Avg KDA
1.26Iso
1.38Clove
Clove holds a slight KDA edge in this matchup, recording 1.38 compared to Iso's 1.26. While this 0.12 point difference indicates Clove tends to come out ahead in engagements, the gap remains small enough that skilled Iso players can overcome it through superior positioning, utility timing, or simply winning crucial aim duels. The data suggests Clove's kit may offer marginally better tools for securing kills while staying alive, but Iso players shouldn't feel disadvantaged when taking fights in this matchup.
Avg Kills
16.3Iso
17.6Clove
Clove secures approximately 1.2 more kills per match than Iso in this head-to-head (17.6 vs 16.3). Over the course of a typical 20+ round game, this translates to Clove contributing several additional eliminations to their team's efforts. The gap indicates Clove's playstyle or kit provides slightly better kill-securing opportunities, though Iso can compensate through superior utility assistance, site anchoring, or clutch performances.
Avg Deaths
16.8Iso
18.2Clove
Iso demonstrates markedly better survivability against Clove, recording 16.8 deaths per game versus 18.2. Dying nearly 1.4 fewer times per match gives Iso significantly more impact potential — more opportunities for multi-kills, more presence in clutch rounds, and more economic stability from staying alive. Clove players face a survival deficit that compounds throughout a match, making disciplined positioning and smart disengagements crucial.
DMG/Round
147.9Iso
151.4Clove
Clove applies 3.5 more damage per round than Iso in this matchup (151.4 vs 147.9 ADR). While not overwhelming, this gap compounds meaningfully over a full match: Clove contributes noticeably more chip damage, assists, and near-kills that set up teammates. Iso can close this gap through better trading patterns, ensuring their damage leads to actual eliminations rather than just tagging opponents who then escape or get healed.
HS %
30.3%Iso
31.8%Clove
Clove lands headshots at a slightly higher rate (31.8% vs 30.3%), providing a modest but meaningful advantage in time-to-kill during duels. This 1.5 percentage point edge translates to Clove more frequently one-tapping or two-tapping opponents before Iso can fully react. Iso players should counter this by avoiding predictable angle holds, using movement to throw off Clove's crosshair placement, and prefiring common positions to negate the accuracy gap.

Attack Side Breakdown
Clove demonstrates a modest attack-side advantage over Iso in this matchup, converting 50.6% of attacking rounds versus 48.8%. While this 1.8 point edge gives Clove slightly better site-taking capability, the gap remains narrow enough that skilled Iso players can overcome it through superior execution and team play.
The data from 106 competitive games suggests Clove's kit provides marginally better tools for attack-side scenarios. This could manifest as slightly more effective entry utility, better post-plant stalling, or superior mid-round adaptability. However, Iso teams shouldn't dramatically alter their attacking approach — instead, focus on tightening execute timing, coordinating utility chains more precisely, and ensuring trades are happening when entries fail. Small improvements in team coordination can easily overcome a 1.8% gap.
When taking entry duels, Clove holds a slight statistical advantage but nothing that should change fundamental approach. Iso players should still take confident entries when they have good information or utility support. The key adjustment is ensuring you're not taking unnecessary 50-50 duels — look for angles where you have an advantage through utility, information, or teammate support. Clove can play slightly more aggressively on entries, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.

In post-plant situations, Clove's slight advantage likely stems from better utility for denying defuses or controlling retake angles. Iso should compensate by being more deliberate about post-plant positioning — take spots that offer escape routes or trade potential rather than hero plays. Stack post-plants with teammates when possible, and use utility efficiently to maximize delay time. The 1.8 point gap can be neutralized through smart post-plant fundamentals.
Defense Side Breakdown
Clove shows slightly better defensive capabilities than Iso, winning 51.2% of defense rounds compared to 49.4%. This 1.8 percentage point edge suggests Clove's kit provides marginally better tools for CT-side play, though the gap remains small enough for skilled Iso players to overcome.
When deciding site assignments, Clove can slightly more confidently take solo anchor roles. Their 1.8% defensive advantage likely stems from better stalling utility, superior information gathering, or more effective site-holding positions. Iso should consider pairing with a teammate on their site rather than solo anchoring, or taking positions that allow early rotates rather than committing to extended holds. The advantage is small but worth considering in close games.
Clove demonstrates marginally better retake capability in this matchup. Whether through superior clearing utility, better post-plant positioning, or stronger clutch mechanics, Clove converts retakes at a slightly higher rate. Iso should focus on retaking with numbers — don't take hero 1v1 retakes against Clove when you can wait for teammates. Clove can be slightly more confident in isolated retake situations, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.
On eco and force buy rounds, the 1.8% gap becomes more pronounced as utility advantages compound. Iso should be more conservative with eco aggression against Clove and prioritize saving for full buys where team utility can compensate for individual disadvantages. Clove can play slightly more aggressively on force buys, knowing their defensive kit provides small but meaningful advantages even with limited economy.
Overall Side Analysis
Clove holds clear advantages on both attack (50.6%) and defense (51.2%), establishing themselves as the superior choice in the Iso vs Clove matchup regardless of map side. This consistency across both halves means Clove doesn't need to play for specific sides or rely on winning a particular half to succeed.
Clove's advantage holds across all map types and team compositions. Whether on attack-sided, defense-sided, or balanced maps, Clove performs better. Iso teams should consider compositions that can cover their weaknesses — pair Iso with strong fragging agents who can carry during their difficult matchup encounters, and ensure utility supports Iso's positioning.
For ranked climbing specifically, Clove is the objectively better pick in this matchup. If you're equally comfortable on both agents and frequently face this matchup, practicing Clove provides a measurable ranked advantage. Iso players should focus on team play, utility value, and avoiding direct Clove confrontations rather than trying to outfrag them.
The verdict is clear: Clove wins this matchup on both sides of the map. The combined 3.5 percentage point advantage across attack and defense represents a meaningful statistical edge. Iso isn't unplayable, but faces an uphill battle requiring stronger team support and more disciplined play to compete.
Duelist vs Controller Dynamics
The Duelist (Iso) vs Controller (Clove) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Iso's Duelist abilities serve different purposes than Clove's Controller kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.

Iso's Duelist toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Clove's Controller kit counters others. The Clove advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
Iso vs Clove is a skill matchup with near-even win rates (46.2% vs 51.9%). Based on 106 matches, see which agent wins in KDA, damage output, attack rounds, and defense rounds to find your edge.
