Nothing says, 'safe pick,' like a Valkyrie player.

Safe in what way? She's upper mid tier at best. She's just a noob stomper

She's a more broken PK on console. Her light->sweep is also glitched, as it's undodgeable if the second light attack hits you.

Sweep is unblockable no matter what, you need to dodge it. I'm on console and I stomp valks all the time. They are probably the most punishable hero in the game. All of her attacks are unsafe.

Shield bash gives a free gb if dodged
Allguard shield bash gives a free gb if dodged
Sweep gives a free gb if dodged
Dash attacks give a free gb if blocked

All risk and pretty low reward tbh
Shield bash yields no damage, it's just an attack to lead up to the sweep mixup

Allguard knockdown gives a dash attack if full charged 17 damage.
Sweep gives a heavy 25 damage.
Dash attacks do 17 damage.

So if an opponent guesses right or defends himself 50% of the time on these attacks he's come out on top as most gb heavy follow ups do between 30-35 damage and even more if there is a wall nearby. Really underwhelming and unsafe character if played against anyone with good footsies or knows how to parry/block.

It all comes back to the unilateral issue in this game with the ability to chain spam. Punishing her mistakes aside, in the right hands if you allow even a couple light attacks through a Valk can keep you locked in her chain spam with little to no counterplay.

I seriously do not understand how hard it is to up the stamina cost of the key abilities that lead to the chain spam and make them cost so much that a full chain can't be repeated.

Valkyrie is a noob stomper for noobs.


- She literally only does 3 things well and thats it.

- Easy to learn

- Easy to use

- Easy to spam


She is probably the easiest character to do well with than anyone else other than maybe Shugoki or Warlord.

So still a noob stomper. Like I said if you have good footsies and know how to block she's cake to destroy.

Off-topic but why are all the samurai characters over designed... It's like they are given a massive move list just because they're japanese.
