Valorant Finishers Explained: Every Kill Effect in 2026

Finishers are special kill effects that trigger when you get the last kill of a round in Valorant. They're exclusive to Premium and Ultra Edition skins and are one of the most sought-after features. Here's everything you need to know.

What Are Valorant Finishers?

A finisher is a custom death animation that plays when you get the last kill of a round. Instead of the enemy simply falling to the ground, they're consumed by a special visual effect tied to your weapon skin. Only the player who equipped the skin sees the full finisher animation.

Finishers are different from kill banners (which appear on screen when you get a kill) and sound effects (which play on every kill). Together, these three elements create the complete "kill experience" that makes premium skins worth their price.

Best Valorant Finishers

1. Elderflame — The enemy is consumed by dragonfire and disintegrates into ash. The most dramatic finisher in the game.
2. Reaver — A dark portal opens beneath the enemy, pulling their soul into the void. Ghostly and atmospheric.
3. Singularity — The enemy is pulled into a miniature black hole and compressed into nothing.
4. Ion — The enemy dissolves into blue energy particles that scatter into the air.
5. Glitchpop — The enemy glitches and fragments before exploding into digital debris.
6. Champions — A golden explosion with VCT confetti. The celebration finisher.
7. RGX — Digital disintegration with RGB light effects.
8. Oni — A demonic face appears as the enemy dissolves in dark energy.

Which Skins Have Finishers?

Finishers are only available on Premium Edition (1,775 VP) and Ultra Edition (2,475 VP) skins, and only when fully upgraded with Radianite Points. Select and Deluxe Edition skins never include finishers.

This means you need to spend $17-25 per skin plus additional Radianite just to unlock the finisher effect — one of the main reasons players look for alternatives.
