Why This Matters

Smite has always held a special place in Valorant’s community. It debuted back in September 2020 and has since become a fan-favorite skin for its bold colors, electric energy, and meme-worthy legacy.

Now, with Smite 2 pushing the design to new heights and Bolt entering the fray with animated finishers and new effects, there’s never been a better time to honor the skins that lit up our lobbies.
