New Troop: Level 5 Valkyrie

[ChiefCallery]

The unit space is critical. The biggest negatives I get when I take to fellow players about valkyries is that they take too much space and take to long to make. Hence why no one uses them.

However, I do see your point about 4x-5x maybe a bit too powerful. 4x would be 600dps and 5x would be 750dps. Huge hits on heroes and would wipe out troops in a single spin of her axe. Yet, having them have that unique feature is what would gravitate players to use them more. How about them being able to do double (2x) vs heroes/troops?

[ChiefCallery]

Thanks blametruth! I totally agree they need something special to make them more attractive to players. Someone in the new ideas & feature section talked about giving the valkyries the ability to throw their axe at flying troops. Not a bad idea.

Double damage is good against heroes and troops but i don't think Valkyries should prioritise them over other targets.

[ChiefCallery]

Ah I see what your saying. Problems and issue would definitely arise when archers are behind a wall shooting and the valkyrie is trying to get to them.

So let's keep them having that unique attack bonus of 2x (maybe 3x&#128513 against heroes/troops but keep their favorite target as anything. What do ya think?

[ChiefCallery]

I would also like to emphasize the way this character would look with golden armor to replace what look to be cotton cloths. And have a wing-helm shape helmet to sorta bounce off of the barbarians horn-helm.

What do you guys think?

The concept of a valkyrie is whats bad, theyre strong and do a 360 attack, but they dont do well offensively

[ChiefCallery]

I disagree, I think the concept is a good one. It certainly goes with the theme of the game and characters. It's the troops stats and ultimate appearance that are bad. It is in the game and most likely here to stay. So why not make it so people can use her by combining them in their style of attack. At the moment this is hardly possible, esp in master league where hogs still run rampant. Valkyries cost more and need a higher level dark barracks to get. She should be a master level troop and maybe low level champion. I know it bugs not only me but other players too that this troop is never used.

Valkyries at present are pretty lame. They definitely can use a make over. And yeah the spacing makes no sense the the payoff for space taken up and time to train is not worth it as it stands. Dark troops should be the most feared -I haven't seen any youtube vids of valkyries devastating a high level base but I have seen for all other dark troops (there's a reason for this)

[ChiefCallery]

That true, there aren't many videos of valkyries kicking butt. Especially at crystal and master, where hogs (which you must have a lower level barracks to get) do better than valks. I'm starting to see more and more people complaining about the valkyries. I think Supercell will make some changes, they listen to the player community.

I would love to see the valkyrie to start being used more. It is a really cool troop and i think that if had a decent upgrade for lvl 5 then i would be great.
