All 104 Vandal skins, ranked by content tier, upgrade levels and variants — what you receive, rather than what we happen to like.
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 is not rankable. A Select skin can be far better designed than an Ultra one; it just carries less behind it.

By what you actually receive, ORA by OneTap Vandal — it is Ultra tier with 5 upgrade levels and 1 variants. Whether it is the best-looking is a different question, and one nobody can answer for you.
104, across every content tier. Tier decides the price band and the ceiling on effects rather than the quality of the art.
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.
