Ok, so I've been playing Valkyrie quite a bit here recently, even before Season 5 started, and I think that, despite her mixup potential, she needs a little changing, both to make her more fun to play and better overall. Here's my ideas on how to change her for the better.
1. Decrease the recovery frames of her entire moveset to eliminate free guard breaks on block, except for side dash attacks (because of Gladiator).
2. Increase the speed at which her sweep comes out to make her mixups harder to react to.
3. Fix the amount of time Valkyrie has to chain to eliminate delayed light attacks, but keep the delayed sweep mechanic.
4. Give her side lights a heavy block stun reaction, this way she can still enter her sweep and combo if her lights are blocked.
5. Increase the speed of Shield Crush to make connecting the move easier.
6. Increase damage on side heavy to 30.
7. Increase damage on top heavy to 28.
8. New Mixup! After Shield Crush, follow up heavy becomes unblockable (now does 35 damage) and can be soft feinted into a guard break, or by inputing the sweep command.
9. Headbutt off of guard break does 5 damage.
Those are my thoughts. Let me know what you guys think!
