Thanks for the Valkyrie love....

✔ Increased Valkyrie hitpoints by about 20% on all levels.

Why? The Valkyrie hasn't been seeing much action on the battlefield - she needed beefing up!!

Thanks a lot for the Valkyrie boost. I am excited to see the girls get a little love because I think they are a unit with a lot of potential.

Having said that I hope you can consider that the problem with the valk is not that she is too soft or weak. it is that she presents too high a cost in Time and Population.

A population cost of 6 or 7 and a training time of 9 to 11 mins would be much more balancing in my opinion. in fact dropping her to 7 population and no other changes would be incredibly significant on its own.

But thanks again for the valks. My axe spinners are already cheering.

Time is the only thing that makes her uneappleaing to me, if she took less time to make, id use her a lot more

She's still absolutely useless in my eyes though.

"I am going to use valks in my army!!"

said no one in clash of clans ever. period.


giants are cheaper, faster to train, easier with troop counting, easier to max, more user friendly, dont attack everything it sees, and frankly who upgrades a valk instead of heroes or golems which are the best troops in the game so far.

I am hitting lvl 4 with my Valkyries in 3 more days. So of course I appreciate any boost she gets


But I've been on this topic for a while and people have repeatedly stated that her biggest problem isn't stats.


My proposal, updated since the update.


Valkyries - lvl 4

Cost - 110 - 120 - this would put her a hair above hogs, which she is currently not as useful as (in terms of cost per housing space)

Training Time: Drop to AT LEAST 8 minutes. I'd argue for as much as 4 minutes though because you get only 2 barracks to train her with and (again) hogs take a measly 2 minutes of 5 housing spaces. Even 6 would put her in a much better place to be used.

Stats: Remain the same, she's a tough cookie (use her in mass, the problem won't be her effectiveness)

Tweak - When changing targets and when she is something like .5 titles away from her intended target, have her basically begin her attack animation as she closes the distance - sort of like a "charge" attack. Meaning that by the time she gets to her target she attacks instantly.

Reasoning for the above - One of the biggest issues with using a Valkyrie is despite a solid DPS stat, she wastes a huge amount of it. In large part this is due to how she attacks. She runs up to a target, stands around for a noticeable period of time and then proceeds to start probably one of the longest attack animations for a ground melee unit. This is why a level 6 tesla is better than a level 11 archer tower (same exact DPS). Sure these towers don't move but a tesla has an extremely fast attack animation and a high attack speed. Archer towers have a painfully long attack animation, that results in the intended target already being dead... (this is also why cannons seem to outpace them) and a slow attack speed. This change could be much like the addition of that one last attack balloons have upon death. Just enough to make her useful.


If those things were done, I for one could afford to use her much much more often.

Saving to upgrade my barracks to get them.

I am at level 113, with TH9, farming in Crystal I/II.

I have DB level 4, and yet, I have never made a single valk or golem... Ever.

My minions and hogs are both max for TH9, but I'd rather upgrade my heroes than the rest of my dark troops.

They just don't seem worth it to me...

I use a lot of minions, (and max balloons) so I have that cost to make up for while farming.

I have a builder which will be freed up this afternoon, and he will go straight from BK, to AQ, and that will be his fifth hero upgrade in a row.

That is a bigger priority for me at the moment.

On a side note, finding loot up here is not an issue at all--It's everywhere. The problem is finding loot that isn't nailed down with disco infernos. As I am TH9, and have no freeze spell, I am forced to skip most bases.

Valkyria need a more dps, like 15-20% higher dps on all levels and her time need to be decreased down to 8min. Else she is perfect.

If supercell does beef them up people on here are gonna start clutiring up stuff about Valkyries being way too overpowered like usual

Training time is still the deal breaker with valks...

My hopes are that the Valkyrie will get buffed a BUNCH in the next few updates...

I wonder how the di suction to upgrade valks went.

"valks aren't being used should we do anything?"

"maybe.... But we don't want to overpower them like the hogs deal"

"what do you think? Lots of players asking to lower time and population cost, a few ask for damage..."

"How about we raise her hit points, no one is asking for that and we no possible chance of overpower"

" yea and since it's the single thing that absolutely no one is asking for we can claim it as on original idea."
