Valorant Judge tier list: All skins ranked from worst to best

The Valorant Judge gun is a brilliant shotgun and the only automatic shotgun in the whole game. It has a firing rate much hire than the other shotguns available and is a mid to short range weapon. The fire power that’s backed by the weapon makes it a superior weapon in small and tight spaces such as B Window on Bind. It costs 1,850 credits in the game and can be bought during a low-buy or right after the pistol round.

In terms of cosmetics, the Judge may not have as much variety as other weapons like the Spectre. However, its collection seems to be growing with new additions in every patch.

This article delves deep into a tier list featuring all the Judge skins in Valorant ranked from worst to best.

Valorant Judge tier list: Ranking all skins from best to worst

The Valorant Judge tier list consists of five tiers. Starting from the S tier and all the way down to the D tier with the former being some of the best Judge skins in the game and the latter having skins that just did not catch on.

The list consists of all the weapon skins the game has to offer for the gun from exlusive in-game bundles to guns obtained from the battle pass.

The S tier consists the best of the best Valorant Judge skins. These skins sit at the top of the list because they have unmatched finishers, clean designs, amazing sound effects and unique animation. All of these factors combined give these skins an edge over the others making them some of the best out there.

The S tier skins for Judge are:

• ChronoVoid
• Elderflame
• Glitchpop
• Mystbloom

A tier

The A tier consists of other rather popular skins which are still great purchasing options. However, they lag behind in terms of their overall appeal because the S tier guns just trump these designs. Some of tese guns have finishers and unique animations while some dont:

• Imperium
• Sovereign
• Celestial

B tier

The B tier consists of many Valorant Judge skins which happen to have just about no finisher or unique animation. This is primarily the reason that these skins are less popular than the upper tiers.

However, when it comes to more affordable skins without any effects, these are the most popular and can be considered worthy budget purchases. Many of these come with the battle pass. These skins are:

• Crimsonbeast
• Kohaku & Matsuba
• MK.VII Liberty
• .EXE
• Divine Swine
• Shimmer

C tier

The C tier involves many Judge skin designs that failed to appeal to the fans. A plus point many of these skins still have is that they come with variants which introduces options that fans can use in the game.

However, for skins without any special effects, these are just not as appealing as the B tier. The main reason then has to do with the aesthetic appeal of these guns just not catching on. The C tier skins are:

• Team Ace
• Bound
• Coalition: Cobra
• Digihex
• Iridian Thorn
• Jigsaw
• Prism III
• Tilde

---

D tier

Finally, these D tier skins have the least appeal in the game. These skins, mostly coming from the battle pass do not offer any variants, unique animations, or any other special effects. Moreover, these also have an aesthetic that isn’t entirely unique or outstanding in its own right.

These reasons combined make these skins less popular than all the others. These are:

• Varnish
• Silhouette
• Serenity
• POLYfox
• Piedra del Sol
• Hydrodip
• Gridcrash
• Goldwing
• Undercity
• Snowfall
• Smite
• Sensation
• Rush
• Luxe
• Convex
• Daydreams
