Valorant players have identified a bug that lets Cypher players cancel Clove’s ultimate using his own.
Clove’s ultimate, Not Dead Yet, allows them to revive for a time and, if they get a kill or assist while revived, they can be fully resurrected. That means canceling the ability can completely nullify Clove, whoseentire kitrevolves around the afterlife.
One Valorant player discovered Cypher can cancel Clove’s ability using his own ultimate in a weird interaction and posted the unfortunate clip toReddit.
In the video, the player piloting Clove has their ultimate ready to go and is killed by a Cypher who immediately uses his ability the second the player’s body hits the ground.
The resulting interaction from Clove’s view looks as if their death animation stuttered while their ult animation starts up. The animation stutters as well, going from complete to starting up then disappearing, and then Cypher’s ultimate is seen on the player’s body.
“What the hell happened?” The post said.
Fellow Valorant players in the comments tried to deduce what exactly happened. Some posited that the Clove player pressed the ultimate button twice causing her intangibility to end, while others chalked it up to anotherbuggy agent interaction.
“I wonder if when Cypher used his ult right when you died, and maybe the hat needs a corpse to exist. and maybe it overwrote your ult because Cypher ult, which went off first (?) took priority,” one Reddit user said.

A Riot Games Software Engineer with the username ‘RiotCombatCube’ replied to the post and said that the interaction is definitely a bug and will be looked at.
“As much as I like playing Cypher, I admit he’s not allowed to do that. I’m sorry that happened to you,” the dev said.
