Hush, VALORANT’s 31st agent and a Duelist from Guangdong, China, debuts with a telekinesis-themed kit designed to alter space and retakes, releasing with Patch 13.09.

Her toolkit combines a passive Telekinesis that can pick up weapons and Spike, with a Displacement ability that throws a device to pull enemies to center and concuss on impact, a Flashbulb that redirects flashes toward the crosshair, a Flow dash to anchor and propel her, and an Ultimate Suspension that can levitate and detonate to affect nearby players.

Riot Games released VALORANT Patch 13.09 on October 27, 2026, highlighting Hush as the headline feature and delivering broad changes across agents, items, and abilities.

Bug fixes address issues from Tejo’s Special Delivery, Sova’s Hunter’s Fury visibility, and various minimap and ability visibility bugs during Buy Phase and post-teleport scenarios.

Competitive and store updates note that Hush is the first agent added since Performance Score, with initial uneven scores expected; Korea gains in-game Radianite Points purchases, and balance considerations for VCT 2027 are in flux.

UI and terminology updates rename certain buffs and abilities, with Haste replacing earlier terms and Snapshot becoming Haste for Cypher-related abilities.

Warden receives buffs to recoil and bullet spread to improve controllability and confidence in handling.

Clove’s Pick-me-up move loses some speed, dropping from 15% to 10%, and a kill after Not Dead Yet yields an ultimate point and a signature refresh point.

Launch notes acknowledge early lock-in for agents and anticipated balance patches, with Hush not expected to dominate pro play immediately.

The Game Changers Championship runs through early November in São Paulo, with results tracked by ESTNN’s Game Changers Championship 2026 tracker.

Hush is designed to change how a Duelist controls space, enabling reads around corners and coordinated engages and retakes with teammates.

She’s compared to Jett, Phoenix, Reyna, Raze, Yoru, Neon, Iso, and Waylay, with Flashbulb offering a redirectable edge similar to Phoenix’s curveball and Displacement providing a distinct crowd-control element.
