Sometimes, being straightforward enoughwith the intent to shootis what works best, and this is whatAsunahas to offer in the form of a crosshair. Appearing as literally a white cross almost as thin as a hair, Asuna’s crosshair is almost invisible unless looked at carefully and takes the form of a small white cross at the center of the screen.
This, of course, makes a complete disruption of one’s vision when compared to the graphics of the game, making this choice of crosshair quite good when shooting pinpoint parts of the enemy.

One of the most interesting approaches to crosshairs inValorantmay have to do withShahZam,utilizing the game’s thicker approachto character models in their crosshair of choice.
Sporting green hues with black outlines, ShahZam’s crosshair makes it much easier to spot the center of the screen even from afar, making it just as easy to point towards enemies and other targets quickly and efficiently.
Sporting a more sleek appearance isZeekand his crosshair style: a straightforward white cross with thin black outlines. Despite the rather simple appearance of the crosshair, its style does work for its purpose.

Its outlined nature makes the crosshair much easier to line up with moving objects, and the white color doesn’tmake it too much of a distractionwhen compared to the rest of the game’s visual design. This straightforward yet practical approach makes Zeek’s crosshair something to consider.
Players who want a straightforward yet practical choice of a crosshair layout would want to try and use the same formatScreaMis using.
The focus on cyan ensures the crosshair is easy to spot regardless of how chaotic things seem to get, and using a dot instead of inner lines removes the distraction from special effects around the player. The addition of outlines to the cyan dot further emphasizes the crosshair’s “separation” from the rest of the game’s elements.
At first glance,cNedhas a crosshair that seems like a white dot but in actuality isn’t. Instead, he uses inner lines that have been compressed to look almost like a point. Players would have to zoom in and focus intently to see that the “point” is actually a very close collection of inner lines.
The white color might feel impractical when facing the game’s lighter colors, but the white of the crosshairnever fully blends in with the environment.The unimposing white color also adds to its practicality as a crosshair, as it never “demands” attention, unlike other colors.
Considering the game’s focus on its playful and flashy 3D aesthetic, it’s easy to get lost in all the chaos. Thankfully,Asunacircumvents this potential hassle in crosshair detection with his own unique blend - this time turning on outlines and turning off inner lines.

Add this with a dash of white, and he ends up with a thin crosshair that doesn’t interfere with much of the game’s environment but is still quite visible when facing dark surfaces.

WhileTenZseems to regularly switch crosshair layouts, one of his more popular ones was his cyan crosshairs. This set of crosshairs works on a simple yet practical principle - cyan isn’t a color the game uses a lot for its major environments, meaning cyan is a pretty easy color to follow for the eyes.
This, on top of the crosshair’s inner lines setup, gives the cyan crosshairs a recognizable aesthetic that makes it easy to trail towards moving opponents. Among all of TenZ’s crosshairs, this cyan crosshair is a great tool to have for players who want to go pro withfast and loose Agents such as Yoru.

White space is key forLeafand his crosshair setup. Unlike other players that like their inner lines packed too closely with each other, Leaf’s layout leaves just a bit of space in between them to make them easier to spot by the eyes.
Considering the white color, it doesn’t remain as obstructive when it comes to navigating environments as well. It’s quite easy to spot quick movement through the white space of Leaf’s crosshairs, making it a great crosshair forAgents that love precision movement such as Chamber.
