Valk still good on release? | Forums

@MangoUnclaimed dunno if you play so hi-level that some ex streetfighter pros cant keep up with you, but it seems that lawbringer is fine compared to Raider and Valkyrie.
Atleast lawbringer gets heavies of wall throws and knockdowns, Raider doesent and valk gets 1 bar of damage from those too so....

[MangoUnclaimed]

I don't disagree that the Valkyrie is a weak class just now. The Lawbringer is definitely weaker, though - the Valk gets fast attacks that do poor damage. The Lawbringer gets very slow attacks that do... well, poor damage. Both need a significant buff, I think, but the Valkyrie is far more usable currently. The Raider I don't really agree on, though. He's slow, but has very high damage potential and some insane disabling moves compared to the others. I think he's viable, though not top-tier.

Ive mained valkyrie now for 4 hours and starting to get the hang of her.
Shes not nearly as bad as people claim. She does however require alot of practice and watching her movied over and over is really recommended.
Chaining a trip into every combo seems to work perfectly. Rarely do I see people avoid it and you can followup with dash+light.
Her light attacks dont deal alot of damage except the top light. Her heavies should be used for feinting (she feigns with square) or setting up a trip.

I really like her and with more practise im sure she can be just as good as any other class.

I really hope they buff her damage, i like valk she seems really fun but hard to master (im getting there) but she does no damage, and now the only good game mode for her is the two 4v4 game modes as a support character to knock them down and lets others do the damage. its ridiculous how weak she is damage wise, Ubisoft plz buff her damage

Thats the thing she actually cant be as good as the other classes go play duel and find out why. She has awesome combos but with out the damage or speed you will get dodged and blocked from being able to do combos. The leg sweep does not allow you to follow up with enough dps to make it worth while and her bleed is super hard to pull of and it does nothing.

She's definitely not that bad but definitely is underpower compare to the others. And mainly I think she just needs a bit adjustment in her move sets and she should be fine. Most her good moves have way too long recovery time. Even her jump attack which is surprisingly long if you miss. Also the same to her dodge attacks which doesn't make sense while others don't suffer the same problem.

Dont know what it was before but in releace i tried it. Funny to play but your attacks make 50% less damage what everyone other does. makes him useles when you have to perform 225% to get same results what others do.

Lawbringer's damage is pathetic. I think his side heavy did like 20 something damage.

Valkyrie was great in the betas, but i havent touched her yet on release. Is she still good? I saw another post in general discussion saying how she was weak AF now.

Looks like she still has a lot of CC according to this

anyone main her? tipperinos?

Spear flip to the ground, nuff said.

[Krucifixt]

Shes a good CC role but thats about it.. so yeah only useful in the bigger maps, not duels. Her damage is in huge need of a buff, then maybe speed or range, as you cant do the ground combo now. I tend to help my teammates get a lot of kills because I can keep the other classes down for the most part but that doesnt help me on dailies and such lol.. Im only still maining her in hopes they buff her dmg.
