VALORANT Champions 2026 Skins Bring a Side-Switching Phantom
The Champions collection pairs a Phantom with a folding-fan melee, while reported pricing needs a final check in your regional store.

The Champions 2026 collection gives VALORANT players a Phantom and a fan-style melee tied to this year's Shanghai tournament. Coverage published in September describes a side-switching design: pearl white on defense and black on attack.
Shane the Gamer's September 17 report, updated September 18, links Riot's reveal trailer and describes the melee opening into a folding fan during its inspect animation. The collection's imagery draws on Sage and Viper, with dragon and snake elements in the accompanying effects.
CONTENTS AND REPORTED PRICE
Strafe's September 20 update lists the Phantom, fan melee, three player cards, a gun buddy and a spray. It reports a bundle price of 6,640 VP, with the Phantom at 2,675 VP and the fan at 5,350 VP. These figures are attributed reporting, not a price independently checked in the live client.
The same report places the release on September 22 or 23, depending on location. As of this October 2 draft, the regional store and its remaining offer timer have not been verified. Check the client before making a purchase; this article does not establish a current purchase deadline.
This is a news overview based on published coverage, rather than a hands-on skin review.
