**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
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. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

    All you gotta do is mlll on your opponent's block pretty much. Make sure you have three pierce buffs before you throw sp2 (specials also on the block) and that's it, rinse and repeat.
    Congrats btw that's some really really good luck right there.

    As @ItsClobberinTime said, Valkyrie has a very simple rotation. However, to get the maxiumum effectiveness out of her, high to max sig is necessary

    I’ll link the forums own @BitterSteel, as he’s got a lot of Valkyrie stuff on the channel for people to watch and learn from.

    Congrats on the pull!

    Thanks for the tips
    And my luck was mostly awesome when I pop up 3 or 4 monthly crystal at once
    Most of the time I get a 6 star and also a 5 star and also sometimes 2 6stars
    (Poping up 3 or 4 was way better than spinning or pop up 5 or more crystals {atleast for me})

    No need to over-complicate her rotation. Just MLLL into block and sp2. Building bulwarks does increase fury potency from sp2, but it isn't necessary for short-medium length fights imo.

    Does she need Awken or not?

    Well, once awakened she can passively counter unstoppable effects with her pierce buff and go stun immune with bulwarks. Her unstoppable counter is the most effective one in the game as there isn't a way to get around it (i think).

    If u want to use those specific pieces of utility, she does need to be awakened. Aside from that, everything else is in her base kit itself.

    Her awakened ability is pretty great, but you have to be willing to invest sigs. There are three plateaus - one in the 60s, one in the 120s, then max sig. Basically how many pierces/bulwarks you need to stack to get access to the utility mentioned above. I took mine to max sig as being largely unstoppable immune when you hit 11 on the combo meter is pretty great.

    The play style (hitting into block) can take some getting used to, though, so she’s not for everyone.

    To add to the above comment. Her awakened ability is solid, but it might have one of the steepest returns on stones. Mine is currently at sig 105 and has the same benefit as sig 1. Based on what I see on aunt mai, you need to pass sig 120 to get any more benefit than sig 1.

    Actually I have generic gem but I am not gonna use it on her (I am saving it for Hercules or Nick Fury)

    That’s not completely true actually. Less than 60 requires 4 pierces/bulwarks to unlock the utility. Once you get into the 60s (don’t remember the exact number - 64 or 66?) it drops to 3 pierces/bulwarks. 120 something (maybe 126?) drops it to 2, then at max sig it is 1 pierce/bulwark.

    Came here to do just that! Glad someone beat me to it! BitterSteel is an amazing creator and I’m very excited to see where he’s headed.

    You are correct! Somehow got it into my head it started at 3. Thanks for setting it straight.

    Although it’s not as bad as I thought, she still has a steep curve for stones put into her. Only gets a benefit every 60+ stones. Not sure if there are other champs like that since most give an incremental benefit per stone.

    So essentially, just allow the combo meter to go up in normal gameplay, and only if you need stun immunity, then you fiddle with lowering the combo meter?

    Secondly, does the Evade charges from SP1 come into play at all? Does it essentially just let you do a 5-hit combo into the block?
