Call of the Valkyrie
Image
Valkyrie calls forth several Battle Maidens to damage nearby enemies.
Level 1 : Deals 75 magic damage to targets in radius around self with
60% chance to hit targets outside the 600 radius but inside a 900 radius
Level 2 : Deals 150 magic damage to targets in radius around self with 60% chance to hit targets outside the 600 radius but inside a 900 radius
Level 3 : Deals 225 magic damage to targets in radius around self with 60% chance to hit targets outside the 600 radius but inside a 900 radius
Level 4 : Deals 300 magic damage to targets in radius around self with 60% chance to hit targets outside the 600 radius but inside a 900 radius
Mana cost 100/120/140/160
Cooldown 12 seconds
Deals an additional 37.5/75/112.5/150 magic damage to one random target in 200 radius

My thoughts: a great nuking spell for group fights as well as one on one as it has a chance to hit your enemy twice!

Javelin of Light
Image
Valkyrie hurls a Javelin of Light toward a target location.
The first enemy hit will be damaged and stunned.
Stun duration depends on the distance the Javelin has traveled.
Level 1 : Deals 90 damage to first target to pass within a 140 radius of projectile. Target is stunned based on projectile distance.
Level 2 : Deals 180 damage to first target to pass within a 140 radius of projectile. Target is stunned based on projectile distance.
Level 3 : Deals 270 damage to first target to pass within a 140 radius of projectile. Target is stunned based on projectile distance.
Level 4 : Deals 360 damage to first target to pass within a 140 radius of projectile. Target is stunned based on projectile distance.
Mana cost 100
Cooldown 25 seconds
Stun duration increases by 0.5 seconds for every 150 units the projectile has traveled. Stuns for a minimum of 0.5 seconds and a maximum of 5 seconds.

My thoughts: a great ambushing spell as well as perfect for head on fights. Early game this attack will give you the edge on your opponent combined with call of the valkyrie to damage your opponent significantly for an easy kill or to set yourself up to chase him down with the aid of your leap.

Courageous Leap
Image

Valkyrie leaps forward, charging to battle. Her courage inspires nearby allies when she lands, granting increased movement and attack speed.
Level 1 : Leaps 630 units forward. +4% Movement speed and 4% Attack speed to nearby allies.
Level 2 : Leaps 690 units forward. +8% Movement speed and 8% Attack speed to nearby allies.
Level 3 : Leaps 780 units forward. +12% Movement speed and 12% Attack speed to nearby allies.
Level 4 : Leaps 840 units forward. +16% Movement speed and16% Attack speed to nearby allies.
Mana cost 75
Cooldown 40/35/30/25 seconds

My thoughts: this is such a great spell to chase down any opponent, it makes you faster and allows you to catch up to a fleeing opponent to hit them with your javelin or your call of the valkyrie.

Valkyrie’s Prism
Image
Valkyrie bends light itself, shrouding all allied heroes on the map in stealth
Level 1 : Grants Stealth to all allies for 7 seconds. 2.5 second fade time
Level 2 : Grants Stealth to all allies for 9 seconds. 2 second fade time
Level 3 : Grants Stealth to all allies for 11 seconds. 1.5 second fade time
Mana Cost 200/250/300
Cooldown 160 seconds

My thoughts: this spell will save you or your team mates or set yourself up for an ambush. Early game i would sacrifice leveling this spell at level 6 to make room for your other 3 more important spells.

Item Build:

1. Duck boots Image and Pretender’s crown Image (2 sets)
2. Runes of blight Image and Mana potion Image
3. Marchers Image then eventually agility Steam boots Image
4. Bolstering armband Image + Might blade Image = Hack Image
5. Fleetfeet Image + Quickblades Image = Slash Image
6. Hack n Slash recipe Image
7. Dancing Blades Image
8. Steamstaff Image
9. Wingbow Recipe Image

My thoughts:

I chose Hack n slash because of the maim chance which will slow your opponent down as well as the added HP which you need. This is a great compliment to your skills as you can easily nuke your enemy, chase him down with leap , hopefully maim him, and since you are going to be much faster than he is you can keep shooting him comfortably with a chance to maim him yet again.

Wingbow is a great item overall, as the increased damage and attack speed will greatly compliment your maiming ability and your damage output as a whole. By the time you make it to Wingbow you are probably one of your teams best assets.

Some people tend to avoid Hack n Slash and go straight to Wingbow, but if you didn’t farm well enough at the start, saving up for it could take a while, leaving you with mediocre beginner items. By opting for Hack n Slash, you get the bonus of HP, adding survivability in fights as well as the chance to slow down your fleeing opponents earlier on.

Skill Build:
1. Javelin
2. Call
3. Javelin
4. Call
5. Call
6. Leap
7. Javelin
8. Call
9. Javelin
10. Leap
11. Prism
12. Leap
13. Leap
14. Stats
15. Stats
16. Prism
17 onwards = you can either continuously add to stats or finish off prism ( i usually wait until im level 25 to finish off prism)

How to make the most of this build:
You would level up the primary damage spells but try not to use them just yet until you have leap because chances are without having leap you’ll simply scare them off with the amount of damage you can do and you wouldn’t be able to chase them down. With leap you can set yourself up to stunning them with javelin to primarily do damage, follow it up with Call and shoot them a few times and as they run away you simply leap, shoot and chase them down.

Later in the game you would encounter much more group fights so the best option is to unleash a javelin in the general direction of the group fight, hopefully hitting an enemy and stunning them rendering them useless then Calling in the group and start shooting at the enemy your teammates are focused on, hopefully maiming them. As they try to flee you leap and continue shooting and hopefully your call and/or javelin is reloaded so you can use it again. If the situation gets sticky use Prism and RUN.
