Phantom skins in Valorant are one of the most attractive weapon skins in any FPS game. Not only the designs are amazing and creative but also the kill animation of some of them are outstanding. Most of the players are attracted to Phantom skins over the Vandal skins is due to the reason that the gun is much easier to use in the game making it the first choice for them.
Phantom is also the choice of weapon for a new player joining the game which makes it a better investment for them. The skins are mostly available in-store at regular prices or in the night market at a discounted price. So, before buying the skin look at the list below to get pointers for which skin to go for.
