As a long time valkyr main she always felt kind of like a glass (pre shield gating) cannon sidegrade with a bit of ‘new frame thats just a better rework of an existing frame’ thrown in. A dream to play for melee enjoyers with solid claws, forced slash and a leap ability that’s just really nice and makes me super jealous that hysterias leap augment is so bad (insert rant).
She is starting to show her age just a little bit with melee arcanes not being equippable on her claws and blood altar generally being outclassed by gloom or companion healing options.
