Riot Games has revealed the effects and features for the Valorant Champions 2024 phantom and melee included in the bundle, which is set to release on August 1.
Champions bundles have included some unique effects that make the high price worth the cost over the years, and the 2024 edition is no different.
The newest tournament-specific cosmetics will have special kill banners at the bottom of the screen, tracking how many kills players earn over a round by filling in the VCT logo. When a player gets an ace, the logo will light up fully.
The VCT logo on the back of the gun will track the player’s kills throughout the match, filling in part of the design every three eliminations up to 24.
The Champions aura is also returning, meaning the Phantom skin will glow when the play holding it has the most kills in the lobby. When the VCT logo is filled in while that player has the most kills in the lobby, the skin will get the same gold finish as the Valorant Champions trophy.
The finisher for the Phantom is also a spectacle, as it will showcase every enemy the player killed in a “supernova explosion” suspended alongside the Champions trophy.

Players can also shoot the asteroids that spawn with the finisher, and stand inside it to pose under the trophy.
The other part of the bundle is the melee, which is a katana. The knife gets the same Champions aura and cracked gold texture as the Phantom when players are the kill leader of the lobby and notch 24 eliminations.
The melee also has a unique inspect animation and right click that distinguishes it from the other katana melees in Valorant.
The bundle will cost 6167 Valorant Points, or about $65, according to leaks. The full price breakdown for the individual aspects of the bundle is below:
- Phantom: 2675VP
- Melee: 5350 VP
- Spray: 325 VP
