Valkyrie - Hero Guide by SyyRaaaN


The ancient sagas of the heathen north have long told to the tale of the battle-women known as Valkyries. For centuries, their ranks have thinned as the old ways have died out and civilization stretched its smothering hand over the frozen wilds. But some Valkyries still remain, cold and swift as the north wind, wielding their lances with expertise to rival the most veteran Legion warriors.
SKILLS
CALL OF THE VALKYRIE
Valkyrie calls forth several Battle Maidens to damage nearby enemies.
JAVELIN OF LIGHT
Valkyrie hurls a Javelin of Light toward a target location. The first enemy hit will be damaged and stunned. Stun duration depends on the distance the Javelin has traveled.
COURAGEOUS LEAP
Valkyrie leaps forward, charging to battle. Her courage inspires nearby allies when she lands, granting increased movement and attack speed. 
VALKYRIES PRISM
Valkyrie bends light itself, shrouding all allied heroes on the map in stealth.
