She’s not underrated, I just don’t think that many players have her yet. Once the new featured 6* crystal comes out I’m sure we’ll see plenty of R3 and R4 Valks as well as some showcases.
It’s hard to say a champ is underrated when the only people who have them are the ones who either got extremely lucky or whaled out for them. Give the community some time to actually pull them first
I was one that was lucky enough to pull her from her early access bundles. She is extremely good in the damage department, 100k special 2s in the first 40 seconds. Her sig ability (albeit is only practical at max sig) brings decent utility. The playstyle of hitting into your opponents block and never directly hitting them I think has a lot of utility on its own. I brought mine to rank 3 and am hesitant to bring her as my first skill rank 4 (debating on her, Nick, KP, or a guilty pleasure rank up). She has her flaws but I think her and Masacre own an entire playstyle of the skill class, I hope the community can come up with some even better uses for her.
I love valkyrie so much.... she's my favorite champion in the game. Forget about doom, omega sentinel, ghost, and the rest of that meta ****
I agree. I pulled her from a featured crystal and SHE TOOK A SPECIAL SPOT IN MY HEART. Her dmg is insane, utility is average and her invert and revert combo mechanic is just mind blowing. She can just destroy champs without hitting them. Imma r3 her as soon as I can
I just pulled her recently and took her against winter soldier.
I was very impressed by her damage. I ramped her up and did the whole sp2 into block thing. Huge numbers there.
So, very impressed with her damage. Certainly think she is good. My only thing is I struggle to find a "reason" to rank her up. She just kind of lacks utility aside from shrugging debuffs and dealing all her damage through block imo. So where do you see yourself using her?
What do people think about whether to throw her heavy attack and lose your buffs? I tend not to.
Well when you throw her heavy you are going to get passive copies of those buffs for a short time, and the enemy has their block proficiency dropped further. That said you throw her heavy, they become defensive so you hit into their block with a 5 hit. Follow up with your sp2 into their block and you do some insane damage.
The bonuses from her heavy, her sp2, and her pierce and bulwarks becoming passive when removed for any reason, all work together for some insane damage into the enemies block for a short time.

One of best counters to unstoppable in game. Stun immunity. Stun immunity good in few isolated scenarios but unstoppable counter is awesome in many cases.

You're probably missing her dupe then, best unstoppable counter in the game while simultaneously being a top 2 stun counter

Yeah, I’d say she’s pretty cool.
Super jealous. Awesome rank up tho
#2 SPOT DOESN'T SUCK AT ALL

She'll shine shortly.
The number of pierces you have reduce the opponents DAA when striking their block by a set amount, maxing at 100 percent with 4 perhaps?
Also maybe even lower their OAA by a set amount based on her bulwark buffs.
The DAAR would be much more important and wanted for me of course. Man that would've been awesome.
