Valorant Patch Notes 8.07

The latest update to Valorant, Patch 8.07, introduces a notable tweak to Omen, enhancing how the shadowy agent interacts with the game's critical objective. Omen now has the capability to secure the Spike in his ethereal Shade form without terminating the ability. This integration shifts a previous ambiguous interaction into an official aspect of his toolkit, providing Omen players with a more fluid and strategic approach during match play.

Accompanying Omen's adjustment, the update addresses several issues related to Clove, the newest addition to the Valorant roster. Since her debut, Clove has garnered a positive reception from the gaming community. The patch aims to refine her presence in-game by resolving multiple bugs, ensuring her abilities perform as intended, and maintaining the competitive balance that players expect from the fast-paced tactical shooter.
