FIRE to send the water forward along the ground. HOLD FIRE to guide the water in the direction of your crosshair, passing through the world, spawning a wall along the water’s path. ALT FIRE while bending to stop the water early. Players hit are SLOWED.
- Cove (Q) – EQUIP a sphere of shielding water. FIRE to throw. ALT FIRE to underhand throw. Upon impacting the ground, spawn a water shield that blocks bullets.
- Cascade (C) – EQUIP a wave of water. FIRE to send the wave rolling forward and through walls. RE-USE to stop the wave from moving further. Players hit are SLOWED.
- Reckoning (X) – EQUIP the full power of your Artifact. FIRE to summon a geyser pool on the ground. Enemy players in the area are targeted by successive geyser strikes. Players caught within a strike are CONCUSSED.
Alexander Mistakidis, Designer at Riot Games commented on the goals when designing Harbor:
“We set out to create a Controller that didn’t have to go off into another world or look at a map to place their vision block. We also wanted to create an Agent that could compete with Viper on the maps where she is almost exclusively played.”
