Personally Valks are not very good.Quote:

Uh.....
Get PEKKA first..
Go for the PEKKA man. You can't do anything with Valkyries atm. But you can atleast try GiWiPE before you unlock the Golem.
Comparing valks to pekka... Pekkas have a lot more health, valks have higher movement speed and a little more damage. Valks though, will get killed which results in dps loss. However... They do deal damage to more buildings at once. At the end of the day. It is your choice. Choose wisely. I hope my feedback was constructive.Quote:

Valks are dark elixir troops, so to make much use of them, you'll need a good supply.
From a war perspective, valks are superior defensive CC troops. Also, it can be beneficial to the clan to have a range of different attack strategies available. If all of your clan mates do nothing but gowipe, you may be screwed when you come upon a group with anti-gowipe bases which knows how to defeat your bases.
Depending on the size of your clanmates' clan castles, getting valks may be more helpful to the clan. You can't donate a 25 space pekka to someone who hasn't maxed clan castle for town hall 8, but you can donate at least one valkyrie to anyone.
I haven't used a pekka in months but I use valks fairly regularly. There are a lot more 3 star options with valks than with pekkas
i would suggest getting golems at 8 and maybe even upgrading them before 9. Golems are the most important tanking unit in the game. I'd rather have high level golems for a LaLoon attack than high level hounds. if you decide against using golems then valks are the way to go! Giant/healer/valk/wizard will 3 any th8. You can also do amazing VaHo attacks at 8 as well.
Get golems, seriously. GoHo, GoWiVa, GoVaHo, and GoWiPe are what you need to be using at th8 with the occasional HoLoWi. Don't use dragons. They make you form bad attacking habits.
I'd recommend pekkas first, because they make monster dps tanks. Both are great a work well together.
Vals are the best support troop in the game. Don't have to worry about CC, they catch agro the best, can out run spring traps, and make great off tanks.
They take more skill to use though, which is why people don't like them.
I'm thinking of the P.E.K.K.A because since i won't use golems until th9 cuz my dark elixir supply is low and valks are usually used for defense, my clan has an offensive style so i guess PEKKA might be it since it's good for offense. Thank you guys for helping me make this decision. May you Clash On! 👍
There are players in my clan wiping out high level TH9s with L1 and L2 Valks. You'll have access to both of those at TH8.
How can you not like a unit that has more HP than a L7 giant, is as fast as a goblin and does the splash damage of a wizard?
If you think Valks are useless... you aren't doing it right. Here is a guide that may help you:

Valks first so you can work towards getting golems. No point in having PEKKAs without golems.
For a Th8, Valks work out way better as compared to Pekkas! After Valks, you acn work your way to unlocking Golems. Pekkas without Golems aren't that effective. As for GiWiPe, Giants don't do well as compared to Golems, especially Lvl 5 Giants, they are too weak to be replacing Golems.
Pekka
Dps: 240
Health: 2800
Space: 25
Movespeed: 24
Damage Type: Single
Fav. target: Any
Valks
Dps: 88 [264]*
Health: 900 [2700]*
Space: 8
Movespeed: 24
Damage Type: Splash
Fav. target: Any [Although it doesn't say but Valks go for Clumped up structures]
*Where 3 Valks (24 spaces)can cover up the space of 1 Pekka (25 space)
Cons of using Valks
Splash damage [Can be overcome by using Heal spells]
Spring Traps
Note: I've seen a few people 3 star maxed Th9s in war using Only Valks army [maxed ofc] but never saw anyone do it with Only Pekka army cuz that would be dumb. :p
You might wanna check this thread out as well for Valks: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...kyrie-Handbook
Pekka will be easier than Valkyrie ~ if you can mix with healer will be better :cool:
You can try to watch my video it might help you for your decision:D

Golems should be a priority over pekkas.
Nio here
I run Valhalla - we 3 star with Valks ALL the time
Someone posted a like to my handbook - sooo you could visit after our push if you need 1st hand experience
Pekkas are fairly ♥♥♥♥ most times. It is hard to think of a scenario where you really benefit from bringing pekkas over other units, maybe aside from tanking multi-inferno fire while still getting the TH. Skelly traps were a pretty big nerf to them; ties them up for a really long time.
Depending on what you intend to use them for often 3 valks or a cc of lvl 7 giants do better at the job.
Valkyries aren't useless, they were terrible before the updat but now they destroy two bases at once, i farm, trophy push, and war with Valkyries. i would say Valks, then get golems (don't wait til th9) so you can start doing GoViZ but hogs and Valks is what a lot of my th8 clanmates use. Pekkas aren't good unless you have golems (they're basically only good when you have golems aswell) while valks are used in more methods check out the \/alhalla files after you get those valks. Have fun with one of the best troops in the game
