On our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list Valkyrie is A tier, 80th of the 297 characters ranked, from where 9 current tier lists put Valkyrie.
Is Valkyrie good?
Valkyrie brings Block Penetration, Block Proficiency, an Intimidate Debuff, the ability to Purify Non-Damaging Debuffs, and resistance to Nullify, a well-rounded kit that lands her at A. Her Block Penetration flow runs into trouble against opponents with strong Defensive Block Abilities of their own, and Bleed Immunity takes away a chunk of what she brings to the table.
Strengths
- Block Penetration paired with Block Proficiency
- Inflicts an Intimidate Debuff
- Purifies Non-Damaging Debuffs off herself
- Resists Nullify
Weaknesses
- Opponents with strong Defensive Block Abilities counter her Block Penetration game
- Bleed Immunity takes away part of her value
Profile
Valkyrie carries the title "Sovereign of New Asgard". Valkyrie is a female Asgardian.
Background
Former leader of the mighty Valkyrior, and recently crowned sovereign of New Asgard, Brunnhilde has long been a bastion to the Asgardian people against the evils of the Nine Realms.
Possessing superior strength (even among Asgardians) and armed with the powerful weapons, training, and tactics of the Valkyrior, she is an excellent leader, and a steadfast warrior.
Her conviction, though scarred by loss, is stronger than ever, and she is ready and willing to protect the Asgadians of the Battlerealm.
Long live the King! As the current monarch of New Asgard, Valkyrie’s fighting style is measured, thoughtful, and above all: forceful.
She encapsulates this with two core pillars: controlling her Combo Meter, and hitting into Block.
Fighting with her head as well as her significant brawn, Valkyrie can control the direction that her Combo Meter moves, and gains Buffs whenever it passes a multiple of 10.
Through skill and planning, a canny player can optimize the rate at which they gain these Buffs, and reach her maximum damage output much faster.
These Buffs are Pierce, a Buff that increases both her Block and Armor Penetration, and Bulwark, a staple that increases her own Block Proficiency.
While Valkyrie’s sheer combat prowess has far surpassed that of nearly all Asgardian warriors, these Buffs provide a link to her Cosmic roots with a Skill based twist: if they are ever Nullified, they transform into Passives with double the original potency!
Once Valkyrie is stocked up on Buffs, she uses her Heavy Attack to Intimidate the Opponent into Blocking, and then follows up with a Special 2 to initiate an all out assault on their feeble defenses.
During this window, every hit into the Opponent’s Block inflicts hugely inflated damage as well as some massive instant Bleeds!

Hitting the Opponent’s Block with a Combo Ender or the final hit of a Special Attack activates one of the charges, allowing Valkyrie to passively Evade one attack within the next 1 second(s), after which the charge expires.

Valkyrie gains another of her personal Combo Shields and 3 dormant Evade charges.
