C'mon, she's not used very often because she's not really powerful. I think she should get buffed and here are the buffs I think she should get:
DPA (Damage per Attack):
- 158.4 --> 210
- 178.2 --> 228
- 199.8 --> 250
- 223.2 --> 278
Hitpoints:
- 900 --> 1000
- 1,000 --> 1,100
- 1,100 --> 1,200
- 1,200 --> 1,300
Range: 0.5 tiles --> 0.75 tiles
Or something like what I have said above. What do you think? Do Valkyries need a buff?
It's really just in the housing space, not the stats. I think reducing the housing space by 1 is sufficient tbh.
Valks are extensively used at th9 for 3 star strats. Any buff would unbalance th9. Probably an additional lvl would be useful at th10 to combat inferno towers.
There is no unbalance. For being tier 3 dark troop valkyrie still not as useful and cost wise as hog rider. Further buff is still required, especially its attack radius. Increasing it to 2.0 will be a good idea.Quote:

Valkyries are underused because:

(2) they require knowledge/skill/experience to use well.
Because of (1), (2) is a huge problem.
Reduce training time fourfold, people will then use them, donate them, see them used, and then let's see if they are good.
I suspect it will take a 1-2 housing space reduction to make them worthwhile in wars. (Except for low TH CC defense where they make little kids cry)
If you rate troops by HPS*DPS*Speed you can see that Valkyries are strong.
Make a spread sheet rating all the troops by strength. I consider the strength to be how much damage a unit can do for how long. That is HPS*DPS. Valks are fast and that is often their undoing because they get ahead of golems and become part of the meat shield. However mass valks are awesome. Valks may not last as long as golems but they will do much more damage while alive.
There was another thread about housing space. If the valk housing space was reduced a spring trap would throw 2 valks instead of one.
As the previous person said, 8 housing space is a good number.Quote:

I agree with whoever said the housing space is the problem. 8 spaces for a troop which can be taken out by spring traps is too much. I would make them and use them if they took 6 housing spaces or 7 if they couldn't be taken out by spring traps.
Adding valk lv5 for th10, lv6 for tg11.
Increases attack radius to 2.0 instead 1.0.
I bet it will be very interesting if we see valkyrie can hit buildings even behind a wall or hit 3-4 building in single blow if the attack radius is drastically increased. :3
To balance it, just decrease its dps by 15%

Level 4 valkyries are excellent troops at TH9. The only I would buff is that it seems like only half of their swing is full power. If a valkyrie was to stand between 2 buildings of the same level and type, it seems to take an extra whirlwind swing to knock out one of them. They really should both fall in the same swing. I mean, they wouldn't fall at exactly the same time because she has to complete the rotation, but she also shouldn't have to do an extra dance to make the 2nd building fall.
I can also report that Level 2 valks work pretty well at TH8 and can help early in TH9 for govalo attacks, so again...not seeing how they need a buff.
What they need are people willing to train and use them.
Spring traps...meh. I guess this is a problem if you only train like 3 valks. Same way hogs don't get real far either if you only bring 5 of them and the pack hits a spring trap. To me though, all my raids that have involved valkyries and 3 stars, I've had at least 8 valkyries. It's really fairly rare to see them get flung by a spring trap, and when they do, it's only 1 at a time. A spring trap can't fling 2 even if 9 of 'em are standing on the trap having a beverage.
I agree....a little buffing would be good including quicker swings and also, lower training costs and times.
