Reading the patch notes informed us on the Valkyrie buff and new moves; however, the game itself does not include these new transitions in the moveset for her. I"ve mained Valk since day one because I just enjoyed her style; now I'm really having fun with her mix up capabilities. A new player; however, will not be aware of these possibilities (unless they read the patch notes). Having only focused on playing Vikings ( to lengthen the game enjoyment, i.e. master one faction at a time) I now wonder what other characters may have additional attacks not shown in the move set screen.. Has ubisoft intentionally left more move attack variations to be discovered , or was the patch pushed out skipping updating the move set just for the Valk in order to speed up the process?
As a PS4 Player I have only spent a couple hours with her this morning. If you see any error please feel free to correct.
