Valkyr Talons

[TheInternetGuy]

I've played a little bit of Valkyr on my girlfriend's account when we decided to switch for a play session and between her and Excal, Valkyr is very good for melee combat especially for me who has nearly no melee experience since I play very squishy frames like Nova and Mag at the time. Hysteria is definitely a very powerful ability but with its killing ability, it's pretty slow because of Valkyr's exhaulted weapon.

It's no doubt fun to plow through hordes of enemies with this but with its reach, it takes a while.

I don't think Valkyr needs to be able to use her melee weapon on her loadout instead of her exhaulted weapon because that would be too OP. What I think could make this range problem less of an issue if it were like Excal's exhaulted blade. I'm not talking about smashing e and let your brain go to sleep because that won't be any fun instead, it requires charge attacks and hit a certain combo in its stance to make waves of cutting energy be sent out like Excal's sword. It would give the player an option to do a longer and wider range for their attacks.

This wave will have about only 50% of the damage the talons can do but covers 5 meters and 180 degrees letting you deal with a horde.

What do you guys think? Too easy?

There's an augment called Hysterical Assault that allows Valkyr to leap to enemies by meleeing while aiming in Hysteria, for the most direct solution to your problem. Other than that, Valkyr also has Rip Line to move her long distances quickly (or bring the enemy to her). If you want, it's also easy to pull out a gun and quickly shoot long-ranged enemies, if you're in a situation where you don't need your invincibility for a second or two.

Really though, I feel like it's not that hard to just dash over to enemies and hit them in Hysteria. The key thing about Hysteria is that Valkyr is invincible while it's active, it's not like you have to kill enemies at range before they kill you. And enemies certainly aren't fast enough to escape a Warframe bullet jumping/sliding/air meleeing/sprinting towards them.

Good point. She is pretty mobile. I do have an issue with her damage being just on one target at a time but then again, amprex or ignis.
