Valkyr

Jade Light is just super bugged and goes through a whole lot of things it shouldn't. There's no overguard gate applying, shield gate probably doesn't either. Valks invuln is not the only one it pierces, etc. It's just all around bs.

Not for me, it's the new frame for being lazy. Add a few arcane shards and you are immune for the whole run.

I suggest* (lol)

There are not "about 4 warframes with higher armor than her"

Only Qorvex has more base armor than her, sitting at 875.

Though he also beats base valkyr in health, shields, and energy.

And obviously her prime has more armor than base valkyr, that's how primes work.

"Both caliban and chroma are still serviceable with current content."

Mmm yes, precisely why everybody is near-exclusively blowing up every recent Devstream chat with requests to revive Caliban -- clearly they see Valkyr as the bigger problem. Yes, infallible logic.

Dude, it's Warframe: where everybody finds a reason to be pissed about EVERY frame. It's fair for not liking the place that Valkyr's in right now, she obviously isn't the best. But to go to the extreme of saying that the others are "serviceable" by comparison is not the closing statement I would have chosen to cement your good points.

A good Hysteria rework would entail removing Valkyr's Talons entirely. Exalted weapons are shitty and not fun to use compared to normal melee weapons. They can retain her preference for claws by giving her a bonus when using claw weapons like Venka

Two of the most braindead takes I've ever read in my LIFE. People don't care to cry about Valkyr because nobody plays her, in contrast to chroma and caliban who both have a lot of fanboys by comparison(and still have their own niches they can fill, chroma still being meta for profit taker and with kits that at least synergize). She has been forgotten by everyone. Let's not forget the fact that Valkyr predates both chroma and caliban by a couple of years and has received ZERO reworks since then. And her talons are literally the most defining trait valkyr has, you can't just rip them away from her and force people to use poopy dogshit weapons like the fucking venka. Lead poisoned ass takes.

Earnest complaints about Chroma two months after his WitW augment release and hotfix should provide significant leads in the investigation of illegal ongoing lobotomy practices.

Uhhhhh... you know when you're fully invulnerable... you don't take any status effects including knockdowns?

Ancient disruptors still drain through hysteria.

It's there. You have to select Valkyr in the market console. In the next window you have the option to purchase just the blueprint for 35,000 credits.

Its because the weapon is actually kinda shit when compared to actual melee weapons

Also the age of the stance isn't doing any favors.

She may be boring but she is nowhere close to being one of the worst Warframes.

When built correctly she can become one of the fastest moving Warframes without downgrading her overall build, Her Talons can become one of the most damaging melee weapons in the game and can one-shot most steel path enemies, And obviously the immortality is a nice bonus.

Her main weakness is loss of energy, nullifiers and falling out of bounds(Basically the same weakness for the majority of Warframes)

She can destroy archons almost as fast as the meta gun builds if modded right while requiring less of an in mission setup.

Pair her with a good pet to inflict multiple status effects (such as the Diriga, Panzer Vulpaphyla, hound etc) Or a secondary primer and your basically golden.

So dont worry about people saying she's one of the worst, they probably just haven't built her properly yet or aren't a fan of spamming the same thing repeatedly (Which tbh most Warframes do). There will always be a warframe that can outshine others in one way or another, even if she is not the best at a specific thing, she is in no way one of the worst.

Her Stance could do with a damage+forward momentum upgrade to the variant combos with maybe the addition of forced procs which would make her less boring.

But ultimately in the end if you like playing as her then keep playing.

She just needs helmint to easily lvlcap, and if you go max with critdamage shards then she will out damage pretty much everything

Wanting to use a good melee weapon is a good reason to exit hysteria

Why play Valkyr at all then? You could just infuse Warcry on to another frame. And Hysteria / Valkyr's Talons is a fantastic melee weapon.

Yea, thats the issue Valkyr has right now. Outside of the slide attack and the finisher, Hysteria is just heavily outclassed by a large amount of melee weapons, which is why I want the Hysteria stance and maybe the weapon's stats to be buffed by a significant bit.

Valkyr kinda used to be the fast, tanky melee attacker. Now there are way better options for that, in addition to Valkyr not even being that tanky anymore.

So all that Valkyr has left is her 4, which makes her invulnerable at the cost of forcing you into a melee weapon that has high base damage, but an absolutely awful stance, an unusable 10% status chance and a rather poor status spread and the inability to use acolyte mods.

Its honestly probably best used as quick invincibility toggle when just using guns instead.

Alot of the problems I feel with her talons (among the other frames that have exalted melees) is the fact that they are restricted (no acolyte/gladiator bonus mods) and standard melees outperform them without needing gimicky setups or helminths. I feel that for a weapon specifically tied to a frame and only that frame, tied to their fourth ability (which is usually the signature ability) they SHOULD be stronger than standard melee weapons. And before anyone brings out the "for balancing purposes" argument, Garuda is a perfect example of how they should be. Her talons are only usable by her, they are unrestricted in mod usage, and they can compete if not exceed most other melee weapons, and that is not even factoring in her passive which doubles her damage after mods applied. So for Valkyr specifically, since she has a really high base crit and low status, they are effectively already self balancing if you weren't restricted from using blood rush. They should be naturally high red critting machines at this stage of the game imo. That goes for the other frames with exalted melees too.

Hey! Just got her and looking to have as much fun as you, mind if i could grab your build?

Technically you can be in 4. just not with invul/talons out. pull out gun and rage can work, pull out talons and no

Its qorvex jackass

Corvecks

Flavor

Atlas

Trinity.

Na wisp wins the cake game

^ bro they specifically said tank frame read the fucking post before commenting.

That's one option, but there are plenty others. Infinite Hysteria isn't that hard to achieve.

Just use Nourish and 2 orb effectiveness amber shards you get the damage boos from Viral and a single orb gives her max energy.

This one you get to go mindless. btw synth fiber i think is needed to pick up health orbs

Synth Fiber is not needed to pick up health orbs at max health. It used to be, but Equilibrium was changed to do that by itself.
