Riot Games has given us a look at what to expect from the VALORANT Champions 2022 Skin Line that is set to release on August 23.

This limited edition Champions 2022 skin, which will not return to the rotating store or night market, embodies what it means to be a Champion through a set of aspirational features designed to reward top-tier play. From August 23 to September 21, 50% of net proceeds from the Champions 2022 Collection will go to the participating teams.

This year’s skin includes a custom model change and two new features as part of the Champion’s Aura: a visual effect that evolves every 5 kills (maxing out at 25 kills), and a special easter egg on the butterfly knife that triggers if you’re top fragging and have at least 25 kills.
