Valkyrie

The Awakened Valkyrie uses an overwhelming weapon called Lancia, which specializes in attacks that pierce the front in a way that suits its characteristics. However, the range of skills was relatively narrow, and there were insufficient skills to damage the entire area based on the Valkyrie. Therefore, in order to compensate for these aspects and minimize manual manipulation, we focused on improving the attack range of awakening skills, reducing the cooldown time, and improving the movement skill. In addition, it has been improved so that hunting can be continued smoothly without using the Celestial Spear skill during PvE, and a concept that collapses the formation by adding a flow skill that can be linked immediately after ‘Enslar’s Divinity’, which is also a signature of the Valkyrie. and greatly enhanced the feeling.
Tradition Valkyrie has been changed to make specialization more useful in PvE, and the update has been made to improve hunting speed by adding an effect that attracts monsters and reducing the cooldown.
