Valkyrie
Valkyries are winged warriors who fly freely on white feathered wings. Every third blow calls down holy light on the enemies around them, and their innate holy magic makes them strong healers.
Powers#
| Power | Effect | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|
| Feathered | Flies on white feathered wings (Icarus wings, no item needed). | — |
| Divine Smite | Every third melee hit deals holy damage (base 4, scaling with Holy Spell Power) to every non-allied creature within 3 blocks. Killing an undead mob triggers a smite within 5 blocks. | — |
| Holy affinity | +1 Holy Spell Power (+100%). | — |
The Valkyrie has no drawbacks in Soulrend.
Note
Soulrend turns off Intervention, Corruption, Vanquisher and Heavenly Implements, so the in-game overview’s “Weak to Undead” no longer applies.
Playstyle#
The Valkyrie fights in melee and lets Divine Smite clean up the crowd around its target, while flight makes travel and escapes easy. The +100% Holy Spell Power doubles holy healing and damage spells, so a Valkyrie can heal well even without a holy class.
