I bought the kuronami bundle just yesterday and have been using it since today morning since 7 and decided to to write a review about it :D.

Okay, I will be stating the obvious and saying some facts, the bundle is crazy good, but the kuronami 1.0 was definitely better. It had its own charm which this bundle also does but missing at some points imo. I got 2 accounts and bought kuro 1.0 in my main account and 2.0 in my alt just so that i would have kuro skins in both and I can definately say i was much more in awe when i used the 1.0.

The phantom skin is really good, but i will be honest, its not as good as nocternum, res, or recon, these three are still goated imo. Is it better then ayakashi? I definitely think so. When ayakashi came out i thought this was it, there wont be kuro phantom ANY due to its similarties to kuro time soon so i bought it in both of my accounts but oh boy i was so wrong. The phantom is crisp and feels much cleaner then ayakashi, but the firing sound of ayakashi tend to feel annoying for me personally. I would personally give this a solid 8.5/10 the downside being that it doesn't really feel good to spray xD.

Next is the ghost, and lets be honest, its good, but we already had ayakashi, yes kuro ghost has unique animations and stuff blah blah but it really doesn't make a difference for me, they both feel really similiar to me execpt the reload which i would argue that ayakashi did it better. Personally, i do prefer using phaseguard over both of them BUT IT WONT COME IN MY SHOP (RIOT FIX THIS). I really wish they would given a kuro bandit but here we are. A 8/10 imo :)

The op feels kinda mehh, i mean its good and all but the whole kuro theme doesn't really feel the op really imo, an outlaw would have been much better cause the reload animations on the op really sucks a** on that gun. It just doesn't feel right and the sound profile also feels mid. ( tho i may change my mind cause my op isn't fully upgraded yet, no rp after i used them on rest of the things). I do prefer my mystbloom over it, the sound is much more crisp tbh, overall a 7/10 :>

The gaurdian did me tho, ngl, its really sick. Personally this is my fav skin out of the all the guns in the bundle, and its SOOOOOOOOOOO good, everything is just perfect, like PERFECT PERFECT, i cant complain about a single thing and will give it a 9.5/10, why the 0.5 reduction? cause kuch bhi ho, bhai, prime gaurdian is my love, i dont think i will find a guardian better then prime :3

Lastly the knife. Its a really good knife, like REALLY good knife, i skipped the 2024 champs bundle and i regreted that i didn;t get the champs blade cause of the sick right click but here we are and i m ngl i m loving it, the kunai form is good too, the xenohunter right click is always a pleasure to see in small knifes, makes any knife good but i have been using the knife mainly the its blade form and the right click is just love for me. I am the type of person who cares a lot about what knife i m using, like ALOT, i'have got 3 karambits just so that i can find the best one for me :D cause i feel like my movement depends on the type of knives i use, and i can say, that this shit got me moving like crazy. I will give it a 9/10. Reason cause i still feel that my movement is better on my other knives ( ion karambit, kuro 1.0, vct karambit, magepunk butterfly).

Overall, it was definitely worth the buy, i k i will be loving the bundle and its gonna age like vine. I dont feel like they could have given a flex or smt for kuro 2.0 and specially the fact that they didn't make the buddy reactive even tho the 1.0 buddy WAS reactive, thats really lame of riot ngl but it is what it is. i mean is kuro overrated? Maybe. Is it good? Definitely. If u are thinking about it, then u should go for it. :D

EDIT: Tldr (by u/bubblegumpink07) :

Phantom: it's good. But recon, nocturnum still better. 8.5/10

Ghost: it's good, but OP's opinion is that ayakashi did it better. 8/10

Guardian: PERFECT. 9.5/10

Operator: Kuronami just doesn't fit on an operator. 7/10

Knife: Really good knife. 9/10

Overall: Great bundle, worth buying. But Kuronami 1.0 better.
