· This content selects a tier list for Vandal skins released up to April 7, 2026.
· We've updated content from early 2025 to include the latest skins.

· The RGX Vandal is loved by many users for its incredibly satisfying hit feel and outstanding effects.
· It's also my personal favorite and has been selected as Tier 1.

· While not quite on par with RGX, the Primordium Vandal offers quality close to Tier 1.
· Personally, I'd rate it about 90 points compared to the RGX Vandal at 100, and the white and blue color scheme is particularly beautiful.

· The Prime Vandal was very popular in the past for its incredibly satisfying hit feel, but with the release of many superior skins, it's now rated as Tier 2.

· The Oni Vandal is characterized by its unique hollow sound, giving the impression of an empty barrel.
· While the recoil might feel spread out during sprays, it performs well for single shots or bursts of two.

· The Reaver Vandal has been around since Valorant's beta days, making it a classic.
· It can feel a bit off when spraying.

· The Exoskeleton Vandal provides satisfaction with its flashy effects and hit feel upon first use, but the sound can become tiresome over time.
· The effects and hit feel are stimulating, but you might get tired of it with prolonged use.

· The Gaia's Vengeance Vandal was hugely popular upon release for its light hit feel and demon effect.
· While it might feel a bit lacking compared to newer skins, it's still considered a good skin, and I personally classify it as Tier 2.

· The Kuronami Vandal features a beautiful design and cool reload and finisher animations.
· However, because the visuals draw attention away from the gun itself, it can feel like the gun isn't hitting accurately during actual combat. You tend to land more body shots.

· The Magepunk Vandal is often criticized for its somewhat disappointing appearance.
· It's hard to find any particular advantages in its sound or hit feel compared to other skins.

· Initially, the Singularity Vandal felt difficult to aim with, but after consistent use, the synchronization with the gun's sound made it feel incredibly accurate.
· It's one of the skins I've used the most personally.

· The Overdrive Vandal has a 'thwack' sound upon firing and feels like the gun shoots slightly slower, but it's incredibly accurate for single shots.
· It's easy to get into the rhythm of the gun, which can be advantageous in clutch situations.

· The Glitchpop Vandal is known for being very accurate when spraying and feeling lightweight.
· Similar to Gaia's Vengeance, it offers a light hit feel and sound.

· The Sentinel of Light Vandal's hit feel is somewhat blurry, but this actually gives it a laser-like feel, making it very accurate for sprays and headshots.
· It feels like it hits wherever you aim, making aiming incredibly easy.

· Despite its appearance, the Aemondir Vandal feels light, and you can feel the recoil with a 'thump-thump' sound when firing.
· It shoots lightly and accurately even in rapid fire.

· The Araxys Vandal has an incredibly powerful hit feel upon first use, potentially earning it a Tier 1 spot, but the sound can become irritating over time.
· Users who prefer stimulating sounds might rank it higher.

· The Jinx Vandal is a limited edition skin, and its appearance is considered somewhat disappointing.
· If it weren't limited edition, its purchase value wouldn't be very high.

· The Ion Vandal was considered a decent skin upon release, but its usage has decreased over time.

· There were viewer suggestions to move the Chaos and Primordium skins up to Tier 1.
· I emphasize that this is my subjective opinion, and we discussed expanding the tier list categories.

· The '21 Champions Vandal has a very appealing kill sound, and its finisher animation is considered legendary.
· It's frequently used in tournaments, and it's noted for feeling weighty rather than light.

· The Cryostasis Vandal is rated as having a better shooting feel than the Kuronami Vandal.
· The 'dong-beong-beong' kill sound and the gun sound, which adds a metallic touch to the base skin, are appealing.

· The 2023 Champions Vandal is a grand-feeling skin with an outstanding finisher animation and background music.
· The finisher and the song, in particular, still leave a strong impression.

· The Valiant Hero Vandal is positioned ahead of the Aemondir, and it hits headshots well with two-shot bursts.
· The 'tang-tang' sound when firing is pleasant.

· The Poseidon Vandal has the advantage of offering the feel of the Sorin Vandal simultaneously.
· Especially when using the yellow chroma, the bullets fired are a mix of black and blue, providing visual satisfaction.

· The Orb & Dagger Vandal has the advantage of allowing you to customize the skin to your desired style.
· Among the various styles, the 'Gaeko' style suited me personally.

· The Phase Guard Vandal is a very well-made skin, and its rhythmic firing makes it advantageous in clutch situations.
· The clear kill sound helps in understanding the game flow.

· The Reaver Vandal is a recently released skin that feels accurate when spraying and gives a refreshing sensation.
· It might fall short in pure gunfights.

· When the Origin Vandal was first released, its spinning effect was impressive, but it's rated as not very accurate in actual combat.
· The spinning effect looks cool in the inspect mode.

· The Elderflame Vandal was a top-tier skin in its early days, but it's now somewhat outclassed by other skins.

· The Zero Point Vandal is characterized by its unique sound, like firing an alien gun, and its effect that looks like an energy wave.
· It's a skin that deserves a mid-to-high tier ranking.

· The Water Gun Vandal feels light and refreshing, making it great for summer use.
· It's suitable for players who prefer an arcade-like feel and provides clear feedback upon kills.
