Chroma Tides Value in November 2026
Trackers spread wide on this one: the lowest current lists put it near 55, while others run up to about 130, with demand around 1.5 to 2 out of 10. That gap means you should never trade it at a single fixed number. Use the range, aim for the lower half when buying, and confirm the latest figure on our trade calculator before any deal.
Chroma Tides sits in the lower half of the chroma ladder, near Chroma Slasher on some lists and closer to Chroma Deathshard on others. Its wave-pattern design has a small but loyal following among collectors. Compare it with other chromas on our godly value pages.
What Is Chroma Tides and How Do You Get It?
Chroma Tides is the chroma version of the Tides godly knife, with glowing wave patterns running along the blade. It comes from Knife Box 5 at roughly 1-in-1,000 chroma odds, and it is still unboxable today. Trading remains the practical route: the odds of pulling the exact chroma you want from a box are far too long to chase.
Because it is still unboxable, new copies enter the market steadily, which keeps a lid on the price. That is the main difference between it and event-only chromas: supply never stops growing. Our MM2 knife guide explains how ongoing unboxability affects chroma values.
Trading Guide: Fair Deals for Chroma Tides
Low demand plus a wide value range makes Chroma Tides easy to overpay for. Avoid that:
Anchor to the low end. When trackers span 55 to 130, the seller’s number is not the market. Start negotiations from the lower half of the range and let them argue upward.
Good trade partners: wave-design collectors and chroma set builders working through the mid tier. They are the steadiest buyers at any price.
Bad idea: trading a liquid item of equal paper value straight across for Chroma Tides. You will wait a long time to move it.
Upgrade path: Chroma Tides plus a modest add reaches the 100-to-150 band, where chromas like Chroma Shark trade with slightly better demand.
Is Chroma Tides Worth Keeping?
As an item, it is a fine mid-tier chroma with a distinctive look, and buying near the bottom of its range limits your downside. As an investment, no. Ongoing unboxability, low demand, and tracker disagreement all point to a flat price with no clear catalyst.
The design does have fans, which is more than some low-end chromas can say. If you enjoy the wave aesthetic, it is a cheap way to own a real chroma. Just do not buy it expecting appreciation.
