Salut tous le monde! Elite Rider here. So today i felt like i could share my melee only build i use on Valkyr, a very good one and believe me, you'll have a lot of fun with it just like i do!
So before i show the build, you're probably asking yourself some questions, which i'll answer now.
Is it a constant Hysteria build?: No.
Will i need a shield mod?: Why have a shield when you an amount of armor that is high to the point you'll say HEHEHEHE! NOTHING CAN HURT ME!
Do i need a Rush mod?: As fast as Valkyr already move, it's not necessary.
Do i need Stamina mods?: it's a melee build, so you need to be a tireless tank.
Does it let me use all of Valkyr's powers?: Yep
What type of melee weapons are good with this build?: Everything that strike fast like dual swords, dual daggers, hand and feet sparring, claws, polearms, swords, katanas, glaives, daggers, staves, scythes and tonfas.
Will i need Life Strike on my melee weapons?: It'll help you survive, trust me
Should i rank up the mod?: Believe me, you do not want to rank up Life Strike, i keep mine unranked and it's very good as it is.
What if i encounter magnetic doors or cameras? I can't hit them without a gun: You can use Paralysis, go directly in front of the door and use the power to shut the magnetic field down. As for the cameras, you can use Rip Line, but you can take a secondary with you incase you'd encounter too many of them, i bring my Brakk sometimes.
Can i use heavy melee weapons with this build?: Avoid using heavy melee weapons.
Can we PS4 and Xbox one players use this build?: Of course, now that i migrated i use it on PS4 too.
Alright so i think that'll do for now, anymore questions well be added above, now here's the build
Yeah, i'm still ranking up Vitality and Steel Fiber but i can actually take on enemies at level 30 and above, even mini bosses.
Ok, now i'll explain why i use these mods by answering more question that will probably be asked.
What is Rage? Why should i use it?: This mod can be a life saver, when you take health damage, you gain energy, If you're being swarmed by infested, or an unavoidable storm of bullets while you're out of energy to use any powers, all the damage you'll take will instantly refill your energy, giving you a chance to use Hysteria and kill everything.
No power duration or strenght mod?: Hysteria last for 30 second and Warcry for 15 seconds at rank 3 which is about enough to kill lots of enemies even without power strenght mods.
Can i sacrifice a power to put a power duration or strenght mod?: Of course, the build was actually like that at first, remove Paralysis, move Marathon to its slot and put Continuity or Intensify.
Why no shield mods?: Valkyr's shield amount is 50 unranked and 150 at rank 30, which count as the absolute lowest, instead of increasing her shield, put Steel Fiber to increase her already very high armor which is 600 in default.
What's Steel Charge for?: This aura mod increase melee damage for you and your team.
Why do i need Quick Rest and Marathon?: these two mods are needed to make a good melee build, Quick Rest make your stamina recharge faster while Marathon increases it, making you nearly tireless.
I think i explained it all.
I hope you fellow Valkyrs out there try my build and you'll like it. Now let's kill stuff!
