Valkyrie desperately needs fixing. | Forums

i only wish her sweep did some damage. a little buff wouldnt be bad either, just a little bit atleast.

completely agree, class is great, but has no real offense. you literally must wait for them to push, and do same predictable rotation over and over...

Wow guys really. Use your bleeds and stun combos. She does huge amount of damage if played correctly.

Bleed isn't reliable. Parry is much easier, safer and deal way more dmg(potentially). Not sure about what stun combos you talked about, but none of her combos are guarantee hits and can be either dodge or block. Combine that with her low dmg and most moves have long recovery time just make everything worse.

the Vaklyrie was awesome during the beta she was in, a little OP so take her original build and tweak it a little, back to being awesome.

Hi,

First things first, I love the game. I played during both closed and open Beta, maining the Warlord and I had a lot of fun and won probably 75% of the duels. When game launched, I decided to main the Valkyrie, it seemed like a good choice and I was expecting her to be a mix of both the Warlord and the Berserker. Oh, the disappointment. I think I lost more than 90% of my duels with her, at first I was like "meh, maybe this hero is just not my playstyle" but I kept playing and finaly must admit, even though I got better with her, yes she is very weak.

I would like to point out a few things I went through during my playtime, amazingly annoying things :

- Why does sweeping push the ennemy so far, that you can't even land an heavy hit ? It doesn't make sens at all. First, I thougth that my Throw distance item was causing this, but after equiping another item : nop, turns out the issue is still here.
- Another point, linked to the one above : why are ennemies able to block heavy attacks when they are rising up from the ground ? Even the animations are nonsense, one second the ennemy is slowly rising, and just as soon as your spear hit him he stands on his feets blocking with his weapon in hands, like nothing happened, wtf.
- Third point, base stats are sooo low. Low damage, low health. Combos with sweeping takes a lot of stamina for pretty low damage. Her heavy attacks are really really slow too. Her range is very low, in fact she has less range than Kensei, Orochi or Nobushi despite the fact that she is fighting with a spear. Another comparison to the Nobushi I would make, is how hard it is to land the DoTs attacks, you know, the one that requires spaming heavy attack right after a dodge-block if you want to pull it.

I keep maining her anyway, because I really want to play that specific hero, because I don't mind the challenge, but hell it's painfull. In short, the Valkyrie is very versatile she's able to do a bit of everything, but she does it really bad.

From the For Honor official website : "Special Capabilities
EXCELLENT AT TAKEDOWNS
CAN USE SHIELD TO ATTACK"

You're gonna have to fix her, if you want her to be EXCELLENT AT TAKEDOWNS, because right now, taking five minutes to kill someone by poking him with a stick is everything but EXCELLENT. Especially when playing brawl or deathmatch, because you end up with ennemies on your face before you could deal some damage. Unless there's a cliff to save you of course.

Lol, you clearly dont understand how hard the bleed is to land and that the sweep is un rewarding

This hero cannot have to much damage for the sole reason of she has the most CC in the game.. she can chain knock down into knock down if you aren't careful...if she had more damage she would be broken.

TakeDowns are her sweep not kill potential she literally takes people down by sweeping their feet... and shes excellent at that!

you do realize her sweep is hard to combo and if she does all you have to do is dodge left or right? AND she is so far back you have to pouncing thrust to get into range for only a light attack. Its unusable against higher tier players
