The Spectre is among the highest picked weapons right after the pistol round is over if the team ended on a win. An SMG with a high fire rate and a knack for supporting running-and-gunning, the Spectre in Valorant has been a menace for many players and for good reason.
It costs only 1,600 credits in the game and can be rather difficult to counter because the user can spray and hit headshots while moving. The same cannot be achieved with a rifle like the Vandal or the Phantom with the same accuracy.
In this article, we will be separating all the Spectre skins in Valorant in different tiers.
Note: This list is subjective and solely reflects the opinions of the writer.
All Valorant Spectre skins tier list ranked from best to worst
These Valorant Spectre skins will be ranked from tier S to tier D with the latter being some of the least appealing skins in the game. The S tier, then naturally consists of skins that have the highest demand in the game because of reasons ranging from popularity to the overall aesthetic inside the game.
These Spectre skins are classified into five different tiers.
- S tier (Best)
- A tier (Good)
- B tier (Average)
- C tier (Disappointment)
- D tier (Not recommended)
S tier
The S tier consists of the most elite, demanded, and popular Spectre skins in Valorant. These skins have some of the best finishers, sound design, variants, and unique animations.
All of the factors combined give them an upper hand when it comes to having a Unique Selling Point and hence are some of the most purchased skins in the game for the particular weapon. This tier has the following skins:
- BlastX
- Ion
- Kuronami
- Magepunk
- Prime
- Protocol 781-A
- RGX 11z Pro
- Ruination
- Singularity
- Recon
A tier
The A tier consist of other Spectre skins with interesting animations, sound effects, and aesthetic designs that are brilliant but just not as much as the guns in the S tier.
These skins are perfect to buy because of their high-grade cosmetic value but compared to the S tier, they become the second option. The skins are:
- Sentinels of Light
- Reaver
- Radiant Crisis 001
- Primordium
- Neptune
- Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster
- Forsaken
B-tier
The B tier consists of many popular skins without animation effects. These lack finishers and even unique sounds to them. However, it is their aesthetic and color scheme that helps them become popular to players still.
These skins also have an unbeatable design which still looks brilliant without special effects making them high in demand after the upper tiers:
- Soulstrife
- Spline
- Comet
- Infinity
- Velocity
- Sandswept
C-tier
The C tier in the Valorant Spectre skin tier list consists of the lesser popular skins. These guns have interesting designs but they fall flat compared to the other tiers. The only upper hand these skins have over the final tier is that some of them have an interesting aesthetic and that they offer variants.
These are not the worst skins in the game but certainly far from the best:
- Striker
- Starlit Odyssey
- Fiber Optic
- Monstrocity
- Aero
- Wasteland
- VALORANT GO! Vol. 1
- Sarmad
- Prism
- NO LIMITS
- Minima
- Luna
- Intergrade
- Infantry
- Emberclad
- Hivemind
D-tier
The D tier consists of some of the most unpopular Spectre skins in Valorant. These skins did not catch any interest from players. The reasons could range from having bland designs, a lack of effects, color schemes that did not appeal to the masses, and many others.
Many of these skins are from the battle pass and also have no variants which makes it worse for them all:
- Tigris
- Luxe
- Horizon
- Convex
- Avalanche
- Abyssal
- Blush
- Freehand
- Hue Shift
- Kingdom
- POLYfrog
- Serenity
- Shellspire
- Venturi
These were all the Valorant Spectre skins including exclusive bundles as well as skins from the Battle Pass. The S tier skins are some of the most bought and recommended skins and then, this level of appeal slowly start deteriorating as the list goes on.
Buying skins from the first two tiers should be a no-brainer, and then, as the list progresses, perhaps a steady approach is advisable with the purchases.
