About this converter
Valorant buy phases run on credits, and abilities take a fixed cut. Sova Owl Drone costs 400, the priciest basic row here. Most controller and initiator tools cost 150 to 300: Jett Cloudburst 200, Updraft 150, Omen Shrouded Step 100, Paranoia 250, Dark Cover 150, Breach Aftershock 200, Flashpoint 250, Brimstone Stim Beacon 200, Incendiary 250, Sky Smoke 100, Phoenix Blaze 150, Hot Hands 200, Curveball 250, Raze Boom Bot 300, Blast Pack 200, Sova Shock Bolt 150. Signature abilities like Jett Tailwind are free with cooldowns, so they stay out of the cost rows. Every player starts each half with 800 credits and caps at 9,000.
How to use it
Pick two ability costs and the unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first ability, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in credits. Try 1 Owl Drone against Cloudbursts to see premium recon pricing.
Costs are per use from the official Wiki ability tables, which track Riot patches. Riot rebalances prices over time: Sova Owl Drone rose from 300 to 400, Shock Bolt from 100 to 150, Jett Cloudburst from 100 to 200. Signature charges refill by cooldown or kills and do not carry extra bought charges into the next round. Ultimates cost ult points, not credits, so they stay out of this table.
