Valk usefulness????

Are Valks really as pointless as they seem? What is the best way to use these?
Any tips would be great. (Working on level 2 now....)

they're bad in most situations unless you can find a base with every air defense in the same compartment with the archer towers and teslas on the edge of the base for a govalo, even those bases can be easily hogged

The only time you should use Valkyries is when you're up against a completely open base in war... Thats pretty much their only advantage and use when attacking.

With your comment i can see you have used valks like 1 or 2 times, saw that you couldn't funnel them, and said valks suck so bad..
Have u also heard of govaho, great strategies at th 8 and th 9, especially in th 9 is where they shine with max valks

Opened bases?? Are you kidding? Haven't you heard of their spinning splash damage, it does damage to 2 buildings at the same time, so tight bases are its specialty.

The first time Valks shredded the core of a Max TH9 for me, and my loons pulled the 3 for me, I was hooked.

GoVaLo is my favorite attack. 2 Golem(1 more in CC, 10 Valks, 6 wiz, 10 loons, rest wallbreakers.
Basics:

-Look for bases where they can take out 2 AD, and your AQ/BK/Killsquad can get the rest.
-You MUST build a good funnel. Valks look for clustered buildings, and you need to make sure the only ones are the ones where you want them to go.
-You need to kill the CC first. Some people will just rage/heal them on the way to the core(and so do I), but if you can, kill the CC and AQ first.
-Heal them otw to the core and in the core. Rage them in the core.
-Drop balloons and applaud.

Nice!!
But the title is only referred to th 8

Hubby is a the 9, so he can play with that attack :-)
... question though... do you drop the loons on the backside or behind the calls while they are raged in the center?

So, are valks good at this attack even at a level 2, or do I have to wait till level 4 before I see something decent to work with?

Valks are hero killers and great in defense.

I use them almost every raid. Like every troop they need practice. Plenty of threads here. Search the forum.

I did a search before I posted my question... but it was all small mentions or talk on dark troops in general.... I am guessing threads about valks and how to use them in general must be buried.
Thanks for the tip. :-)

Valkyries are usable for a TH8 at lvl 2 for GoVaLo. Just make sure your funnel is solid and keep in mind to destroy storages that touch outside the base. Remember, the Valk AI prioritizes structures that touch so they can run between them to setup their Whirlwind attack.
