Nay? Well they aren't bad just it would take like a week from training to get an armies of them and they are expensive and slow for there housing space.

I have been playing around with the Valkyrie since the update. But not allot due to her excessive cost/training time
She is powerful. Using healers and support units (dragons or archers) she does just fine. In fact she'll eat right through any CC ground troop or hero. I found that a golem wasn't a great support unit in this senerio because the healers just had a tendency to lock on him for the duration of the battle (but my PEKKAs are only lvl 1). Similarly I hope to test out balloons as distracting/supporting units in this combo.
Overall she is not a weak troop by any means. I have two 100% battles verse decent bases. She will now chew through walls pretty well and with healer support tanks just fine. However her training time is utterly ridiculous and throw in the cost of DE well.... I'll keep upgrading her but not before my standard farming troops. Fun to use when my DE stores are well stocked.
(bringing a pair along is a great idea though, as they are great for clearing out those pesky CC troops)
EDIT: If SC is reading this I do not think the Valkyrie needs a buff, a reduction in training time (to like 8-10 minutes) would do wonders for her practicality and a cost reduction wouldn't hurt
I used valkyries + healers strategy. Same like giant + healer.
I spam valkyries and use healers and it's great if they don't go to to the sides to destroy army camps and barracks.
They are like upgraded giants who attack anything.
does it really work?Quote:

I've done it a few times. Valks tank just as well as giants with the healers in tow. The question isn't if it works, as you can find videos of this but if its worth the cost.Quote:

Valks would be amazing if their damage was increased, splash damage area increased, damage to walls and none defensive buildings doubled and decrease building time. A bit more health wouldnt hurt. If these things happen valks would be used alot more. Hope sc is listening because valks are just about useless atm.
You may be on to something :rolleyes:Quote:

lvl 4 valks have 1k+health and 124 dps wich is a real powerfull troop its just the training time is a bummer.
the training time should be 5mins so they are useable. 15 mins is too long, the cost of the valk should put people off using in mass armies.
Both my de barracks make nothing but non stop lvl 4 valkyries. If you have a similar playstyle to mine they are a huge asset. I raid with usually 4 per raid, sometimes 6, they work better in tight groups. I've showed countless replays where my valks take out a xbow and gold storage at the same time. If you are one of those people who just run around picking off collectors in gold don't use them. But if you farm crystal leagues like i do and actually raid bases, making 620-1240 de per raid is nothing. I only use like 20-30 archers to clear buildings outside so when i drop my real troops they go inside. I use a lot if barbs and only heal and rage spells, only flying troop i will use is a healer.

I've been using 2-4 valks per raid over the weekend, and even with level 1 valks I can see that they are quite useful in the right context. As above, get them into the guts of the base, and/or into the clan castle archers, and they can really shine. With archers behind them, they are like giants except way better because they also attack storages, TH, etc. I was just shy of 2000 trophies, and I could definitely see them being useful in Crystal.
But yeah, their training time is the huge killer... I could only brew 4 at most, and that ties up all my dark barracks... hopeless, really, ideally I'd like to use at least 6, as well as a few minions. I won't be upgrading mine until the brew time is reduced...!
