I'm currently Plat 1 right now and for most of my valorant playtime I've used the vandal. I like the feel of its recoil and I prefer the 150 damage headshot over the phantom.

However, I've heard from pro players, random, and honestly everything and anything that the phantom is better, understandably. I've started using the phantom when playing on an alt with some friends mainly because I started playing duelists so I an can atleast guarantee someone is an entry frag.

I just can't seem to hit shots with the phantom like I do with the vandal, and I don't know why. It feels like I miss the head so much more, and I can't recover it as well as I can with the vandal. Is it worth getting better with it and using the phantom on all characters? Or am I better off using the vandal unless I'm playing a certain agent or role?
