Not sure how I feel. The finisher and animations are f**king awesome but the sound effects are bad which is a huge turn off for me.
I really wish Valorant let you customize skins more in general. Like let me have the other champ sound effects on this. I think thatd make them so much more money.
Sound effects are really hard to hear in the video, so I recommend you check it out in game once it's out (maybe someone will drop it for you). We worked really hard this year to make the firing sound distinct but also subtle since we heard from pros and high elo folks that they preferred more subtle firing on their Phantoms (vs. Vandal).
All the sounds are pulled from the music video anthem, so it's a lot of cool synth sounds, which might or might not be your thing!
Ain’t no way she said “the better rifle” 💀
But seriously though this is peak
Glad you like it! I prefer Vandal but I'm gonna be buying a lot more Phantoms the next few weeks.
Maybe a hot take, but i don’t really care for the phantom skin. It’s bright, distracting, and I don’t think it really looks all that good. The vandal looked way cleaner imo.
It's not for everyone! Let me know if the colors grow on you. We went a lot bolder this year and tried to capture the essense of supernova.
Also wondering how people will like shooting the rocks in the finisher. It's one of my favorite parts.
Y'all cooked with this one, especially the finisher oh my. Shoutout to you, Oniram and the whole team!! It feels good to be supporting the teams by buying this piece of art
Thank you! Oniram and I are really happy with how the skin turned out! My favorite Champs skin so far! I say that every year, but only because they keep getting better.
Rijot i think u overcooked this, im waiting for better skin release
All good! Hope you've found something you like so far this year. If not, maybe next year!
Damn, you taking the criticism so well I could never
There's something out there for everyone, but not every skin is for everyone.
Also critical feedback helps us make better stuff for you all in the future!
translation: im gonna buy phantom until my first 140 betrays me and then remind myself why i stick to vandal
yeah this lol
u/Riot_Preeti I was wondering if the melee inspect loops like previous champions melees? This reveal shows (and probably implies) that it doesn't and would like some confirmation if possible.
It's a brand new melee inspect
Thank you for the quick response! The pose when you're inside the finisher is such a cool idea, and loving the new melee inspect. Will definitely cop the bundle.
Awesome!! Thank you so much for supporting VCT!!!
You guys killed it! Thanks for all the banger skins lately 😂
thank you so much!!! i hope you pick it up and help support VCT!
Hey folks this year is huge improvement , my main complaint why I didn't purchase last years melee and only went with vandal is fixed! The phantom is pretty sick, too. 2022 one got somewhat old and difference between low/avg frags vs 25+ frags was too big and this year its pretty smooth and even basic variant (0 kills) looks very cool. Hope to see new gun skins come to champion bundles moving forward, I think vandal/phantom only is a bit stagnating. Cheers to the team and would like to hear your opinion on bringing other guns to Champion bundles u/Riot_Preeti
Thanks so much! We def felt like we wanted it to look great even if you're bottom fragging, so the supernova effect is always on and then it gets cracked gold like the trophy at 24 kills!
Colors are perfect
Love that you love them!
I have a huge dilemma with this skin.
Shoot asteroids? Or defuse bomb?
Have wingman defuse while your teammate shoots asteroids and you pose.
This guy Valorants.
This guy monetizes
