I would love it so much if it was lowered by one space, maybe even two spaces. It is a very useful troop. I bet many more people would use them but right now they don't because it takes up 7 spots. Please Lower it :)

Right now, a spring trap can only spring one valkyrie. If Supercell lowered the housing space, even by just 1 space, that would mean that a spring trap could spring two valks. That would be bad.Quote:

Now Healers have been improved, I feel Valks are now the most underutilised troop in the game. I think this would definitely help improve it. I also think that the lab costs should be lower, but that won't happen. Nice thought OP:thumbsup:
I like using them. Agree that don't like 7 housing space for the spring trap issue. However I think they're fine but just the cost needs to be lowered slightly. Maybe a slight HP buff could be in order.
I'm a new TH 9 and I sometimes war with 2 golems (level 2), and 10 valks (level 2), and wizards. Don't like that it cost 2050 DE for that army.
I like valks, but I just rarely find it effective to use them. It's either the cook time, or the cost. The cook time isn't too bad, since they don't cook in the normal barracks, so you could add them to a standard barch or GiBarch army, and end up reducing the time slightly. Also, there are times when DE cost isn't an issue. Like right now, I'm sitting at 35k DE as a TH8, so I'm already at the lootable cap. My king is level 10, and I'm working on elixir research, so DE isn't important right now.Quote:

I even bring 1-2 hogs to lure CC, since a few raids went south when valks took on wizards from the CC.
Anyway, I've been making a DE profit on average, despite spending 140-280 DE per raid on valks, plus replacing a hog every other raid. So they're effective. It's just hard to convince yourself they're effective, until you've done a couple dozen raids with them.
They are the best defensive troop in the game. They are fast, tank, and deliver lots of damaged to bunched up attacking troops.
I love watching them pop out and run to the outside to attack a hero with all the dragons chasing them, that's always funny. its also nice if you were worried about how the dragons had gotten to the middle of your base and now you are not worried.
IMO, that is definitely only true TH6 and below. TH7 and above it is open to debate.Quote:
