I'm scared of what will become of the Valkyrie | Forums

[HazelrahFirefly]

She's my favorite hero, has been since I tried her in Season 3. I slowed down with her starting in S5 because she's just too underpowered - it's too much work to play her against good players.

Now two more heroes that I enjoyed got reworked. I've come to love the new Orochi, but I do not like the PK as much as I did before. It's not because of her lower damage, I can deal with that. I just don't particularly like having to constantly worry about three kinds of feinting.

On the other hand, a season ago they made the HL great while at the same time nerfing the Nobushi a little bit - two other heroes I enjoy.

So now I am worried about what will eventually happen with the Valkyrie. If I dont end up liking her new build I will quite bummed.

dont expect much.

a bit more damage. maybe. maybe not.

the chains that all get now. (light and heavies mixed as you feel like)

(wish the deflect to side wasnt so narrow window to succeed..)

maybe they make the Shield Charge attack for 3 directions as for orochi.

so i can choose from which of the 3 directions my omni directional bash comes from?

nice, sounds about right.

[HazelrahFirefly]

Light confirmed after Shield Bash would be nice, along with the ability for it to Wall Splat and confirm a Heavy.

This is my fav Char as well.. Sounds like something gonna come soon for her but what ..? this is the question.. Just wait and pray !

[sycobanana77]

Definitely agree. She needs higher damage and a better throw or fix the headbutt. After a GB, the headbutt is completely useless. Startup on the shield stance should have hyper armor. Light spams makes it near impossible to try and backdodge to get into the stance. She needs more feints also.

Maybe one day they gonna makes the valk good again ..

[PiusLeviticus]

if I had to warrant a guess... based off of the other reworks I would imagine it would look something like this

knock back distance from shield tackle increased by 50%
pouncing thrust spans entire distance to stab person knocked down from shield tackle
the attack speed of the second and 3rd light attack in boar hunter's and harrier's fury chains changed to 400ms
can stop shield charge mid dash to sweep
spear size increased so enemies are forced to untarget valk and roll away
can throw shield like a boomerang that is unblockable because why not
hunter's strike becomes kensei's old swift strike
headbutt is now copy paste shugoki
after successful guardbreak a light attack will be a shield punch that drains stamina and applies dizzy. punch breaks chains
can feint heavy attacks into zephyr slash
*spin treated as a light
**has superior block
***hunter's rush can be cancelled mid animation into zephyr slash
valk gains a new level two feat that can only be used against male only heroes i.e. shugo warlord etc. she pulls out a pregnancy test and takes half of the total renown collected by the target.

Why people say she underpowered or weak? Come on, Valky could spam lights, use deflect like move, be real turtle with her full block shield charge. She fast as assassins and protected as heavy. I play against a lot of Valky and you can't stand against her lights if you not LB or something. And this kick down step, that guaranteed heavy.
I don't want to say she needs a nerf, cause obviously this will piss off you guys, but please stop asking to buff her. She strong against every hero in right hands.
