Valkyries......

[Morpheous]

IF the rumors are true about War Stars is true. WHY do I say this? Because they are tanks who take out anything and under the new stars system its how MUCH of a base you destroy not just getting to the core. I don't use them but they are tanks and go after anything, can rip apart walls, and do good damage, so they'll be more important. Just like drags fell out of favor above TH8, they'll be making a comeback some too. at least in attacking TH9 if drags get to level 5. Because they attack everything and ignore walls. New bases will operate to keep someone from running wild destroying anything in its path. Thats what Valks and Drags do. You'll start to see more I bet.

There are two issues with valks. The first being training time. If you have time or gems to cook them they definitely can be useful in full scale attacks. But the cook time is just too long to use in any type of standard farming army. They just aren't efficient.

The second issue is that their are other troops that you can swap them out for and be just as effective. I see people on this forum say they 2 star maxed th10s with a valk army. Which is very true. But you can do the same thing with PEKKAs and not use DE and be able to spread your training time out over more barracks.

I use 3 max valks 1 max wiz and 2 archers in my cc when I attack

Personally I have never used mine. I don't know why, it just seems I have never gotten around to it. They are excellent clan castle troops for lower level townhalls, though. They make for some funny clan war defences.

I've been debating doing something with my valks as well. I've maxed everything at TH 9 (troops/defenses/spells/bombs/buildings ) except valks, walls, & heroes & was thinking about putting my heros on hold & maxing valks but idk

[ZachBrumby]

I am a TH10 with max troops, and I still like to mix in 4-6 valks in my gowi__ raids, because they are so good at dealing with heros and cc troops and skellies. However, my valks are the same level as a TH9's valks. The TH9s in our clan who know how to use valks are just killing it in wars.

When they are maxed level and you know how to use them, they can be really effective.

that's the point.. they need to be maxed to be "effective" we want them to be good before that so we can have a taste and not grind all the way up until they can do something...

i tried them lvl1.. meh...
lvl2 oh good.. but cannot take much than a mid th8
lvl3? didn't tried it yet.. i'm waiting till i have lvl4.. which won't be my next upgrade.. so i won't tell until another month

[Valtiel]

Is it just me or this particular unit is COMPLETELY useless....... Im a th9 and ive never used them but one time and i didnt even enjoy them much. Thoughts anyone?

I'm pretty sure you're one of the many who still have them at L1... Valks are underrated and most people don't know how to use them properly and test their full potential.

[samsaam]

Been using them since lvl 1 and each lvl increase has been a noticablely big difference. At lvl 3 now about to go lvl 4. I switched to them when I wasnt doing too well with pekkas and havent looked back. Th9 btw.

[lethaltriad]

Valks are the only DE troop I haven't maxed or even upgraded yet
