Valkrie fix

My current army is 10 giants, 14 wizards, 6 Valkyries, 10 barbs, 20 archers and 8 wallbreakers. (I basically use them as tanks, destroy surrounding buildings and send them into the base. Their high health makes them great tanks and they do pretty good damage.

However, a change is needed as they are way too expensive to train (possibly 50 DE instead?) and take too long as well (8 mins would be much better). Apart from that their stats are pretty well balanced but maybe their splash should have a bigger radius as it does nothing against buildings.

i don't want them to have their battle stats upgraded ( i've faced them in a cc and they were rippin' my barbs appart :))

their battle stats aren't upgraded for defense, only on offense and when attacking cc troops (rage effect)

I used valkyries a lot before the hog-defense-targeting buff. Mostly as complementary tanks/dps and dropped them where I think they are needed. Giants are taking too much heat to protect my wizards? Valks to the rescue sort of thing. Same thing if I find my wiz/archers are not destroying something fast enough. Their stats are amazing for both tanking and dps, and many times I found myself using them as an alternative for lightning spells.(drop her in the middle of a lured out archers and they all disapper with one swing of that huge axe)

Statistically, I dont think valks needed any more buffs, even if only vs troops... Cost, training time and housing could use a little encouragement.

The main problem I see when using valks is her movement speed, she's too fast as a melee troop and if placed as a vanguard, she would charge in so far ahead of the main army bulk that all point defenses are on to her. (High hitpoint high housing troops have a natural weakness to point defenses) Traps are also a problem with her, being ahead of the army.

Her fast movement speed caused the valks to have limited use on the battlefield, you have to place her later to make sure she wont be too far ahead of the rest of your army. Reducing her movement speed to, say, as fast as a barbarian would be a buff to her IMO.

I love the valks!!!

You have to use them smart.,clear our litter and side building with archers, blow a solid hole in the center walls and get those calls in the middle of the base. Wiped out.

They're dumb like pekkas, you have to place them similarly or they'll just circle the base.

The biggest problem with Valkyries is that they cost too much, and take too long for what they do. For the amount of damage they do, how slow they are, weak, and other stuffz they aren't worth the time and dark elixir.

Maybe when a barb king sees the valkyrie it will stop moving as if in a trance and the valkyrie does 4 times damage to him and then the archer queen comes over and kills the valk and then slaps the barb king. But seriously the valks need to become useful as troops.
