Guide: Valkyrie

In short

Valkyrie is a legendary Defense champion from the Barbarians faction, a top-tier pick for Clan Boss and Arena. Her massive team-wide Shield and Counterattack, combined with turn meter manipulation, make her a game-changer. Build her without hesitation.

Strengths

  • Places a huge Shield for 3 turns and Counterattack for 2 turns on all allies — essential for survival and damage in CB and Arena.
  • Passive “Jealousy” steals turn meter from enemies whenever they gain buffs, boosting her own speed and slowing them down.
  • A1 double-hit reduces turn meter of buffed targets, disrupting enemy teams.
  • +33% DEF aura in Faction Crypts makes her a must-have for FW.
  • Pairs exceptionally well with Iron Brago, forming an unbreakable defensive core.

Weaknesses

  • Requires high DEF and SPD stats, making her gear-dependent.
  • Vulnerable to buff removal and crowd control — without Shield and Counterattack, her impact drops sharply.
  • Low base Speed (104) demands significant SPD from gear.

Where to use

Excels in Clan Boss (5.0) and Arena (4.5), including Classic, Tag Team, and Live Arena. Great for Faction Wars (4.5). Performs solidly in Dungeons, Doom Tower, Hydra, and Chimera (4.0) — useful but not essential.

Stats and gear

Stat priority: DEF (higher = thicker shield and more damage), SPD (target 250+ for CB, 300+ for Arena), ACC (to land turn meter reduction, 250+ for level 20+ content). CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG are optional. Recommended sets: Defense, Speed, Accuracy, Divine Speed, Perception. Mix to reach thresholds.

Masteries and blessings

Mastery trees: Defense and Support. Key masteries: Invigorated, Strengthening Will, Gathering Momentum, Damage Mitigation, Buff Depletion, Bolstered Defense. Blessings: Brimstone (for CB) or Life Harvest (for Arena). Relics: Gilded Dragonstone, Wand of Submission, Volcardiac Heart.

Tomes

Prioritize Stronghold (A2) — cooldown reduction and stronger shield are crucial. A1 can be booked later for extra damage, but it’s not mandatory. Passive doesn’t need books.

Verdict

Valkyrie is one of the strongest legendaries in the game, a must-build champion. If you pull her, invest immediately.
