Riot Games introduces Hush, a telekinetic Duelist hailing from Guangdong, China, arriving in Valorant on October 27.
Riot Games has officially unveiled Hush as the newest playable character joining the tactical shooter Valorant. Originating from Guangdong, China, she brings powerful telekinetic abilities to the popular multiplayer game.
The announcement took place during a cinematic trailer debut ahead of the VCT Champions 2026 grand final. Hush will officially join the game roster as the ninth Duelist when she becomes playable on October 27, according to information published by dexerto.
As an aggressive Duelist, Hush expands a roster that already features characters like Jett, Reyna, and Raze. Riot Games has revealed her complete kit, detailing how players can utilize her telekinetic powers in competitive matches.
Hush passive and movement abilities in Valorant
The telekinetic passive ability allows Hush to interact with objects, pick up weapons, and grab the Spike from an increased range. This gives her unique utility compared to other aggressive characters in the game.
For mobility, her Flow ability instantly creates an anchor that Hush propels herself toward after a short delay. If used in the air, she briefly levitates in place before taking off across the map.
Displacement and Flashbulb combat toolkit
Her signature ability, Displacement, can be thrown or prepped, then reactivated to send it toward her crosshair. It explodes on impact, pulling players to the center, and concusses anyone pulled into a surface or another player.
The Flashbulb ability works in a similar way, allowing Hush to redirect a flash toward her crosshair. It explodes on a surface or after a delay, effectively blinding nearby opponents during gunfights.
Suspension ultimate and gameplay role
Hush relies on her ultimate ability, Suspension, to control team fights and disrupt enemy positioning. The ability is prepared instantly and sent forward, with Hush steering the projectile directly using her crosshair.
Reactivating or firing the ultimate again detonates it, levitating every player caught in the blast radius. This powerful crowd control tool solidifies her position as a versatile and aggressive Duelist.
