Clove deals 38.1 more damage per round on average, indicating absolute dominance in direct combat exchanges. This level of disparity suggests Clove's kit, typical playstyle, or positioning patterns give them massive advantages in dealing damage while Harbor struggles to even trade effectively.

HS %
33.9%Clove
30.4%Harbor
Clove demonstrates notably superior headshot accuracy against Harbor: 33.9% versus 30.4%. This 3.5 percentage point gap in precision means Clove ends gunfights faster, conserves more ammo, and wins more 50-50 duels where both players see each other simultaneously. Harbor faces a real disadvantage in aim duels and should compensate through utility, positioning, or weapon choices that don't require headshot precision (shotguns, Odin spraying through smokes, etc.).

Attack Side Breakdown
The attack-side performance gap between Clove and Harbor is dramatic: 54.9% versus 40.6%, a commanding 14.3 percentage point advantage. Clove dominates offensive scenarios in this matchup to a degree that requires Harbor to fundamentally change their approach to attack-side play.
Our analysis of 17 competitive matches reveals Clove has overwhelming attack-side superiority in every measurable category. Site executions, entry success, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all massively favor Clove. This isn't a gap that Harbor can overcome through practice or "playing better" — it's a structural matchup disadvantage. Harbor teams must build their entire attack strategy around protecting Harbor from direct Clove engagement: give Harbor lurk roles, put them in trade positions rather than entry, and design executes where Harbor's weaknesses are covered by teammate utility.
Under no circumstances should Harbor take entry duels against Clove. The 14.3% attack gap makes entry fragging against Clove one of the lowest-percentage plays in Valorant. Harbor must exclusively play support roles on attack: flash for teammates, smoke for executes, trade after entries, or create map pressure through lurks that don't involve Clove confrontation. Clove should actively hunt Harbor entries, knowing the statistical advantage is overwhelming.

Harbor's post-plant conversion rate against Clove is catastrophic. The data shows Harbor fails to hold spike plants at a dramatically higher rate than Clove. Never leave Harbor alone post-plant — they need constant teammate support, crossfire setups, and utility coordination to have any chance of winning these scenarios. Consider not planting at all if Harbor is the only survivor. Clove should play extremely confidently in post-plants, knowing Harbor struggles to convert even favorable positions.
Defense Side Breakdown
The defensive disparity between Clove and Harbor is substantial: 59.4% versus 45.1%, a 14.3 point chasm. Clove absolutely dominates CT side in this matchup — their site holds are significantly harder to break, their retake contributions more impactful, and their defensive utility more effective at every level.
Harbor cannot be trusted with traditional site anchor responsibilities against Clove. The 14.3% defensive gap is too large to overcome through positioning or individual skill. Teams must protect Harbor: pair them with multiple teammates, give them off-site lurk positions, or have them rotate immediately when Clove's presence is identified on their site. Clove should aggressively anchor the most difficult sites on any map, knowing their defensive capability is overwhelming.
Harbor should avoid retake scenarios against Clove entirely when possible. The data from 17 matches shows Harbor's retake conversion rate against Clove is dramatically lower than average. If Harbor must retake, require 3+ player numbers advantage and full utility coordination. Clove should play post-plant positions knowing Harbor lacks the capability to effectively contest them. In clutch scenarios, Clove wins at overwhelming rates.
Economy decisions for Harbor must account for their defensive inadequacy. Force buying against Clove is essentially throwing away credits — the defensive gap makes partial buys nearly unwinnable. Harbor should always advocate for full saves, building toward rounds where team utility can compensate for their individual defensive weakness. Clove can confidently force and half-buy, knowing their defensive advantages persist across all economy states.
Overall Side Analysis
Clove demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (54.9%) and defense (59.4%), comprehensively outperforming Harbor across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 17 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Clove holding advantages at every stage.
Map selection and team composition cannot fix Harbor's disadvantage in this matchup. Clove outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Harbor into Clove, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Harbor's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Harbor in isolated Clove encounters.
For ranked climbing, avoid playing Harbor when you expect to face Clove frequently. The 28.5 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Clove is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
Final verdict: Clove decisively wins the Clove vs Harbor matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Clove has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Harbor players facing Clove should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.

Both Clove and Harbor fill the Controller role in Valorant team compositions. This role mirror means teams won't face composition issues from having both agents — the question is purely which Controller performs better in direct competition. Our data clearly indicates Clove is the stronger Controller pick when these agents face each other.
In Controller vs Controller encounters, similar ability timing and usage patterns mean both agents often use their kits in comparable ways. The winner typically comes down to which player uses their abilities more efficiently and wins the mechanical duels that follow. Clove's statistical advantage suggests their specific Controller kit translates slightly better to winning these mirror encounters.
