✮Miki's Path to the Valkyrie Guide✮

[Syrammie]

im really enjoying this guide~(and im not one to use guides very much) i didnt get very far when i tried to make a lancea when it came out, but after this, i decided to turn her into a valkyrie and i love it!!

i used to main my tempest but since the nerfs to tempest, valkyrie my new fav :3

I cant think of a burstier class than Valkyrie other than Saint, also wb!

[Sahoko]

would you say this class is more burst focus or the other lancer lass? (sorry a bit new to lancer haven't played since sin update)

Valkyries are light based class; so you don't need a converted gem. just get light gems (epics for 90 or 93, or 80 lgrade gems if using rdnLs). but any other class that doesnt have ele-based skills, then you need to convert ex: dragoons you need to ele-convert, valkyries you do not need to

Hey, very nice guide and super helpful for me. I have a question for the gearing on light element. It says to try to get 42% light but for the primary weapon should I get the "Lightning Flame Enhanced Dragon Gem" to convert all my damage to light or should I just get dragon gems that have a boost in light attack. The "Lightning Flame Enhanced Dragon Gem" converts my damage to light attack but it does -15% Light Damage, so I'm not sure what to do at this point. Thanks in advanced!

Hello! I'm glad it helps. You will want to get regular light gem, since all our damage come from light~ conversion gem is for non-elemental class and Valkyrie is naturally light since all our EX skills are light and basically 90%+ of our dmg.

Gearing section is done, almost done and thanx for your patience have another video!

Update: Rotations almost done. Im almost there but not enough time >.< I rely on someone for grammar checks and they had to sleep!

thanks for the reply. this is a pretty good guide.

Ty c: I updated with color coding and some changes to spear of light in skill explanations, thanks to lamian for pointing it out also!

Not atm, crit is pretty easy to get at least 70% for lencea, but once more 93 cap content comes out, we will have to focus more on crit or else our dmg will suffer greatly since it all happens at once. S:

is it expensive to max crit on valkyrie?

Now I'm itching to play Valkyrie again...
A couple points:
I don't think Lingering Swing EX is that weak. It still does up to ~4.8k% with DoL (I think, though my tests are old so they could be wrong). Even if you don't go for any of the afterimage hits it still hits for ~2.3k%. By comparison Twirl Trance EX is 6k% with DoL on a much longer CD. It's slow, but so are a lot of Valkyrie skills. Even ignoring the damage it deals, when I was still a Valk I was using it to proc CM1 for that delicious 30% damage boost while I used Piercing Spikes.

Spear of Light's point-blank +100% bonus isn't from the EX. You can do 200% damage with the nonEX. The EX just adds another 30% of board damage, bumping it to 230%.

Hi lamian c: Yea after testing, I need to change some stuff in skill explanations, since some skills changed mechanically after revamp like spear of light. It used to give +100% bonus damage at point-blank before it became a detonator. This is why my guide is not finished, I wana be 100% certain on things. The reason why I say lingering swing is weak is because of how long it takes to cast and how clunky it is. If you see my gameplay, it doesn't really fit well in rotations to begin with. Since valkyrie is much better at close range, lingering is... awkward to use. Sp investments are much better in other skills that are more reliable and comfy and less clunky

Also, afterimages last very little time now and since I can not include lingering swing with twirl+exi anymore its even more not worth the sp, at least imo.
