Best Marshal skins

All 48 Marshal skins, ranked by content tier, upgrade levels and variants — what you receive, rather than what we happen to like.

How this ranking works

Content tier first, then number of upgrade levels, then colour variants. That measures what a skin actually gives you — animations, finishers, audio, recolours.

It deliberately does not measure how good a skin looks, because that isn’t rankable. A Select skin can be far better designed than an Ultra one; it just carries less behind it.

Common questions

What is the best Marshal skin in VALORANT?

By what you actually receive, Nocturnum Marshal — it's Exclusive tier with 4 upgrade levels and 4 variants. Whether it's the best-looking is a different question, and one nobody can answer for you.

How many Marshal skins are there?

48, across every content tier. Tier decides the price band and the ceiling on effects rather than the quality of the art.

Do expensive Marshal skins perform better?

No. Every skin in VALORANT is purely cosmetic — no skin changes damage, spray pattern, or anything else that affects a fight. Higher tiers buy effects, audio and animations, not an advantage.
