my first impression is just: have i not seen this skin before? Like all of these colors are literally, tigris, neo frontier default, xerofang gray, and hivemind purple. I'm not saying they have to be completely new, but it just feels like theres nothing new about this skinline Everything about it is just old skins combined into a ''new skin'' lol Both battlepass ones and other ones, idk not something I would buy but I can see some people liking it such as xerofang enjoyers
They basically took the animation that would be in the gun skin inspect or reload, and disconnected it and put it as it's own thing. The flex should be a part of the reload or inspect like elderflame.
It’s preference ig, I find myself pulling out the phone all the time during downtime, so at the beginning or end of the round or if I’m waiting for contact in a safe spot
yeah, even at 1775 the gun is super meh. We have to see the melee pricing and flex pricing to see what riot is trying to sell it all together. That's the big worry. Meh guns for 1775 then inflated prices on the cool parts to sell the bundle at ridiculous cost 🥲
@Vevix1337it will cost 1775 vp for each gun and 4350 vp for the kinfe just like xerofang. What's curious is the price for the flex alone (if it is even sold like a player card or a gun buddy) and the bundle as a whole.
yeah no I even love the fan they made the year before. I just meant they could have done much more appealing holiday skins (like Cryostatis but even better). Or neptune but better for summer themed skins, etc!
I think its simplicity isnt a bad thing. Xerofang is pretty simple and everyone i know loves it, myself included. Not everything needs to be hyper animated especially not for that 1775 price tag that it seems theyre going to have.
So far there are 3 flexes: Phone, Snowflake, Snake Given the phone is free, while since u get snokeflke in the bp it should be around 300-400vp, and since the snake is new in an actual bundle, it should be worth more and possibly around 500-700credits. Think about how sprays are normally priced, this very new and unique making it vauble for the time being. That being said, I do wonder how we can purchase a flex in the future if the bundle is gone.
@@TheLegend-um2ky idk though if they buff movement speed to knife speed I could see it being same cost as a gun skin, but you could just buy a flex instead of a knife and save money so that might be a new thing people do
Honestly its to be expected.. we did see a bump in the battlepass quality this season, and no matter what bump in quality cheap skins get the higher priced skins will inflate in value.. this time round they found a way to potentially make the bundles more expensive so i think really we can only expect higher prices from here on out. What we can do as consumers/content creators is keeping riot in check and make sure they give us something of high value each new release.. otherwise from a marketing standpoint they will only look at sales than community feedback.. so the feedback needs to be there in order for us to actually get something decent every new release.
personally, i bought the helix phantom only and I think it is worth it for 1775 VP like other premium skins, it's just that the whole bundle is expensive (i know oni phantom is much better in 1775 VP range but this skin is getting a lot of hate for no reason)
@shagnikdutta2248 if you like the skin, enjoy it!! - A lot of hate is coming from the Flex & pricing for the bundle as a whole. It’s not my favourite style-wise but if you like it; that’s all that matters! 1775vp is completely fine for a phantom skin
I swear this snake has to be 3D model they got from some website because Once Human legitimately has the same snake with the same animation on their lightforge loot create. The snake is part of a clothing bundle.
for me, i like lowkey but has personality skins like neptune. Helix seems a little too unoriginal but i love the lowkey direction they took (unlike elderflame and arcane i felt as if they had too much going on)
the purple reminded me of hivemind battlepass skin green looked like araxys in a way the gold and red reminded me of the tigres skin the black and blue def gives araxys vibe. I hate how my SOL knife design is now not unique with this skin coming out, but it is what it is.
i think you may just be hatin. the glow from the lights on the gun, as well as the whole thing moving scale by scale with the pull out is sick. can understand why a snake isn't moving around the gun during every reload. i could imagine the add of a flex could be equal parts money grab and also ability to keep frames stable with keeping the weapon normal.
biggest problem with newer skins is they're missing that extra mile to truly make it unique. This skin looks like we've seen it before, more then once even.
Yeah I wish it was a unique reload, but I think it looks really clean, especially the melee with the updated animations to make it more snake like, obviously I can judge perfectly without the price, but imo these would be good 1775-2175 skins, if they’re 2375 they definitely need the unique reload
i would like to point out this is a PREMIUM SKIN not a exclusive one so, compare this to oni, reaver, prime ect most of them dont even have reload animations so for a premium skin its kinda fire and if they do have reload its a trade between efffects and the animation, and previously premium skinlines have been reusing other exclusive bundle assests, if you buy just the guns and you have spare vp its kinda worth it.
Believe me or not if the price will be higher than we expected, well is intentional because they are interested in the number of players, money are on the 2nd place, those who have money will buy regardless of the price and those who will not probably will buy the battle pass (because anyone can afford it and it's a starter pack) and with the battle pass the players will spend more time on the game than usual, then players who play more than usual will bring other players who can be like them because well in a game like this communication is important and without it they feel alone, so the only question is if you will play or not after these because even if you take the battle pass, which produces addiction well also prepares you to make bigger investments, you will be blinded by addiction, you will think that the money is given for a purpose, for pleasure which in fact will be non-existent because you sold your soul for it, after somehow you will escape and realize the mistake and you will wish you could turn back in time and not spend that money, that's if you don't have access to Elon Musk's wealth =)))
this was a missed opportunity, we could have had a cool snake wrapped around our hand spitting venom similar to elderflame but we got this hard dried bull***
I am pretty sure riot is going the sci-fi route with Chinese new year skins now. Considering Xerofang had a similar vibe. I don't know what Riot is planning with holiday related skins...cause we haven't had winter themed skins in a long time now like you said.
it's like riot wants us to forget about the dragon skins (elderflame) where the frenzy has a dragon crawling up your arm... like why are the older skins better than the new ones??? I used to buy skins all the time but I haven't bought a bundle in a minute tbh
tbh its kind of reminding me of araxys just cause the reload and inspect are kinda the same, like araxys is amazing but the reload is default just like this skin but some stuff moves, same with the inspect
oh whoops. Honestly that makes it pretty bad too; the pullout animation does NOT fit this snake theme at all. Appreciate you pointing out my mistake though!
It should have animations like elderflame with a snake animation on the weapon. For how much these skins cost.. they should put a shit ton more effects and animations in them!
i do wish the ExO bundle had a flex as a release to flex being in the same patch of it, the possibilities could be endless but they decided to be lazy and greedy.
imagine when you inspect the skin it turns into the flex it self it would have been much cooler than whatever this is. Like imagine you press inspect and the dragon curls around your hand isntead of pulling out the flex
My idea is that they'll put the flex in instead of one gun skin (since we have no pistol skin here unlike every bundle) and since u have the flex they'll just leave the price as the other bundels imo
Your right to have that “Bad Feeling” it’s not a valorant thing it’s a “RIOT” thing they’ve been testing the waters for the past 2 years and seeing what they can get away with both on league and valorant and seeing what pushback comes there moving away from quality straight to what makes the most money and it’s getting really annoying
The bundle costs 6,940 VP and is categorized as a Premium edition bundle. Breakdown of individual items: Guns: 1,775 VP each (same as usual) Player card: 375 VP (same as usual) Spray: 325 VP (same as usual) Knife: 4,350 VP (should have been 3,550 VP) Gun buddy: 675 VP (should have been 475 VP) NEW: Helix (flex): 1,375 VP This bundle is priced outrageously. Normally, a Premium bundle includes 4 guns and a knife, with accessories like the player card, spray, and gun buddy included for free. The typical price for such a bundle is 7,100 VP. However, this bundle costs 6,940 VP and includes only 2 guns and a knife. While you do get the Helix (flex), it’s absurdly overpriced. If we assume the flex replaces one gun, that's still weird-it’s only a 160 VP difference, and you lose a gun. WTF, RIOT? REGARDING THE FLEX: For comparison, with the battle pass, you pay just 1,000 VP and you get the Stellar Dendrite FLEX, along with a lot more stuff.
The second variant reminds me of that other gun. The nocturnum. After Kuronamo, the prices for skins went crazy, so I just stopped buying and this isn't one that's going to make me start again
@@techedbirb6663 riot probably whought that if they make flexes ability speed, there would be no point in buying knives, the expensive part of bundles, if you can just get the flex, which probably will be really cheap, and just play around with that
why dont they just use the knife "detach-following animation" (sry idk what is it called) to the spectre and phantom reload animation? just make the magazine detach slowly from the gun, and attach new magazine with exact same animation but reverse + reaver hand-reload animation (that reload without touching the magazine)🤔
I think riot releasing bad skins for higher prices so this can set the currency at a higher amount...and when they release an actual good skin they can upcharge that bundle significantly
we got winter holiday stff once i think, and then the snowflake for jan ig. I assume its because Riot's main audience for both league and valorant is Asia Pacific (china). I don't see a problem with the fact they've only ever celebrated lunar new year consistently, there's probably a reason but its alr?
man Idk, Im definately gonna get the buddy since its green but Im considering the spectre even if its not crazy, I like the sounds quite a bit and could match it with the buddy
Ngl. I think, that the skin is fire. Yes, the lack of animation of the guns is sad, but I LOVE these moving pieces. It is the main reason, why I also love araxys and Singularity. Depending on the price, I might buy it. 😬
The purple variant gives me heavy hivemind collection vibes, which I like. Some people will, however, not be a fan bc it was just a battlepass collection, even though a good one. If its gonna cost 1775 VP, then Id say the skins are worth it, if not, then dont buy it, this is not an exclusive 2175 VP bundle.
I think theres too much hate on the skin line because, 1, u was complaining about the reload but it' s a premium tier skin, so if we compare it to other premium tiers its not bad, Xero Fang barely had animations on the gun. Its a premium skin so we cant expect it to have exclusive tier animations. Unless riot bumps up exclusive tier animations to premium, so premium tier will be as good as exclusive
Gotta be honest, as the EX.O bundle was so overpriced, I was expecting this to cost 2175 vp and be so damn disappointed. But seeing it as premium skin, hoping it will be 1775 vp, i got surprised, ngl (still kinda overpriced 1775 vp for some pixels but yk it's Valorant)
Good thing is that the skin is showed to be the same as Reaver level quality, so maybe price will be around reaver bundle price. (What I mean by this is the triangle at the top). All I'm saying is maybe riot finally f*cking listened
No they did not. The bundle is only 2 guns, one melee, and the flex thing. If this shit costs the same as the whole Reaver bundle did, Riot really lost it.
It’s basicly like sovereign to forsaken but snake to Xerofang i personally really like it and it’s a premium so u can’t really complain on the price as much just my opinion
I think i regret a few bundles i bought when i was younger and at this point im just done with how expensive val skins are. I know its impossible but if they bring proces down of bundls i hope they at least give us radianite as compensation if you bought skins.
At least, it's purple tier, not like *ekhem* exo bundle. Orange tier but doesn't have fancy reload or inspect animation, just finisher but that so over price for me. My prediction about the prize of this bundle maybe between 6000 VP or 7000 VP, around 6500 VP is strong too because we just get 2 skin, 1 melee and flex.
Ah, I see what Riot is doing now. Last year was The Year of The Dragon in Chinese Zodiac, so they released the "Dragon" bundle Zerofang. This year is The Year of The Snake so they're releasing the "Snake" Helix. Interesting.
Regardless of price, Valorant starting off 2025 with an L imo
We’ve started off with 2 L’s EX-O & this
i really like the knife tho
Yes
Fr
5100 😅😅
my first impression is just: have i not seen this skin before?
Like all of these colors are literally, tigris, neo frontier default, xerofang gray, and hivemind purple.
I'm not saying they have to be completely new, but it just feels like theres nothing new about this skinline
Everything about it is just old skins combined into a ''new skin'' lol
Both battlepass ones and other ones, idk not something I would buy but I can see some people liking it such as xerofang enjoyers
These are all xerofang colors besides the green
Don’t forget the same pull out as evori spectre and a default reload. Valorant is going downhill
the skin gives Araxys vibes
ur right but i have no idea where u got neo frontier from they definitely took inspiration from doombringer araxys and xerofang though
@@jimmenycricketsfan54Bro what are you on about 😭
XERØFANG had a default reload and I don't see y'all complaining
They basically took the animation that would be in the gun skin inspect or reload, and disconnected it and put it as it's own thing. The flex should be a part of the reload or inspect like elderflame.
DEADASS
facts
fr fr
This is what i tought off but it should be the inspect of the knife
That would be a bad thing if you having the flex would change the animations of the weapon and include it.
Am I the only one who thinks many skins nowadays are just araxys rip offs?
Nope bcz they are
just worse versions of the araxys
glad im not the only one
I don't see how.
The purple variant is the same shade I guess.
The only skin I associate with Araxys is Xerofang.
@@Eshtianthe reloading animation of helix has the side scales sort of opening up and glowing.... Hm Feels sorta similar
I can tell that the skin team has had a lot of inspiration... from the battlepass.
These new flex things are worthless so long as the movement speed is less than knife speed cause I'll never use them.
I don't think they'll ever increase the movement speed tho cuz if they do then their knife sales will go down
It’s preference ig, I find myself pulling out the phone all the time during downtime, so at the beginning or end of the round or if I’m waiting for contact in a safe spot
@@funkierblum "it really is that damn phone."
what's flex?
Well the individual skins are gonna be 1775 cause it's premium tier in the inventory
yeah, even at 1775 the gun is super meh. We have to see the melee pricing and flex pricing to see what riot is trying to sell it all together. That's the big worry. Meh guns for 1775 then inflated prices on the cool parts to sell the bundle at ridiculous cost 🥲
@Dittozkul what would you think of the bundle if its the same price as the xerofang bundle?

@Vevix1337it will cost 1775 vp for each gun and 4350 vp for the kinfe just like xerofang.
What's curious is the price for the flex alone (if it is even sold like a player card or a gun buddy) and the bundle as a whole.
@@Dittozkul all that and you still don’t get a seat at choosing the cost :sob:
I agree with the point on the lack of other holiday skins but zero fang is timeless compared to the Christmas skins
yeah no I even love the fan they made the year before. I just meant they could have done much more appealing holiday skins (like Cryostatis but even better). Or neptune but better for summer themed skins, etc!
I won't be surprised if the entire game and eSports scene were made just to improve the image of China worldwide.
its like the art team just makes knives and then remembers guns exist
I think its simplicity isnt a bad thing. Xerofang is pretty simple and everyone i know loves it, myself included. Not everything needs to be hyper animated especially not for that 1775 price tag that it seems theyre going to have.
The knife actually has a unique right click animation from the relic stone daggers

pretty sure it gona be exculsive just like buddies from bundles
I think this flex is going to be 1k
@easystevan 1k makes sense given the custom animations and lack of advantage like what the melee has. That said, they'll probs inflate it anyway
@@TheLegend-um2ky idk though if they buff movement speed to knife speed I could see it being same cost as a gun skin, but you could just buy a flex instead of a knife and save money so that might be a new thing people do
it looks like a buffed version of tigris
Helix finisher is the same as the imperium finisher but with a snake.

guys i came from the future the flex is gona cost the same as the guns
it looks like a battle pass skin without the animations ngl
The fact that I'm more excited for the leaked smite 2.0 than this is crazy work
personally, i bought the helix phantom only and I think it is worth it for 1775 VP like other premium skins, it's just that the whole bundle is expensive (i know oni phantom is much better in 1775 VP range but this skin is getting a lot of hate for no reason)

If you hear even a whisper of a new thing in valorant You just know that there is already a dittoskull video on it
You know it's bad when the only thing saving your community from raging is the PRICE
That ain't no snake Dittoz, that's a cyber dragon man....

Would've been nice to have a Judge in this bundle (they could even use the Elderflame animations bro, that would fit the Snake thing)
i just realized this bundle is basically a lunar new year for year of the snake bundle
the purple reminded me of hivemind battlepass skin
green looked like araxys in a way
the gold and red reminded me of the tigres skin
the black and blue def gives araxys vibe.
I hate how my SOL knife design is now not unique with this skin coming out, but it is what it is.

they took concept from 2022-2023 and just made this, it does look old af
they should have added viper's poison chamber or reload in the gun would have been cool
biggest problem with newer skins is they're missing that extra mile to truly make it unique. This skin looks like we've seen it before, more then once even.

3:52
Original - sovereign/forsaken
Gold - champions
Purple - reaver
I understand where you coming from with the "where is my snake" stuff but if you look at the xerofang guns its the same feeling looking back on it
no winter or Christmas themed bundle RIOT really shows that ten
cent really influences them
5:10 it might have sci-fi sounds perhaps because its a robot snake
Valorant has kinda hit a plateau in creativity. Only minor variations here and there, but still similar enough to recognize.
i would like to point out this is a PREMIUM SKIN not a exclusive one so, compare this to oni, reaver, prime ect most of them dont even have reload animations so for a premium skin its kinda fire and if they do have reload its a trade between efffects and the animation, and previously premium skinlines have been reusing other exclusive bundle assests, if you buy just the guns and you have spare vp its kinda worth it.
I don't think it's a bad pack, for the price and considering that it is the same type as the xerofang pack, they are pretty good skins
8:18 I think that, like the buddies, when you reach a rank the next episode you can get a flex of the rank. Like an iron rank in your hand
Believe me or not if the price will be higher than we expected, well is intentional because they are interested in the number of players, money are on the 2nd place, those who have money will buy regardless of the price and those who will not probably will buy the battle pass (because anyone can afford it and it's a starter pack) and with the battle pass the players will spend more time on the game than usual, then players who play more than usual will bring other players who can be like them because well in a game like this communication is important and without it they feel alone, so the only question is if you will play or not after these because even if you take the battle pass, which produces addiction well also prepares you to make bigger investments, you will be blinded by addiction, you will think that the money is given for a purpose, for pleasure which in fact will be non-existent because you sold your soul for it, after somehow you will escape and realize the mistake and you will wish you could turn back in time and not spend that money, that's if you don't have access to Elon Musk's wealth =)))
I REALLY like how it looks it’s completely my style but if they price it higher than xerofang I’m fucking RIOTin
Get it cuz RIOT.. you know like the dev team… ok that wasn’t funny
We should have complained at starting for valorant about crazy prices
People always did,
And that's why riot removed replication and snow ball fight
this was a missed opportunity, we could have had a cool snake wrapped around our hand spitting venom similar to elderflame but we got this hard dried bull***
I am pretty sure riot is going the sci-fi route with Chinese new year skins now. Considering Xerofang had a similar vibe. I don't know what Riot is planning with holiday related skins...cause we haven't had winter themed skins in a long time now like you said.
I feel like the main thing you have to compare it to is Xerofang, as they are direct parallels for being released for the same purpose
We got valorant inflation before gta 6 😂

Its a premium skin so we cant expect it to have exclusive tier animations. Unless riot bumps up exclusive tier animations to premium, so premium tier will be as good as exclusive
Gotta be honest, as the EX.O bundle was so overpriced, I was expecting this to cost 2175 vp and be so damn disappointed. But seeing it as premium skin, hoping it will be 1775 vp, i got surprised, ngl (still kinda overpriced 1775 vp for some pixels but yk it's Valorant)
Good thing is that the skin is showed to be the same as Reaver level quality, so maybe price will be around reaver bundle price. (What I mean by this is the triangle at the top).
All I'm saying is maybe riot finally f*cking listened
No they did not. The bundle is only 2 guns, one melee, and the flex thing. If this shit costs the same as the whole Reaver bundle did, Riot really lost it.
It’s basicly like sovereign to forsaken but snake to Xerofang i personally really like it and it’s a premium so u can’t really complain on the price as much just my opinion
If anything, i'd want a fluffy kitty or a cute puppy or bunny as a Flex, with the character idle petting it
I think i regret a few bundles i bought when i was younger and at this point im just done with how expensive val skins are. I know its impossible but if they bring proces down of bundls i hope they at least give us radianite as compensation if you bought skins.
At least, it's purple tier, not like *ekhem* exo bundle. Orange tier but doesn't have fancy reload or inspect animation, just finisher but that so over price for me. My prediction about the prize of this bundle maybe between 6000 VP or 7000 VP, around 6500 VP is strong too because we just get 2 skin, 1 melee and flex.
57 seconds is crazy
Does better than you
@@ellipseyt2841 whut?
Community gotta rebel at somepoint and not buy a bundle so riot can see the price is too much
imperium finisher + araxys design? honestly when will they become original 😭
I wonder if the flex is going to start replacing sprays in certain bundles, or if they'll do both and inflate the price.
honestly the purple one kinda reminds me of devourer of gods from terraria calamity mod
They should have added some cool hissing sound effects for headshots which is bare minimum efforts anyone wants to be put in premium skins.
It has entirely new killbanner. And I can hear very distinct hiss in it. 🐍
the daggers remind me of primordium
Ah, I see what Riot is doing now. Last year was The Year of The Dragon in Chinese Zodiac, so they released the "Dragon" bundle Zerofang. This year is The Year of The Snake so they're releasing the "Snake" Helix. Interesting.
Battlepass skin with animatioms
the exact same snake as the 'flex' is in the finisher AND it has different colour variants, but the flex is only forced as green?
This thing looks like hivemind with upgrades
