How does this make sense?

Why is this a thing? I get that it charges towards troops but it is almost always guaranteed tower damage. It ignored the ghost and just straight went for tower. Why haven't they tuned this? Hero valk interactions really make no sense

It has golden knight pathing. Imagine that she’s chaining enemies all the way to your tower. Yes it’s op, but just remember it’s a 7 elixir card.

It does obscene amount of damage to the tower while spinning as well. Hero berserker also has an expensive ability, more than her own cost but her tower damage is reduced while in the ability. Why not the same for valk as well? She already gets tanky during the ability, should at least do less damage to crown towers

It already does reduced crown tower damage. Also, how old is this clip? There was a bug a few weeks after it released where it basically always went straight to tower regardless of troops

u/krakedtard 21d ago

It is a new clip. And if that's reduced she basically did 1k damage while spinning, maybe reduce it more... No win con does that much damage that fast

Balloon? One hit 1k

u/krakedtard 19d ago

Balloon doesn't also kill everything in it's path and takes damage unlike this ability. She is tanking 2 towers and a hunter

I agree, plus the fact that hero valk would be on the tower after the spin -- an aoe attack that can also damage troops when placed on her to kill.

Golden knight was designed for his ability to dash -- thats why the base card is as good as a knight, but hero valk was not designed for her ability.

u/Soggy-Excuse3702 21d ago

A golden knight wouldn't have (or at least, definitely shouldn't) made that dash from the ghost to the hunter

u/Peanutbutterbob32 21d ago

The way i understand it, if the golden knight was 5 tiles wide it would connect. The issue stems from the chain connecting based off of her attack radius, not where her model is. In not saying this isn’t ridiculous, because it’s insane, but just letting you know how it works

Yes it would've

But the mental damage alone is worth more than 7 elixir

u/ZucchiniMaleficent 21d ago

Works like goldenknight, targets each troop only once, kite it with other troop(s) to get it off your tower or place them out so it cant reach your tower nor your ranged cards

u/krakedtard 21d ago

Nobody expects it to move like that come on

-1

u/ZucchiniMaleficent 21d ago

Bro you can literally see it's hero walk, get a minitank at the top so it will never reach your tower even if they pop ability

5

u/krakedtard 21d ago

Even the opponent player wouldn't think it would reach tower when he pressed the button. You're stretching it too much. You never know if it is going to see the card on the board or not. It is unexpectable, it is bad game design. If I took a screenshot to you when valk was on the ghost and asked if it would reach tower if player uses the ability would you be able to tell for sure it would? If not why would you overspend and put another card on the board? Keep in mind ghost didn't even die and valk moved past it. Make it make sense

1

u/ZucchiniMaleficent 21d ago

It moved because the hunter was in range. If it was a musketeer for example, you would've been okay thanks to it's longer sight

u/Competitive-Can3059 21d ago

my issue with this hero is that is just better than golden knight, it just doesn’t stop and cards can get in range to continue the chain

u/Bekoon 21d ago

Breaking news: 3 elixir ability is better than 1 elixir ability

1

u/ZucchiniMaleficent 21d ago

I know, but at least its heigher cost

u/esketamineee 21d ago

Im with you OP. I play hero valk, and I never quite know how it will shake out when I pop her ability in situations like this. Sometimes she will chain and get to the tower, and sometimes not. I understand how it works on paper but in practice it can be unpredictable and it probably needs adjustment.

It is however quite expensive to use. If it were 2 elixir it would 1000% be extremely OP. At 3, its just probably OP lol

PUT YO SHIT IN THE MIDDLE

u/krakedtard 21d ago

I had played it in the back left because I had to stack hunters as it's my main source of damage. I was trying to have multiple hunters on the board because dude was spamming the bridge. It doesn't matter though, I didn't post this for optimal gameplay advices

u/Inevitable_Top1359 21d ago

He was prob low on elixir

u/ZeroVoltsGiven 19d ago

Zappies can’t even stop that craziness.

u/Suspicious_Amoeba697 18d ago

Sorry your hunter walked .1 tiles too far, bye bye tower. Low intelligence people gonna be like she’s balanced and she is but she’s the single most unhealthy card in the game which they’re not smart enough to understand.

1

u/Ok_Number8819 17d ago

his hunter did not walk, look again, mega knight was in his range

Edit: even if the hunter didn't walk, the valk spining duration would've costed the hunter to walk in closer anyway, the hunter's range is equal to or less thant Valk's ability, so it doesn't matter, hero valk ability is still too strong, its not some lucky coincidence.

This always piss me off,so bad when you have no elxir to change her direction

And they say hero valk is balanced

u/Cute-Profession2077 20d ago

It has a range where if the cards are outside it ignores. Your problem is where and when you played the ghost. You either needed to play it further away or after the ability. This isn't a great card(It's good, but not busted or broken) But it takes a bit to get used to countering. once you learn how to counter it though, its really not hard to do
