Making the Valkyrie worth using

I get what SC is doing with the Valk here. She's roughly 1/3 of a PEKKA, based on HP, DPS, and housing space. I don't mind the 15min train time at all. The only complaint I have with her is spring traps. A unit that takes up 8 housing spaces and cost quite a bit of valuable DE is easily wiped out by one of the cheapest traps in the game. I would propose balancing her out by slowing down her run speed in exchange for immunity to traps, just like her counterpart PEKKA. Even taking out her splash component would suffice. Anything to stop her from blitzing into an enemy's inner compartments only to have a whole group of her instantly wiped out by a spring trap..

Usually in my case valks move right over my spring traps.. :/
I always thought it was because it was supposed to be this way because she was so fast... Haha

She does if they are in the open, but most smart players put them next to a wall or structure, so she stops right on them... I mean 8 housing space is way too big of a unit to be affected by this trap IMO...

I have never used valks as main attack force, and I'm pretty sure i never will. If not SC does some real magic and buff her... again!

But she isn't completly useless, with her 1,200HP and 223 splash damage pr hit she takes care of most cc troops, for example... max wizards, archers, barbs wiches and her skeletons in one hit.

Used valks in war in a base with centralized heroes. But you should bring at least ten though. On a side note i also think they should make the valkyrie immune to spring traps. And hp a bit higher. Valkyries tend to advance farther compared to other troops.

No! Don't make it 15 min again! Valkyries only need to have their splashing attack as wide as... Wallbreaker perhaps? :3 so it can hit buildings even from behind walls... Also hit more buildings in single swipe.

Valks are OP at TH9, what needs to be done is fix the fact that infernos are stupid overpowered.

Get 8 Valkyries in the core with a Heal, and they'll tear it down in a matter of seconds.

Valkyries are very effective troops, you just need to learn how to use them properly.

I second this

Yeap valks are beasts. No buff required. I often use them at th9 for 3 star strats. Check out onehive or gadhi hh for correct execution.
