Only to get her as a 6*… very happy but, does she needs to be awakened?
Are there any Valkyrie fans out here?

But without her dupe & high sig I can't see any area where she'll be useful except for some invade type nodes which are not that common
Shouts out to @BitterSteel for demonstrating the utility of Valk’s base kit here, completely ignoring the Hazard Shift node. She’s got more uses than you’d expect at first glance, plus she’s an absolute nuke.
Because the fury she gets on sp2 is based on the total of pierce and bulwark buffs. So just an extra 3 buffs might have given double the damage and a faster finish, because when it comes to war, not only the solo that matters but also the duration that comes in clutch situations
There are ways to force the AI to dash in for an intercept and dash back too
fear not, I actually found the perfect compromise between not wasting a bar of power and saving time. Because I agree with Wicket that you don't want to waste an SP1 because that's about 45 seconds to a minute of fighting, that's a lot of time just to reverse combo.
However, I do agree with Parasite that you want to get those extra bulwark, not only good for damage but block proficiency and for shrugging off debuffs.
So as this video above was my first time ever bringing her into war, I didn't have all the strategies worked out. Luckily, the next fight I used her in was an R4 rintrah boss and I figured out how to get the best of both worlds. If you throw your L2 after a 5 hit combo ending with light attack, you revert your combo back and start gaining bulwark without having to waste 45 seconds or a PS1 just for 1 L1.
Here's what I mean. Go to 1:35 for the reversal.
Alternatively, you can finish a combo with light into block just before throwing sp2, meaning you reverse combo safely without having to use an sp1.
If either she had the ability to maintain her fury or atleast a bit longer with her sigs she would have been one of the god tier. It’s so risky to take down rintrah without doing a heavy with val. Rintrah needs to be hit by heavy to lose his charges and Val loses her buffs when hitting heavy. That was an amazing rintrah take down mate. Genius work
Just curious on this part though. It’s not really risky at all, because Rintrah only gets charges when you hit him, so hitting him through block doesn’t give him any charges - hence not needing to knock him down ever.
Valkyrie is one of the safest Rintrah counters in the game, and bear in mind the video I shared was an unboosted R3 Valk against an R4. So speed isn’t so much of an issue either
Valkyrie is unbelievably safe for Galan. I dealt with one harvest in this video, but he had one more ready at the end. Either way, I would have ended with enough health to survive about 3 more harvests - but lets be honest, he isn't surviving that long.
All you need to do is not hit him, since he'll gain physical/energy resist buffs and get harvest quicker. Overall, with conduit I see her as the safest counter - Rintrah works great, but is a little slow only relying on rupture damage. Valk is a 2 min fight, dealing with 1/2 harvests. She's great, and doesn't need to be awakened at all to do this sort of thing
chances are less but even if we get struck with valk and the rng is good then it might work.
I may be wrong with this conception too
