Is Valkyrie good in Clash Royale?
Valkyrie is a 4-elixir beast that can easily sweep swarm troops away from the arena. She swings around 360 degrees with every attack, damaging all troops that are within her proximity, regardless of the direction. A devastating attack, solid defense, and high health – these attributes make Valkyrie one of the most sought-after troops in all of Clash Royale.
Similar to the Knight, Valkyrie can also be slotted into various decks. In most cases, she can also replace the semi-tanks such as the Knight, Mini P.E.K.K.A, etc. as she balances the deck with her low elixir cost. Apart from her major drawback of being vulnerable to air troops, the Valkyrie is an all-around package of offense, defense, and support. She can even be seen in some of the Best Decks Under 3.0 Elixir that the game has to offer.

How to Counter Valkyrie in Clash Royale
Tackling the Valkyrie can get challenging, given her strength in all fields. However, even the best troops have defects, and such is the case for the Valkyrie. As such. there are a few techniques that can be followed to prevent the Valkyrie from harming the towers. These include:
- Vulnerable against ranged troops – The Valkyrie can only boast her strength on troops that are in close contact with her. This makes her an easy target for ranged units such as the Firecracker, Magic Archer, etc. Utilize at least one ranged troop so as to help you take down the Valkyrie before she starts swinging her axe on the tower.
- Air Troops – Valkyrie only focuses on ground units, thus leaving her off guard against air troops. Use troops such as the Mega Minion, Bats, or Minions to pick a small positive elixir trade off the Valkyrie.
- Heavily-damaging cards – Tanks like the P.E.K.K.A and cards like the Inferno Dragon and Inferno Tower can swiftly turn the Valkyrie to ashes. Evidently, the Valkyrie is never deployed alone and is usually used as support in an attack involving other units. Distracting the Valkyrie away from the tower reduces the damage she deals by a large margin.
Clash Royale Valkyrie Tips
Valkyrie is strong, but placing her rightly can lead to stronger results. Here are some tips to help you to get the most out of the Valkyrie:
- Placement (for multiple troops) – Proper placement is very essential for Valkyrie. She can be extremely impactful when she is placed in the right spot. The right spot refers to placing her in the middle of two or more troops. This way, she swings her axe and damages all the troops around her, therefore taking down two or more troops by herself without the need for support.
- Placement (for strong single-target troops) – While facing strong single-target troops such as the P.E.K.K.A, Prince, etc. it is advised to place the Valkyrie in the middle, between your crown towers. This forces the enemy troop to charge toward the centered Valkyrie. When the enemy troop reaches the center, they will be targeted by both the crown towers, instead of one.
- Tanking – In many matches, players are seen using Skeleton Army, Goblin Gang, and other such swarm troops to tackle the Hog Rider, Ram Rider, and other tower-targeting troops. To counter the defense, place the Valkyrie in front of the tower-targeting troop you use. The Valkyrie will remove all the swarm troops from the arena, making the troop’s road toward the tower an easy one.
