VALORANT Patch 13.09 introduces Hush, nerfs Clove and improves Warden handling

Riot Games has released VALORANT Patch 13.09, introducing Hush alongside balance changes to Clove and the Warden.

Hush brings steerable utility and displacement

Hush’s Displacement pulls players towards its centre and CaN concuss them following collisions. Flashbulb provides a steerable Flash , while Flow propels Hush towards an anchor.

Her UlTiMATe , Suspension, launches a controllable effect that levitates affected players. Her passive also allows her to retrieve weapons and the attacking Spike, and interact with switches, from greater distances.

Clove receives two changes

Pick- ME -up’s movement-speed bonus has been reduced from 15% to 10%.

Players who Kill Clove after Not Dead Yet will now receive an UlTiMATe point and signature refresh credit, bringing that interaction into line with the intended Kill rewards.

Warden becomes easier to control

Riot has smoothed the Warden’s initial Recoil and reduced follow-up Bullet spread. Second- Bullet error falls from 0.25 to 0.20, while third- Bullet error decreases from 0.60 to 0.50.

The update also standardises ability descriptions and introduces clearer terminology for movement-speed buffs and silhouette reveals.
