With Masters Bangkok 2025 concluded, Valorant developers are set to introduce balance adjustments for agents. These changes have been in development since the release of Tejo and are aimed at fine-tuning the game’s balance before the start of the regular Valorant Champions Tour season. Here, we’ve compiled all the upcoming updates arriving with patch 10.04.

Clove

Meddle (Q):

• Explosion delay changed: instead of 1.3 seconds after activation, it now detonates 0.75 seconds after impact with a surface.
• Updated sound effects to match the changes.

Ruse (E):

• Cooldown increased from 30s to 40s.

Pick-me-up (C):

• Healing duration increased from 8s to 10s.
• Bonus movement speed duration reduced from 8s to 3s.

Tejo

Guided Salve (E):

• Damage reduced from 70 to 65.
• Now deals 50% damage to objects.
• Can no longer destroy Killjoy’s Lockdown—after activation, Lockdown will retain 5 HP.

Deadlock

Barrier Mash (C):

• Now classified as a special ability.
• Cost: 400 credits (previously free).

Gravnet (E):

• Now a basic ability with a 40s cooldown.
• Radius reduced from 16m to 14m.
• Updated sound effects for better gameplay clarity.
• If an enemy destroys the net, a sound cue will now play for all players.

Neon

Overdrive (X):

• Updated visual effects to make Neon and her laser direction more visible when using her ability.

Iso

Undercut (Q):

• Charge count reduced from 2 to 1.
• Cost increased from 200 to 300.
• Now inflicts a suppression effect that lasts as long as the debuff (4s).

Contingency (C):

• Added an alternate mode, where the wall moves at half speed.
• This does not affect the overall ability duration.

Double Tap (E):

• When Iso’s shield breaks, he will now receive the "High Penetration" tag instead of "Wall Penetration", making him more vulnerable after his shield is destroyed.

Kill Contract (X):

• Fixed a bug where, if Iso did not have an active positive effect from “Control Shot”, it would now automatically activate during his ultimate, guaranteeing a sphere spawn upon winning an arena fight.

These may not be all the changes coming in patch 10.04, as the official patch notes have not yet been released. The list could expand before the update goes live.

When Will Valorant Patch 10.04 Be Released?

The estimated release date for patch 10.04 is March 4-5, though the exact timing varies by region. In North America, the update will be available earlier than in Europe.
