Does the Valkyrie need a Tweak (to make her more popular)?

Hi guys,

This is just to see whether the Valkyrie should get tweaked or not in your opinion.

Reason for this poll is, that I barely see the Valkyrie on the battlefield, probably being the least picked troop of them all (acc. to my perception). But maybe you guys have a different opinion. So feel free to share your opinion and give your vote :o

Cheers,
Aelm

Honestly I think Supercell should just remove the Valkyrie, I've never once been attacked by them, I've used them once and hated them. It is just a bad troop. So I think they should either make some big adjustments or remove it.

I guess valkyries aren't very good (unless if defending in CC) but hog riders are even worse.

It's costs 3mil elixir to upgrade to her. And shes expensive. The level 3 barracks needs to be cheaper, and so do valks

I tried to make a comparison of the Valkyrie vs. the Giant. Hope the image shows up.

I did a conversion of DE to Elixir to make costs comparable. Acc. to two maxed drills vs. 6 maxed collectors, there is a ratio of 1 DE : 90 Elix. Based on that, the Valkyrie would have almost 5 times the training costs and close to double the research costs. Also, you can see that her housing space and training time are significantly above giant. However, she has more DPS and slightly higher hit points.

Under the bottom line, I think the most significant difference is that the Valkyrie has no target preference while the giant goes straight for defense building, and her cooking time as well as costs make her very unattractive compared to giants.

But okay, I don't think that the Valkyrie was intended to substitute the giant. However, she does not provide many features that would somehow make her interesting in any gameplay strategy (whether farming or trophy hunting).

I think she needs a special target like defenses or resources

I think to get lvl 3 dark barracks should cost less, make her cost less, give her a special target (I suggest resources to make her more popular), and make it coat leas to upgrade her.

The Valkyrie costs 50k De to upgrade. Are you thi king of the pekka?

I've seen a full army of lvl 2 Valkyrie attack

and it SUCKED

reduce building time to 5 min and she will be atractive!

What I think the Valkyrie needs is a flaming axe because it takes her a while between hits fire would slowly damage the buildings by about 15dps the fire will go away in about 3 see enough time for the valkri to give another hit and set the building on fire again

A Valkyrie can be used for two things..

1) Defense: Having a Valkyrie in your cc can be a real pain to your opponent and can easily kill a handful of troops.

2) Offense: lure out cc troops to a corner and when they are all together deploy a Valkyrie to kill them all in 1-2 swings

I don't use dark troops because I like to save up for hero upgrades. Nonetheless, I would like to see a few changes. I don't have a problem with the training time, you only need 2, 3 at most in your army and with two barracks you can easily have 2 in 15 minutes. Housing space should be reduced from 8 to 5 and the cost to train should also be decreased a little.

Well, I think that a wizard can do the same but better. Maxed wizard (compared to maxed Valk) has more than double the DPS, a fracture of the training costs, and for the Valk's housing space you could have two wizards. Plus wizard has ranged attack and he can attack air as well. The wizard is a multi-purpose war machine compared to the Valkyrie.
You can compare the stats on Wiki for yourself.

Valk just needs the same thing the healer got. Lower cost and training time. Less to upgrade the barracks. Less to upgrade the troop, but probably not increase In power

I only see minions and golems being used. Minions are cheap and effective at getting the job done. Golems are expensive, but HECK! They have 4500 hit points and are insanely great for tanking higher level villages. You send a hog rider or valkryie out there to attack a TH7 8 or 9's village, and they'll get decimated by a single cannon. They need lower housing spaces, more damage, and less training time. Also less Dark Elixir costs. I completely agree with your post.

Yeah, the hog rider is definitely due for an overhaul as well :o
