▍VALORANT Hush Abilities Explained

Hush’s abilities revolve around controlling movement and disrupting enemy positioning. She can redirect certain projectiles, create a movement anchor, pull opponents toward an impact point, and lift players into the air with her Ultimate.

The following ability details are based on post-reveal coverage. Check the in-game ability descriptions after her release for final mechanics, costs, and keybinds.

Telekinesis – Passive

Telekinesis lets Hush pick up weapons, retrieve the Spike, and interact with switches from an increased distance.

Displacement – Signature Ability (E)

Displacement allows Hush to throw a projectile that explodes on impact or after a delay. The explosion pulls players toward its center, while players who collide with a surface or another player are concussed.

The ability can be redirected after preparation, giving Hush more control over where the projectile lands. It also refreshes every two kills, according to reported ability details.

Flashbulb – C Ability

Flashbulb is Hush’s flash ability. She can throw the projectile immediately or prepare it and redirect it toward her crosshair before detonation.

Flow – Q Ability

Flow gives Hush a distinctive movement option. She can create an anchor and, after a short delay, propel herself toward it. If she is airborne when the ability is activated, she can briefly levitate in place.

Suspension – Ultimate Ability (X)

Suspension is Hush’s Ultimate. She prepares and launches a steerable projectile, then detonates it to levitate players caught in its effect.
