Sooo the Valkyrie... I've been trying to get the Valkyrie to work for quite a few hours now, but haven't had any success.I think her damage is absolutely pathetic, especially considering her health is also extremely low. I actually believe she has the lowest base damage of ANY Hero. Her moves are extremely good but don't really help out if you have to land like 30 hits to down most other heroes. I haven't seen many Valkyries ou there, which usually is an indicator that she just can't match up with most others...

Now before all you Nobushi Users start crying "GG" and whatnot.. I've been playing FH since the Closed Alpha and tried many characters.. I main the berserker but Consider myself pretty decent with most heroes.

I'd really like to hear your input on this whether you agree or maybe it's really just me and I need to practice some more

I've been finding her really fun to play but only on the cheese game modes , 4 v 4, because of the lack of damage.

I found this the other day, confirms what you are saying I think https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...aring&sle=true ( I dont own this)

I've been playing her since release and I can say, she's definitely underpowered right now. But with stat boosting equipment she can be pretty ferocious.

The good news is that she will be getting some buffs, but not to damage. She's mostly getting speed buffs so she can get in more hits. Maybe that will make her damage seem higher.

Valkyrie:

• Light Attacks: reduced recovery time
• Light Chains: reduced time between attacks
• Pouncing Thrust & Hunter’s Strike: Increased damage and link options after those moves
• Shield Crush: add link to Light Attack chains
• Hunter’s Rush: reduced recovery time

i played vs a pretty good Valk today and i noticed something... She is the only class who is able to connect a light + heavy attack on knocked down opponent and she can abuse the shield bash combo like pretty much every others class one of their mechanics. She can defend herself like a heavy and she is as fast as an assassin( mobility + deflect ). Give her more damage and poeple will start saying she is OP again.

Keep learning how she play and you will find out thats she is pretty solid.

That and if you want some cheap infinite combo, Position yourself so your opponent cannot roll dodge far from you and then start the fun with an Heavy Attack, Either let it land (If they don't parry or block) or cancel it into the Shield Crush, Into Leg Sweep into Heavy top into a Shield Crush and then Leg Sweep a repeat over and over again. The only way to get out of that combo is to spam roll dodge backward, therefor if they cannot dodge far enough you will connect again and continue this combo. It usually take me around 5-6 full combo before getting exhausted, Only the Lawbringer (with his insane health pool) can survive that (only if he is full health). She is definitely strong, has a lot of options but her Skillcap like the Berserker is so High that any Human will do mistake while playing those character.

That actually sounds like a great Buff. How do U know about these changes?

But any character has some kind of exploit though most of them are playable without using them... THAT sounds pretty cheesy and should not be a valid tactic tbh

My two favorite classes also happen to be the weakest. Valkyrie is weak, that's for sure. Non-existent damage for her, even the Warlord will kill you quicker. Berserker could also use some help or more moves. Something besides relying on Light, Heavy, Light, Heavy etc. Against anyone that knows the controls, it will immediately get parried and be punished. Easily the most counterable assassin in the game. Berserker only shines while stomping newbies that get overwhelmed by the onslaught of attacks and are too panicked to do a parry.

That or you play has a counter-attacker and get free guardbreak + top heavy out of each deflect.

Some have yes, not all of them, and not that cheap I am pretty sure. No one yet got out of my Valk infinite combo when positioned correctly.
