Clove holds a slight KDA edge in this matchup, recording 1.37 compared to Raze's 1.27.

30.4%Clove
20.6%Raze
The headshot percentage disparity between Clove and Raze is substantial: 30.4% compared to 20.6%, a 9.9 point difference.

This negligible 0.1 percentage point difference indicates neither agent possesses inherent advantages when executing onto sites or pushing through chokepoints. When these agents meet on attack, success depends almost entirely on team coordination, execute timing, and individual mechanical skill rather than agent kit superiority.

Clove maintains a consistent but slim advantage across both sides of the map in this matchup, with 46.4% attack win rate and 53.6% defense win rate.

Map choice and team composition have minimal impact on this specific matchup outcome. Both agents perform similarly across attack-sided, defense-sided, and balanced maps. Pick based on personal comfort, team needs, and broader composition considerations rather than Clove vs Raze specific factors. The slight Clove advantage doesn't change based on external factors.
For ranked climbing, don't overthink this matchup. The statistical differences are small enough that individual skill, team coordination, and game sense remain the primary factors determining outcomes.

Bottom line: this is one of the more balanced agent matchups in Valorant. Clove has a slight statistical edge, but Raze is absolutely viable and can win through skill. If you're comfortable on Raze, don't switch to Clove just for this matchup — the difference is too small to justify changing your agent pool.
Controller vs Duelist Dynamics
The Controller (Clove) vs Duelist (Raze) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Clove's Controller abilities serve different purposes than Raze's Duelist kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.
Understanding how Controller abilities interact with Duelist counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Clove's Controller toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Raze's Duelist kit counters others. The Clove advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
Clove vs Raze is a skill matchup with near-even win rates (49.5% vs 48.6%). Based on 325 matches, see which agent wins in KDA, damage output, attack rounds, and defense rounds to find your edge.
