Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have:
- Valorant installed on your PC (with Vanguard running)
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
- A FrostChanger account (free to create)
- 5 minutes of your time
No special technical knowledge is required. The process is designed to be beginner-friendly.
Step 1: Create Your FrostChanger Account
Visit frostchanger.com and sign up with your email or use Google/Discord for quick registration. No personal information beyond email is needed.
Step 2: Choose illusion or elsify
FrostChanger offers two Valorant tools:
- illusion - Full-featured Valorant skin changer with the complete skin library and an intuitive selector interface
- elsify - API-based tool with a lighter footprint for maximum safety
Both give you access to every Valorant skin. Choose illusion for the best experience or elsify if you prefer minimal system impact.
Step 3: Download & Install
After choosing your plan:
- Go to your FrostChanger dashboard
- Click "Download" next to your chosen tool
- Run the installer - one-click setup handles everything
- The tool configures itself to work alongside Vanguard automatically
Important: Do NOT disable Vanguard. illusion and elsify are designed to work WITH Vanguard running normally.
Step 4: Select Your Skins
With the tool installed:
- Open the skin selector
- Browse Valorant's full skin collection by bundle or weapon
- Select skins for Vandal, Phantom, Operator, Sheriff, melee, and all other weapons
- Choose specific skin variants and color options
- Selections save automatically
All premium bundles are available: RGX 11z Pro, Champions, Reaver, Glitchpop, Spectrum, Sentinels of Light, Ion, Prime, Elderflame, and every other collection Riot has released.
Step 5: Launch Valorant & Play
With skins selected:
- Launch Valorant through Riot Client as normal
- Your selected skins appear in-game immediately
- Play any mode - competitive, unrated, deathmatch, spike rush
- Enjoy your dream loadout!
Skins are client-side only. You see them, other players see your default weapons. This is what keeps it safe and undetectable.
