Valkyries deal double damage to Inferno Towers

Problem 1: Inferno Towers
As the game currently stands, there is a major problem - TH10 is unbalanced. As a max TH9, I have trouble even 2-starring TH10s with infernos and a decent layout. Even for TH10s, infernos are a major issue. It's so bad, there are major war players who will never upgrade to TH10, so called "perma-TH9s". The fact is that TH9 v. TH9 is balanced and enjoyable, but TH10 is not. Personally, I don't think the infernos should be nerfed. TH10s deserve a tough defense, especially since it costs DE. But right now it has no weakness.

Problem 2: Valkyries
Now, another problem: the Valkyrie. Even though it has been upgraded over the past year, it still serves no purpose in most major war strategies. Sure, valkyries are fun, and can be used very well against a bad base layout, but no current major war strategies utilizes Valkyries. Most TH9 players don't even upgrade them until last.

Solution
Make Valkyries deal double damage to inferno towers. Think about it. It would give this under-utilized troop a real role. It would give TH9s at least a sliver of a chance of battling TH10s. TH10 would become more balanced as new attack strategies developed. And it's not too over-powered, as getting valkyries into a TH10 core is no easy feat.

Example upgrade chart
Level 1: 1x dmg to infernos
Level 2: 1x dmg to infernos
Level 3: 1.5x dmg to infernos
Level 4: 2x dmg to infernos
(Perhaps even give TH10s level 5 w/ 3x dmg to infernos??)

I think this would be a great win for TH9 and TH10 players, and would lead to some new, interesting strategies as well as bring some balance to the game. Thoughts?

Valkyries are almost useless, I never saw them in action except when filling war cc of a th4 or th5.
Me and alot of my friends were gonna max th9 and stay there until a maxed th10 can somehow 3☆ another maxed th10 without being so lucky.
A maxed th10 can barely 2☆ a maxed th10, so what u think about th9 trying to 2☆th 10?

Perhaps they would be more useful, if their key target was an inferno, and/or they could throw their axes in order to attack air units as well.. I think you are onto something there! CHEERS!

I agree, except I think that they should deal constant multiplicative damage to infernos at all levels. What I mean is have them deal 50% or 75% ( either way ) more damage to infernos, not changing at each level. The DPS already goes up, so I don't think we have to make infernos useless.

I see what your saying about inferno towers being hard to take down and all but what if instead of messing with Valkyries stats we work on a new creature/troop like the dark scorpion how bout make its fav target the inferno tower and have it take reduced dmg from the tower as its a desert dwelling creature like .25% less at lvl 1 or something sorry to hyjack your post its not with out merit.

My question is that as th9, why would you think you should be able to 2 star a th10?

Since Max valks are available at th9, your proposal would make it easy for a th9 to star a th10, which shouldn't be the case.

I dunno, you haven't answered the question of valks being useless though. Tweaking valks still makes sense and would be a bit more convenient.

I think this a good idea, Valkeries definitely need a buff

While I would slightly disagree that valks are currently worthless they could definitely have a higher purpose. As you point out with no AI tweeks it would still require funnelling skills. (No spamming) TH9s might be able to handle a preme 10 but max 10 would still be impossible. And 10 on 10 crime would be more balanced.

And I am one of those permanent th9s you mentioned until balance issue is handled. Whether this or other ideas.
