How to play Valkyrie in For Honor

[mmocs]

The Valkyrie in For Honor is an interesting mix of hero types, with strong defensive power, but agility that comes close to that of the more agile heroes in the game. She doesn’t have a lot of offensive power, but she makes up for that weakness by offering a strong game based around knocking an enemy down or into an environmental hazard. This For Honor Valkyrie guide will help you understand basic and advanced tactics with the character, as well as how to perform the Valkyrie Shoulder Pin, which people have trouble pulling off.

The Valkyrie has a good amount of stamina, meaning that she can comfortably throw out attempts while other classes might need to be more conservative. It’s possible to extend this advantage even further with a Ram’s Headbutt, performed by landing a guard break, then following up by holding down the guard break input. If successful, this technique robs the opponent of a big chunk of their stamina.

High-level play with the Valkyrie will likely hinge around the character’s capacity to swing between attack and defence, once players have had some time to learn her intricacies. It’s apparently possible to perform a bleed attack if her shield is position against an incoming attack, if the player dashes toward their opponent and presses heavy attack just as they block an incoming strike. This is a complex technique to pull off, but there’s a helpful demonstration at this point of the video. Best and Cheapest For Honor Steel Credits For Sale - Mmocs.com.

If you’ve played as a Peacekeeper or against a Peacekeeper you’re probably familiar with the Dashing Thrust that most players use to close in from a distance. The Valkyrie’s Pouncing Thrust is a very similar offensive tool. While it should primarily be used after scoring a knockdown with the Spear Sweep, it also has very good range and executes quickly, making it difficult for an opponent to react to it.

The Hunter’s Strike is a sidestep attack that allows the Valkyrie to evade an incoming attack and start her offensive at the same time. Both the Hunter’s Strike and Pouncing Thrust take the place of the first attack in the Boar Hunter and Thrust and Slash chain combos, allowing you to transition right to either combo immediately following these two attacks. Couple these attacks with the Dodge Counter and you can frustrate your opponents by waiting for them to attack, then countering or evading and shifting right into the Valkyrie’s Spear Sweep shenanigans.
