    About the valk and most spammable move in FH

    First of all consider this feedback as coming from console meaning time for react being mush shorter (even in game mode)


    Every body has complain once about certain spam in this game, we have seen it with LB, conqueror and Valk...i certainly forget some.

    The valkiry light are so fast that the only way is to play defensive. Her recovery is so fast that after a block on light, you barely have time to do anything. If you manage to drain her stamina by blocking....the backward dodge is very far so she can stay out of danger.

    she has a move that permit to make you fall, that's not really a big deal if you forget the really narrow timing to avoid it (console remember...). But what is really frustrating is that just when you stand up, she can land her shield bash or even go back to another move like it...


    This specific situation has been fixed for the LB to bring a more mixup game, but have you consider these solutions?:

    - Diminishing the backward step while without stamina.....would be fair for assassin too.

    - Any hit while opponent on the floor doesn't count for a "special" combo start.

    Ty for the feedback for valk. I'll definitely show it to the team, but I'm not sure if we've got any plans for valk changes in the near future since it may be that this problem is more prominent on consoles - so perhaps don't expect a response on it right away. However I'll still let them know and perhaps your suggestions will help them to appreciate the issues related to her spam.

    It's very much doable even on console, the deadzone slider has made it easier and even when I'm playing as her it's not uncommon for me to get parried.

    I was parrying Valkyrie lights consistently when going against a level 3 bot yesterday. It is very much possible.

    Valks are a joke in higher level play.. literally worthy of laughter.. Every one of her abilities is HIGHLY avoidable and very punishable. Just block ANY of her dash attacks for a free GB.. my lights get parried all the time.

    try not moving your guard when you get shield bashed and then dodge..

    While you will have issue parry her light (I mean if you succeed it, it's an exceptional move ), blocking her attack will be much more easy if you set up your television on game mode.I had exactly the same issue with all fast lighter and this solution give me a total new dimension in this game.

    Duuklah things go another way on console and the objective of this patch is to avoid Spam without breaking this character that has to stay very quick.

    I have trouble with valk as well, but after seeing posts about higher level players using her complaining about how she needs a buff because they can't land hits with her, I assumed its a case of git gud, I just need to work on my timing.
