Riot builds each agent under an internal codename before the character exists — Harbor was developed as “Mage”. The codenames survive in the game files long after release.
Playing Harbor
Harbor has 4 usable abilities per round. Two are bought with credits and lost on death, which means an eco round genuinely changes what Harbor can do — not just what gun you hold.
The habit that separates good controllers from bad ones is spending abilities rather than saving them. They don’t carry over between rounds, so an unused ability at the end of a round is credits you set on fire.
