The shooter from Riot Games presents players with a vast arsenal of weapons suited for a variety of situations. As of now, there are 18 types of weapons available in Valorant, and the developers occasionally add new ones, as was the case with the latest Outlaw sniper rifle. Despite such diversity, the Vandal and Phantom automatic rifles maintain their popularity. We previously created a list of the 15 best skins for the Vandal, so today it's time to talk about the second most popular weapon, the Phantom. The Bo3 editorial team has created a list of the 15 best Phantom skins in Valorant, reflecting the author's objective opinion. Before we start, note that the skins are not listed from best to worst, but the numbers from 1 to 15 are used just for easier navigation through the list.

1 – Primordium Phantom

Topping our list is the Phantom skin that appeared last in the game. The Primordium set is designed in an aggressive demonic style with the addition of lava, making it quite unique among other sets in Valorant. The skins have a unique kill animation, so if you make an ace, the last enemy will be dragged into the abyss by a demonic hand. It's worth noting that the set appeared in the game only on March 5th, so you still have the chance to buy it directly, without waiting for the store rotation or Night Market.

Price: 8,700 VP for the entire set, 2,175 VP for the Phantom

2 – Gaia's Vengeance Phantom

A constant participant in all top skins lists is the Gaia's Vengeance set, this time for the Phantom. Its popularity is not surprising, as the set was one of the most popular at the time due to its unique design that combines intertwining branches of trees and crystals of various colours: green, blue, orange, and the standard red. Despite the fact that the first part of the set was released with the ancient update 4.04, the skins still look some of the best today. And after the addition of the second part of skins in patch 7.07, including the aforementioned Phantom skin, the Gaia's Vengeance set remains one of the best even to this day.

Price: 7,100 VP for the entire set, 1,775 VP for the Phantom

3 – Minima Phantom

The next skin was released with the update 2.09 back in 2021 and did not find much popularity among the community, all due to its design, which directly relates to its name. The Minima Phantom is designed in a minimalist style, without a variety of light effects, lightning, etc. The only thing that glows on the weapon is the trigger, in this case, a circle and a few small stripes on the magazine and the main part of the weapon. Although its minimalism didn't find much popularity, it's perfect for players who don't want to be distracted by various effects.

Price: 4,270 VP for the entire set, 1,275 VP for the Phantom

4 – Undercity Phantom

Next, we have a skin that will appeal to all cyberpunk aesthetics lovers, which is directly indicated not only by the appearance of the set itself but also by its codename CyberCity. The images on the weapon itself, as well as during the set's announcement, show a nighttime city with familiar themes. Although some players speculate that it is a tribute to the game Cyberpunk 2077, there is no official confirmation.

Price: 7,100 VP for the entire set, 1,775 VP for the Phantom

5 – Nebula Phantom

The space theme has always attracted players due to its atmospheric and mysterious nature. That's why the Nebula set found its popularity at the beginning of Valorant's inception in August 2020 when the space skins were released. Notably, if you main the agent Astra, the Nebula Phantom will suit you even better, combining the space theme with a character who directly possesses cosmic powers.

Price: 7,100 VP for the entire set, 1,775 VP for the Phantom

6 – Prime Phantom

Next, we have a rather ordinary skin from the second part of the Prime set, but it has a special feature. The fact is that the Prime Phantom is very similar to the skin from the Champions 2022 set, dedicated to the 2022 World Championship.

Since the skin from this set can no longer be obtained, and they do not appear in the rotation, the Prime set is a great alternative to the championship skin.

Price: 7,100 VP for the entire set, 1,775 VP for the Phantom

7 – Glitchpop Phantom

One of the most expensive sets, which has the rarity of Exclusive, also contains a skin for the Phantom. But Glitchpop Phantom made it to our list not because of its price or rarity, but thanks to its unique design. As seen in the image, the skins, besides bright lines and colors, contain various stickers and decals. Among them are pink ponies, fictional ice cream mascots, and more. This particularly attracts fans of another shooter from Valve - CS2. In the latter, there is the possibility to customize your weapon with the addition of stickers, whereas Valorant players only have to choose a specific weapon with custom decals.

8 – Blastx Phantom

Another representative of Exclusive sets in Valorant is the Blastx Phantom. It captures attention due to its unusual style, executed in the form of a plastic toy or a water gun. But although it's just the appearance, it does real damage in the game, making it perfect for all players who prefer the Phantom among all types of weapons.

Price: 8,700 VP for the entire set, 2,175 VP for the Phantom

9 – Ruination Phantom

The next skin came to Valorant thanks to a collaboration of the game with another Riot project - League of Legends. In the background, you can see two heroes, one of which is the character Viego from LoL. Interestingly, each weapon from the Ruination set corresponds to a specific League of Legends character, and the Phantom skin corresponds to Viego, who plays a main role in the story of this confrontation.

Price: 8,700 VP for the entire set, 2,175 VP for the Phantom

10 – Ion Phantom

This skin cannot be called the most beautiful, but it certainly stands out with its unusual design. The Ion Phantom is designed in a futuristic style, reminiscent of alien movies with advanced technologies, where weapons and equipment are made in such a style. The developers were inspired by this for the skin, which becomes clear from the official trailer of the set, showing an unknown advanced city where all architecture is in the same style as the skins in the set.

Price: 7,100 VP for the entire set, 1,775 VP for the Phantom

11 – Doodle Buds Phantom

Next, we have a truly unique skin from the unique Doodle Buds collection. First of all, the set stands out for its price, which is 6,992 VP. The fact that the set does not include a melee weapon skin makes Doodle Buds the only collection of its kind.

Another feature is the skin's painting. In two other variations, blue and green, chibi characters from League of Legends are depicted, which receive colouring depending on the number of enemies killed.

Price: 6,992 VP for the entire set, 1,775 VP for the Phantom

12 – Chronovoid Phantom

We've already had cyberpunk on our list, so now it's time for steampunk. Although there are only three sets with such a theme in Valorant, Chronovoid is the best among them, which is why it made it to our list. The collection itself is quite simple in design but has a unique finishing animation, where the fifth killed enemy will be packed into the same sphere that is on the weapon itself.

Price: 8,700 VP for the entire set, 2,175 VP for the Phantom

13 – Abyssal Phantom

In our editorial opinion, the Abyssal set is underrated by both the community and the developers themselves. Its rarity is defined as Deluxe, although the skins and specifically the Abyssal Phantom are qualitatively designed with a water theme. The weapon is transparent water, and the bullets, like the main part, are designed in the style of seaweed.

Price: 5,100 VP for the entire set, 1,275 VP for the Phantom

14 – Smite Phantom

The cheapest set on our list, but that doesn't make it unattractive. The simply designed Smite Phantom carries a blue-aqua colour, and a lightning bolt runs across its entire surface. At the same time, stylish and inexpensive, this skin is worth buying during the rotation.

Price: 3,500 VP for the entire set, 875 VP for the Phantom

15 – Prism Phantom

Closing our list is the beautiful Phantom from the Prism set. Although this weapon doesn't have special effects, it's designed in a blue glossy colour, highlighting its simplicity. Interestingly, the second part of this set is designed in purple, but after its release, there was no option to change the appearance of the first part of the set.

Price: 5,100 VP for the entire set, 1,275 VP for the Phantom
