The Magepunk Ghost with the Level 7 upgrade is one of the most aesthetically pleasing new Valorant skins from March 2021’s releases. While the Ghost might not be the best weapon in the game, the skin is very beautiful and a must-have if you love the Magepunk theme.

Price: 875 VP

While the Ares and Odin get a lot of hate from players at times because they are “noob friendly”, there is no denying that the Infantry Ares skin is a sight to behold. Riot Games took a leap of faith with the entire Infantry collection and added skins that are a far cry from what you would expect from most Valorant skin releases. While heavy weapons might not be the best in the meta, the Infantry Ares is a very subtle and elegant skin for fans of the weapon.
