Valorant Patch 13.10 Leak: Sentinel Buffs Cut Killjoy, Cypher and Vyse Cooldowns to 45s

Valorant Patch 13.10 will buff four Sentinels, according to a list the dataminer valohabercisi posted on X on November 7. Killjoy's Turret, Cypher's Spycam and Vyse's Arc Rose would come back 15 seconds sooner after enemies destroy them, and Sage's Healing Orb would get easier to land on teammates. Riot Games hasn't confirmed the changes. If Riot keeps the two-week gap of its last patches, 13.10 arrives on Tuesday, November 10.

What's in the Valorant Patch 13.10 leak?

The leak lists six changes for four agents. Three of them are the same change: the cooldown after the ability is destroyed drops from 60 seconds to 45 seconds.

The leak's starting values match the live game. Here is how each cooldown would move, checked against the ability stats for Patch 13.09:

Chamber, Deadlock and Veto, the other three Sentinels, aren't on the list.

Why 45 seconds? Riot would be undoing a 2025 nerf

All three abilities had a 45-second cooldown after being destroyed until Patch 11.08 on October 14, 2025. That patch raised each one to 60 seconds in a wide pass on Sentinels, which Riot said should give attackers clearer ways to play around their utility.

Patch 13.00 on June 23, 2026 started to reverse that with a round of Sentinel buffs. Riot said Sentinels should punish attackers "who ignore macro strategy and instead opt for repeated, low information 5-player site hits." The 13.10 leak would go further and return the three cooldowns to their old value.

What do the changes mean in a match?

The shorter cooldown matters most later in the same round. A round runs for up to 100 seconds before the Spike is planted. With a 60-second cooldown, an ability destroyed in the first 40 seconds can come back before the clock runs out. At 45 seconds, that window grows to the first 55 seconds, so a Sentinel who loses a setup early has a better shot at rebuilding it for a retake or a late rotation.

• Killjoy: shooting down the Turret currently buys attackers a full minute without it. The leak cuts that to 45 seconds. The Turret has fired 50% faster since Patch 13.00, and its 20-second recall cooldown stays the same.
• Vyse: Arc Rose is her flash. She places it and reactivates it to blind everyone looking at it. Since Patch 11.08 enemies can shoot it during the windup, and the leak makes losing it 15 seconds cheaper.
• Cypher: the change cuts both ways. A camera that gets shot comes back 15 seconds sooner, but picking it up to move it now costs 20 seconds instead of 15. Players who leave the Spycam in one spot gain, and players who move it during a round lose a little.
• Sage: no numbers change. The Healing Orb would lock onto teammates more accurately, and the crosshair would stay on screen while you aim it. The orb heals an ally for 100 HP over 5 seconds on a 45-second cooldown.

These four agents are rare picks in ranked right now. MetaBot.gg's ranked data from November 7 shows pick rates of 3.2% for Cypher, 1.7% for Killjoy and 1.3% each for Vyse and Sage, against 10.5% for Chamber. All four win between 51.5% and 52% of their games.

Creators who cover the role don't agree on how much help it needs. In a November 3 video, Wendler argued that Sentinels are in an okay spot and Cypher is already strong, but named Killjoy and Deadlock as the two that dive Duelists run over on some maps. Warsky's ranked tier list from October 19 put Cypher in S tier, Killjoy in A tier and Sage in C tier, saying Sage lost value when Split and Ascent left the competitive map pool in Patch 13.08.

When does Valorant Patch 13.10 come out?

Riot hasn't announced a date, and the leak only says "next week." Riot's last two patches came out on Tuesdays, two weeks apart: 13.08 on October 13 and 13.09 on October 27. The same gap puts Patch 13.10 on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Riot publishes the official notes on playvalorant.com on patch day. The notes for 13.08 and 13.09 carry a 13:00 UTC timestamp. The same slot on November 10 would be 8 a.m. ET / 5 a.m. PT.

Can you trust the leak?

The leaker, valohabercisi, describes themselves on X as a Valorant dataminer and leaker. Their recent record is good but not perfect:

1. October 19: they said Killjoy and other Sentinels would get buffs, with no details. The buffs weren't in 13.09.
2. October 23: they posted changes for Patch 13.09. Riot's notes on October 27 included all the headline items: Clove's Pick-Me-Up speed bonus cut from 15% to 10%, an ultimate point and signature refresh for killing Clove after Not Dead Yet, and less recoil on the Warden. One leaked Clove change, losing ultimate points from kills after Not Dead Yet, didn't make the final notes.
3. November 7: the 13.10 list in this article.

Treat the 13.10 numbers as likely, not final. Riot can change values between a datamined build and release.

FAQ

Does Vyse's flash still tell her team when it hits someone?

No. Patch 11.08 removed the audio cue and voice line that played when Arc Rose flashed an enemy, and the 13.10 leak doesn't bring them back.

Did Cypher's Trapwire get nerfed?

Yes, in Patch 11.08: a triggered Trapwire no longer concusses and instead slows and reveals. Patch 13.00 then cut its windup from 0.9 to 0.7 seconds. The 13.10 leak doesn't touch it.

Are Deadlock and Veto getting buffed in 13.10?

Not according to this leak. Both were last buffed in Patch 13.00: Deadlock's GravNet cooldown went from 60 to 50 seconds, and Veto's Interceptor reclaim cooldown from 30 to 20 seconds.
