To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC.

Valkyrie's Mechanics
Long live the King! As the current monarch of New Asgard, Valkyrie’s fighting style is measured, thoughtful, and above all: forceful. She encapsulates this with two core pillars: controlling her Combo Meter, and hitting into Block.
Fighting with her head as well as her significant brawn, Valkyrie can control the direction that her Combo Meter moves, and gains Buffs whenever it passes a multiple of 10. Through skill and planning, a canny player can optimize the rate at which they gain these Buffs, and reach her maximum damage output much faster.
These Buffs are Pierce, a Buff that increases both her Block and Armor Penetration, and Bulwark, a staple that increases her own Block Proficiency. While Valkyrie’s sheer combat prowess has far surpassed that of nearly all Asgardian warriors, these Buffs provide a link to her Cosmic roots with a Skill based twist: if they are ever Nullified, they transform into Passives with double the original potency!
Once Valkyrie is stocked up on Buffs, she uses her Heavy Attack to Intimidate the Opponent into Blocking, and then follows up with a Special 2 to initiate an all out assault on their feeble defenses. During this window, every hit into the Opponent’s Block inflicts hugely inflated damage as well as some massive instant Bleeds!
BASE STATS & ABILITIES
Health | Attack | PI (Max Signature) | |
3-Star | 6730 | 525 | 1878 |
4-Star | 16876 | 1317 | 4826 |
5-Star | 33837 | 2640 | 10720 |
6-Star (Rank 3, Level 45) | 43600 | 3401 | 13780 |
Character Class: Skill
Basic Abilities: Pierce, Bulwark, Purify, Intimidate
STRENGTHS:
- Block Penetration
- Valkyrie gains Pierce Buffs as her Combo increases, which grant her a tonne of Block and Armor Penetration, allowing her to cut through her Opponent’s defenses with ease. Many of Valkyrie’s abilities scale with her Block Penetration, and she benefits greatly from hitting into her Opponent’s Block.
- Block Proficiency
- Valkyrie gains Bulwark Buffs as her Combo decreases, heavily reinforcing her Block Proficiency and allowing her to stand resolute against even the most dangerous threats to Asgard.
- Intimidate Debuff
- Using her Heavy Attack, Valkyrie can Intimidate the Opponent, making them more likely to Block and lowering their Block Proficiency. This creates the perfect opportunity for Valkyrie to deal them some seriously massive chip damage!
- Purify Non-Damaging Debuffs
- As Valkyrie’s Block Proficiency rises above its base levels, she gains a scaling chance to instantly Purify Non-Damaging Debuffs, topping off at 90% with 3 Bulwark Buffs and 1 Bulwark Passive.
- Nullify Resistance
- When an Opponent tries to Nullify one of Valkyrie’s Pierce or Bulwark Buffs, they only put themselves in more danger, as when these Buffs expire, they transform into Passives with double the original potency!
- Defensive Block Abilities
- Valkyrie benefits hugely from hitting into her Opponent’s Block, but if the Opponent has an ability that triggers when Blocking, that can be dangerous for her.
- Bleed Immunity
- Though the majority of Valkyrie’s damage is raw physical damage dealt through Block, she deals a significant amount of damage through her instant Bleeds, so against a Bleed Immune opponent she loses about a third of her DPS.
- Combo Breakers
- Because Valkyrie’s gameplay revolves around controlling her Combo Meter, things that mess with her Meter, such as Counter-Evades, can really trip her up. Fortunately she has some protection against this with her Combo Shield, but that protection has its limits.
ABILITIES:
The following Stats and Abilities are based on a Rank 5, Level 65, 5-Star Champion
Always Active:
- Valkyrie gains +1 Combo Meter when striking into an Opponent’s Block, as well as 1.1% of her Max Power.
- When striking into her Opponent’s Block with 3 or more active Pierce effects, her mythical sword Dragonfang cuts through their defenses to inflict an instant Bleed dealing them 1848 Direct Damage, scaling with her Block Penetration.
- When afflicted by a Non-Damaging Debuff, Valkyrie’s conviction gives her up to a 90% chance to Purify it, scaling with her Block Proficiency.
- Valkyrie starts the fight with an indefinite passive Combo Shield that, when struck, prevents her from losing Combo for 3 seconds before falling off. As a Defender, this Shield does not fall off when struck while below 11 Combo.
Combo Meter:
- Performing Valkyrie's Light Combo Ender inverts her Combo Gain. While inverted, any time the Combo Meter would increase or decrease by any amount, it changes by the opposite amount instead, excluding Combo lost when struck. This ability is unaffected by Ability Accuracy.
- Performing her Medium Combo Ender reverts her Combo Gain back to normal. It is also reverted at any time her Combo is less than 3.
- Whenever Valkyrie's Combo Meter rises past a multiple of 10, she gains an indefinite Pierce Buff of 1233 potency. Maximum of 3.
- Whenever Valkyrie's Combo Meter drops past a multiple of 10, she gains an indefinite Bulwark Buff, granting 700 Block Proficiency. Maximum of 3.
- When a Pierce or Bulwark Buff is replaced, consumed, or expires off of Valkyrie for any reason, she gains a Passive version of that Buff with double the original potency for 5 second(s).
Heavy Attack:
- The final hit of this attack consumes all of Valkyrie’s Pierce and Bulwark Buffs, and inflicts an Intimidate Debuff on the Opponent, making them more defensive and reducing their Block Proficiency by 20, and lasting 1.2 second(s) for each Buff consumed this way.
- This attack grants Valkyrie no Power.

RECOMMENDED MASTERIES
Assassin:
- With one of Valkyrie’s weaknesses being Defensive Block triggers, the Defensive Ability Accuracy reduction from Assassin helps to avoid some of those triggers.

Is this based on Bulwark buffs, meaning she needs 3 Bulwark buffs (since Max 3) to have that 90% chance?
Is it based on the actual block proficiency number, meaning Guardian's synergy increases the chance to purify?
What is her base chance, like 50% to Purify?
