Valorant offers a wide variety of weapons for any situation, but the Guardian is certainly not among the most popular. Despite its low popularity, the Guardian is not a bad weapon; in the hands of a true professional, it can be just as deadly as the Vandal or Phantom. The same applies to its skins, most of which are true works of art. That’s why the Bo3 editorial team has prepared a list of the 15 best Guardian skins in 2025. Before we begin, it’s worth noting that this ranking reflects the objective opinion of the author.

Ruination Guardian

Kicking off our list is a skin from a bundle that remains a staple in most top lists despite its age. The Ruination bundle was released back in 2021 with patch 3.01, meaning it will turn four years old in 2025. Despite this, the Ruination skins are still among the most popular and, more importantly, the most beautiful, according to a large part of the Valorant community. This is thanks to its mystical atmosphere, lore, and its connection with other Riot Games universes.

Price: 8,700 VP for the full bundle, 2,175 VP for the Guardian

Neptune Guardian

The next skin is the complete opposite of the previous one, as the Neptune bundle is not among the most popular and rarely makes it into top lists. Despite this, the Neptune Guardian is a refined skin that combines two primary and simple colors: black and white. Additionally, it features a small octopus placed in the middle of the barrel. This makes the skin not only stylish but also quite charming.

Price: 7,100 VP for the full bundle, 1,775 VP for the Guardian

Oni Guardian

The Oni bundle skin is not the most visually striking on our list, but its detailed craftsmanship, unique animations, color variations, and its story tied to the legend of a mythical demon make it special. The simple Japanese-themed design with golden lines, complemented by sound effects that make the weapon feel completely different, earns it a spot among the best Guardian skins in 2025.

Magepunk Guardian

The MagePunk skin is perfect for players interested in the steampunk aesthetic. The entire collection is styled after this universe, with each weapon in the bundle having four color variations that affect the lighting and lightning effects inside the gun. A distinctive feature of this skin is its sound effects, which enhance the gaming experience for semi-automatic weapons like the Guardian. The collection also includes skins for the Ghost, Sheriff, and other weapons, as three parts of this bundle have already been released.

Valorant Go Vol.1 Guardian

Although Valorant features many unique skins dedicated to specific agents, Cypher is rarely the focus. If you main this character, the Valorant Go Vol.1 skin is a perfect choice. It not only features a sticker of the aforementioned agent but also boasts a great design that combines bright light colors with darker shades. This combination looks extremely stylish, making this skin rightfully one of the best.

Price: 8,855 VP for the full bundle, 1,775 VP for the Guardian

Sovereign Guardian

The Sovereign collection recently received an update with several new skins. However, this does not apply to the Guardian skin, which was released back in Episode 1. Despite this, the skin has not aged at all and still looks stylish after four years. What makes it special is its aristocratic design, which, when fully upgraded, features a unique finisher effect—a large sword falling from the sky to eliminate the enemy.

Price: 7,100 VP for the full bundle, 1,775 VP for the Guardian

Recon Guardian

The next skin is perfect for players who love realism. While most Valorant skins feature unusual designs incorporating magic, unknown cosmic technology, and other fantastical elements, the Recon bundle stands apart. All skins in this set resemble real-life weapons, making them ideal for players who prefer a more realistic style.

Price: 7,100 VP for the full bundle, 1,775 VP for the Guardian

Gaia's Vengeance Guardian

Another skin in our list that was released quite some time ago but has not lost its popularity over the years. The Guardian from the Gaia’s Vengeance bundle remains one of the best skins for this rifle. Thanks to its unique design, which features crystals wrapped in white tree branches, this skin continues to attract players. Far from a realistic weapon appearance, the Gaia’s Vengeance bundle offers four different colors, two levels of sound animation, and a finisher effect that spawns the same tree from which the skin appears to be made at the location of the last enemy.

Price: 7,100 VP for the full bundle, 1,775 VP for the Guardian

Ego Guardian

The Ego bundle skin is perfect for players who are unstoppable both in-game and in real life. In addition to a sleek combination of classic black-and-white colors, the weapon also features the word “unstoppable.” Interestingly, this skin has three additional color variations, each changing the text into different languages. You can choose the language that resonates with you the most: English unstoppable, Portuguese imbatível, French inarrêtable, as well as symbols in Japanese.

Price: 7,100 VP for the full bundle, 1,775 VP for the Guardian

Araxys Guardian

We have repeatedly mentioned the Araxys collection in our top skin lists, so it's no surprise that it has once again made it among the best Guardian skins. Especially now that the second part of the bundle has been released, which includes this skin. It features four upgrade levels, with the second unlocking sound effects that, combined with the Guardian, make it one of the best skins in 2025.

Price: 8,700 VP for the full bundle, 2,175 VP for the Guardian

RGX 11Z Pro Guardian

Another skin that impresses not only with its visual design but also with its sound effects. Weapons from the RGX 11Z Pro bundle produce a distinct cutting sound, as if slicing through the air. While this effect is more pronounced with the butterfly knife, the Guardian skin also reloads and fires with a similar sound, meaning you don’t necessarily have to purchase the entire set.

Price: 8,700 VP for the full bundle, 2,175 VP for the Guardian

Prime Guardian

Prime was the first skin collection to appear in Valorant’s store on June 2, 2020, coinciding with the official release of the game. While it may not be considered one of the best, as it was more of a test run for Riot’s designers, the skins still turned out to be quite stylish and interesting.

Price: 7,100 VP for the full bundle, 1,775 VP for the Guardian

Bubble Pop Guardian

Any selection of the best skins without an anime-style entry would be illegitimate, which is why the Bubble Pop Guardian has made it into the top 15. Just one look at it immediately makes it clear why this skin deserves a spot in the ranking.

Price: 5,100 VP for the full bundle, 1,275 VP for the Guardian

Tethered Realms Guardian

Even among unique and rare skins, this Guardian stands out as truly special. The reason is that the skin has two different visual modes, but switching between them does not require leveling up the weapon. Every two seconds, the light theme alternates with the dark one and vice versa. Such a design mechanic is rarely seen in Valorant, and the number of skins that feature it is incredibly low.

Price: 7,100 VP for the full bundle, 1,775 VP for the Guardian

Reaver Guardian

Closing our list is another skin that appears to be tied to a specific agent. While there is no official confirmation, most players believe that the Reaver bundle is directly dedicated to the agent Omen. The color scheme of the skins and effects closely resembles the hues of Omen’s abilities, and the player cards included in the bundle depict a hooded character who bears a striking resemblance to Omen.
