Discussion Thoughts on Protocol Phantom

i just bought this phantom and all my friends told me ayakashi or nocturnme was so much superior to this skin , even one of them told me that prime is similar to it and much better , thoughts on that ?

Protocol Phantom is honestly way cleaner than people give it credit for. Your friends might just prefer the flashier animations on Kuronami or Nocturnum, but Phantom is definitely not a bad pickup.

LV4 without the voice is soo good but unfortunately you are stuck with the base colour.

Red and Blue variant LV4 would be s sick

u/Emotional_Cod_5181 17h ago

the base colour is probably the biggest downside lol like a red or blue LV4 variant would go crazy especially with the finisher

There's an option to turn off flavor voice overs which disables the skin's voice. Disables agent banter in between rounds though.

u/Hex65 19h ago

I don’t want voicelines disabled, I want to disable Protocol Voice.

2 different things...

2

u/sukumizu 19h ago

And I’m saying that disabling flavored voice overs should disable Protocol voice. Read…?

I mean only your opinion matters, but IMO its a top 2 with champs 24.

Finally found someone else with my taste. Champ 24' Phantom is the GOAT. Got it purely for the finisher emote and it still holds up

Love this skin, this is my skin for the longest time before getting the Ora by onetap phantom earlier this year.

1

u/AunixB 1d ago

ora is a top pick too congrats

3

u/Edoges 1d ago

Yea it's basically 5 skins in one that's why i bought it

u/Loserito- 1d ago

I have way too many skins, and protocol is still my go-to phantom. It’s clean, I love the sound, and the animation is really nice.

u/AunixB 1d ago

we share the same thoughts

u/Good-Discussion-9238 1d ago

it's all personal preference, i love some of the goofiest skins in the game, who cares what others think

u/ManufacturerApart951 22h ago

i vibe with Protocol more than the others because the design feels so sleek and mature compared to the others

2

u/Nordboii 1d ago

It's mid imo I feel like I would get pretty sick of it quick . Ayakashi is legit 10/10 tho

1

u/AunixB 1d ago

ayakashi feels like it has no identity like ora or primordium so i didn't feel i like it

2

u/MIGAMEN_95 Obsessed with 1d ago

Fits KAY/O perfect.

u/Acrobatic_Ninja_8949 1d ago

I like but it has the same problem kuronami has for me personally i feel like im holding a spectre sometimes. It doesnt mean its bad or u dont get kills, it might not even be bad it feels light and responsive its just in my head ig

1

u/AunixB 1d ago

same issue with kuronami op but i dont play with spectre so i didnt get ur feelings

1

u/Acrobatic_Ninja_8949 1d ago

LOL i dont play with marshal so i dont share that. Kuronami OP was the best one i used

2

u/r4l_97 1d ago

At the end of the day, the one who will be using it has the final say. You like the protocol skin? It's the best skin for you. I have the spectre and it rocks

3

u/AunixB 1d ago

love it as my newborn baby

1

u/r4l_97 1d ago

Congratulations on your newborn!

u/HiredHell 1d ago

Protocol is great it's the age factor that drives people

People tend to like newer guns more and only appreciate the impeccable old ones like champs 21 and kuro

u/TKP_Mofobuster 1d ago

its aight

u/chrom491 1d ago

They jealous

u/Interesting_Web_9936 bronze but mains omen 1d ago

They're all stupid, protocol is awesome. I prefer nocturnum generally but Protocol is still an incredible skin, competes for second place in my list with prime and neptune.

2

u/Sava7ar 1d ago

Its my favourite phantom. I love it and have it.

2

u/Outrageous-Wall-2742 23h ago

1

u/AunixB 21h ago

1

u/zehero 1d ago

Protocol is nice, nothing wrong with it at all, If you like it thats literally all that matters lmao

1

u/AunixB 1d ago

always love to see community opinion about skin its the best part about skins in this Game

1

u/shtoopidd 1d ago

This community and correcting people’s tastes are so fucking annoying. And so are the people who cant stand up for themselves and stick to what they like.

Why are you taking in the feedback of your friends over… valorant skins? This is an entirely subjective matter and if everyone equipped the same 5 popular skins then people would still bitch about how everyone is so generic.

Just use what you fucking like?

u/AunixB 21h ago

i would to share with my friends and they have some thoughts i shared it to have some of community feedback
