Why so much hate for valks?

1: Housing space

2: Training time

3: Predictability. Usually, it's fairly easy to know where a troop will go if there are no walls in the way. A valk is a different case entirely. It can become better with practice, but there always is a bit of randomness during the raid.

I get a 3 star every time I use Valkyries :)
Every attack that uses valkyries that I can still replay:

Everybody hates valks because they hate women. The clash of clans community is anti-feminist.

Any good base doesnt have many buildings right next to each other, so their main strength of hitting multiple buildings is negated. They are great on noob clumped up bases.

Valkyries are fun to use
I use them in raids using GiWiVa, and I 3starred a th8 eqrlier with some max defenses
I don't hate them, I just don't think I'll be upgrading them before my war troops, but definitely be upgrading them before dark spells, healer, goblin and drags when I maxed all my lab upgrades at th10, probably a year from now lol

I am a part of a global top 200 alliance. We war against the best clans in the game. I am currently ranked in the top 50 in the us, and i can say with certainty, the best war clans and the best cup hunters in the game do not use valks.

The bold text is just nonsense. Do the math and that becomes obvious. It’s hard to accept the rest of the post at face value when there is such a glaring falsehood in it. Most troops are slowed or killed outright by double giant bombs

Valks in full flight outrun spring traps. Except gobs, no other troops manage that.

So why is all archers or barch popular for farming? :smirk:

I hate them because their lifespan is severely limited. At Lv4, which is reserved for mid to max TH9 they are solid.

Outside of that they are useless. Far better options at TH8 like Hogs, and lv5 PEKKAs far better than them for TH10.

I don't like Valks because they take up too much space and their huge axes dont prevent them from getting tossed by spring traps.

TH10 almost all max troops and valks still lvl1 lol

You never use them maybe because level one only? Then you are not have the right to discuss about valkyrie strategies.
