Valk cant catch a break
The rework to valk increased her spam and destroyed her utility and mix ups. She has the worst heavy in the game, the only light-light-light combo that actually goes down in damage for each hit and one of the worst bashes in the game considering it only comes off of heavy feint. They removed charge headbutt and nerfed full block/shield charge into a pointless state. Her best features are the crushing counters and shoulder pin which make for a very slow play hoping someone swings at you.
To fix here are my ideas.
Heavy neutral damage buff from 24 to 28
Heavy chains from 24-28-32 dmg to 28-32-36
Heavy top finisher unblockable
. -this will give her at least some threat in a group fight
Heavy side finishers are undodgeable
- this will give a good mixup to counter the fact that all people have to do is dodge on any finished she has
Light side finishers are unblockable
- will give a chance to wall splat for continued offence
Dodge back to full block
- either slightly increase the dodge frames or make the all block kick in sooner
Shield charge after full block
- return hyper armor during this charge
- guarantee charge if someone hits the all block
