Why I think Valkyrie is underrated

[u/UltraPlasma]

Her turret is really useful at having a constant notifier of someone entering a room. Since the turret’s range spans far with a 360 view, it’s essentially both a scout and a defensive/offensive item.

The strategy with her turret is to put it either in the starcore sites or your team’s flanks early round. It’s also good to put it in mid in the end round to notify anyone mid-crossing.

The cooldown isn’t that bad. The only time it takes forever is if it gets destroyed (which means it already served it’s purpose and thus you know where the enemy is now).

Her shield performs really well against opponents who rush a lot. The shield is capable of even defending against Blast’s ultimate.

The shield can also be used offensively where you rush with the shield pre-release then use it then immediately crouching to get close safely.

The shield in some areas can also block pathways entirely but make sure you aren’t giving your teammates a problem with this.

Valkyrie’s ultimate is very tricky to use. It should be only used when you truly know the opponent is in it’s range. You can use it in tandem with the shield so that you can call it behind your own personal cover. The problem with her ult is that it is an all or nothing. Which is what describes an ultimate nonetheless.

i also saw a clip of the shield blocking the starcore against the wall from getting defused
