Riot Reveals Valorant's New Duelist Hush
Hush joins the roster with a kit built around aiming mid-throw and repositioning on a placed anchor, a combination that pushes the Duelist role toward ability-guided movement rather than raw entry.

Riot Games revealed Hush, a new Duelist for tactical shooter Valorant, on October 18 at the Grand Final of Valorant Champions Shanghai. Hush is described as a Duelist from China with long pink hair and is counted as the game's 30th agent. The agent joins the roster on October 27, local time. A trailer titled "Fall into the void!" shows the character moving quickly over short distances, curving the path of thrown grenades, and pulling enemies toward a single point. A separate short video on the official YouTube channel details her abilities: Telekinesis pulls weapons and the Spike to her from a distance and works switches from farther away than usual; Displacement and Flashbulb can be curved with the crosshair after being thrown, the first pulling enemies in its blast radius and the second blinding with a flash; Flow draws her toward a placed anchor at high speed; and the ultimate, Suspension, throws a controllable orb that makes all players in its area float when it detonates.
Riot confirmed the name and the slot on October 18 at the VALORANT Champions Shanghai Grand Final, and the official YouTube trailer carries the title "Fall into the void! // Hush New Agent Trailer - VALORANT." The same reveal bundle includes an in-game icon, key visual, cinematic, and smartphone and PC wallpapers.
- Telekinesis: lets Hush pull weapons and the Spike to herself from range, and operate switches from farther away than other agents.
- Displacement: its flight path bends toward the crosshair after the throw; the blast pulls enemies in.
- Flashbulb: also steerable after the throw, and blinds with a flash.
- Flow: pulls Hush toward a placed anchor at high speed.
- Suspension: the ultimate orb's path is steered with the crosshair, and the detonation makes every player in the area float.
Her listed origin is Guangdong Province, China. Riot frames her around the ability to "bend reality," and the debut is billed as the start of Season 26 // ACT VI. Hush follows Iso, Yoru, and Outlaw in recent patch notes and agent changes. Riot has not published a release date beyond October 27 local time.
