    Still, that doesn't stop them from being useful:

    The problem is that you habve to make a decision at th9:
    .) You upgrade them to lvl4 and have a good cw troop. They are better at th9 than pekkas, but at th10 I would prefer pekkas lvl5 after the poison spell. No need to battle so many small units any more.
    .) You dont upgrade them and use them in early th10 as a farmy unit. This works great because they make your army stronger so you can hit th9 storages. And they dont cost elixir and you can stop upgrading heroes and focus on your elixir upgrades first (giants, goblins, barch, army camps etc.) Especially with jump and rage they can be really poweful.

    If you upgrade them at th9 using them for farming is not an option any more. I would love to see 70/80/90/100 de instead of 70/100/130/160.
    The cost on lower levels was lowered in an update to make them more attractive at lower levels, but it only prevented them at higher levels. I like the idea of them coexisting with pekkas. Pekkas can be good against infernos on multi while valks smash the singles, but unfortunately you dont see many singles any more because thisnmeans you can take them down with some giants and more wizards as well. In my opinion a golem/lavahound should attract 2 inferno beams so you can use gowipe against multis and giwiva against singles. Another option would be that singles have golems/pekkas as preferred target.

    I think Valks are a great troop but I guess I am biased playing in \/alhalla. Like any troop you have to know how to use them and what their function is as part of your army. They are not, however, the be all and end all of any attack. They play their part along with the rest of your troops.

    They don't have either huge Tank value or massive DPS but sit in between with good pace and splash damage.Valks need to be funneled to the core which they will wipe out in short order under rage or heal. You need the rest or your army to complete the job with them.

    Always liked Valks, but only used them sporadically. yesterday used them for the first time for about 7 months in a GoVaHo and only got 1 star, 97% on a max th9 base but ran out of time, but I made 3 mistakes in the raid, no mistakes and it would have been a comfortable 3. I think like with every troop they are viable for particular layouts, but because GoWiXX and other comps are more versatile people are less likely to put the effort into learning a strategy less versatile.

    the spring trap excuse for not liking them is utter nonsense though, only 1 Valk is killed by a spring trap, and that's if they don't outrun it, which they usually do.

    same goes for giant bombs, apart from the fact that Valks survive them fine, they are just as affected by them as every other troop that triggers them, except hogs who are more affected.

    I can see why Valks might not be viable for th10 to use, but while I'm a th9 I will continue to use them, or at the very least make sure I can do good enough raids with them for Valks to be another club in the bag so to speak.

    Personally I think they need another level at th10, and could possibly benefit from having troop space brought down to 6, but being made unaffected by springs (perhaps not setting them off even). Although the troop space reduction with spring immunity isn't needed imo.

    Two AQs in the field, meaning both the attacker and defender are TH9.

    The Valhalla thread has more successful valk attacks against TH10s.

    But you can keep stating excuses and continue being an skeptic.

    Valkyries have only one fault: They are not OP, neither were OP at one point. If they at least were OP like hogs were then they would have a bigger following and way more exposure on Youtube, and they would continue being popular even if they were later nerfed back to the stats they have in-game currently.

    Um I posted FOUR 3 stars at 3500-3600 th level

    You could fault it for something else but it's not 1, 2 or even 3 attacks - it's four

    Which is why I waited for those 3 stars to make the video

    A few successful attacks and now they're a great troop and better than pekkas. Your few successful attacks on a thread in the millions of attacks that occur daily are not even considered a trend. If they were truly that great, everyone would be using them.

    They are a better troop at th9 compared to pekka. At th10, pekka pull ahead due to two extra levels. People don't use Valkyries because the unit isn't as popular and simple to use compared to pekka. That and it cost de, not elixirs. At th8, they are very comparable. So which th are you comparing Valkyries to pekka at? Because the screenshot provided are at th9.

    TH10. He talked about a little thread about destroying TH10s with them, which definitely means that all valk attacks are 3 stars. Right? I mean it's definitely logical. Right?

    At TH9, I'll give you that. TH10, not even good.
