Hush in Valorant: the new Duelist who rewrites the rules of the battlefield

Who is Hush?

Hush is a telekinetic agent: she moves weapons, the Spike and even the enemies themselves with her mind. Her passive, Telekinesis, lets her pick up a dropped gun or the Spike, and open doors, from far outside normal interaction range.

She has long white hair with pink and purple undertones, a blunt hime cut and pink eyes that glow when her powers are active. Her design leans on hard geometry — floating pink shards, a black outfit, a neon-lit Guangdong alley at night.

She is the third Valorant agent from China, after Sage and Iso, and the second new agent of 2026 after the Controller Miks. If you are looking for hush agent valorant specifics rather than the general roster, this page and the new agent reveal page cover the same ground from different angles.

Hush release date and unlock options

Hush goes live on October 27, 2026, arriving with Season 26, Act VI. Riot has confirmed full global availability across all regions on that date; some regions have historically taken one extra day to roll out, so treat October 28 as the safe latest date in Oceania and Southeast Asia.

You have four ways to get her:

• Recruitment event (free). Earn XP on the Act VI battle pass during her recruitment event and unlock Hush at no cost. This is the only route that costs you nothing but playtime.
• 1,000 VP. Buy her outright from the agent store once the recruitment event ends.
• 10,000 Kingdom Credits. Use the currency you earn from daily play.
• Xbox Game Pass link. Link an active Xbox Game Pass account to your Riot account and Hush is granted automatically alongside the Game Pass agent selection.
• The exact XP requirement has not been published by Riot at the time of writing — we update this page as soon as it is confirmed.

Hush abilities at a glance

Hush carries five abilities. Two of them share the same unusual control scheme: you can throw them straight away, or you can hold them, steer them with your crosshair and then detonate on your terms. Nothing else in Valorant gives you that much mid-flight control over a flash and a pull.

Why Hush plays differently from other Duelists

Jett and Neon win fights with raw speed. Hush does not. Her mobility is a setup tool: you place the Flow anchor where you want to land, not where you happen to be looking. Her flash and her pull are not fire-and-forget either — you are steering them, which means you are committing your crosshair to a second job while your teammates take the first shot.

That is the trade: a higher floor of execution for a much higher ceiling of control. Riot’s own framing was that there is "a lot of room to make Hush feel like your own". Two players running the same site with Hush can produce completely different results.

One important correction to the pre-reveal leaks: Hush cannot copy an ally’s ability, and her Ultimate does not change between attack and defence. Neither rumour survived the official reveal. The kit above is the confirmed version.

Is Hush worth unlocking?

If you play Initiator-adjacent Duelist like Breach or Skye and you enjoy setting up your team rather than isolated 1v1s, Hush is the most interesting addition to the role in years. Her Displacement creates pulls that no other agent can replicate, and Telekinesis turns eco rounds and post-plant retakes into something you can actually run.

If you rely on a hero ability with no setup — Jett’s dash, Neon’s sprint — Hush will feel slower on day one, because both her flash and her pull reward you for preparing them first. Expect a two to three week adaptation period in ranked.

Community reaction on reveal day was split in a predictable way: high skill ceiling, potentially meta-defining Ultimate, and a dash whose value depends entirely on how telegraphed it is. That last point is the thing to watch after she ships.
