1: Pre-Apex

The pre-apex valkyrie gameplay is rather simple and straightforward and serves as a solid foundation to build upon with its awakening. Much of the build is the same as post-apex; however, the pre-apex version of valk forces you to focus exclusively on the core of valkyrie. While this version of valkyrie is extremely limited, if you do not master these valkyrie principles you will not be proficient at the class.

Because you are limited to by what you can do, you will focus on 3 things:

1. Start every big fight with a full Ragnarok Gauge. https://youtu.be/IqgI6g8wk0M

2. Shining Crescent and Runeburst for damage. https://youtu.be/o2U8qcv7Y1Y

3. Bloodflower, Bloodflower resets, and Leaping Slash for quick Ragnarok build-up.

Ragnarok Rotation:

• Charge > Maelstrom > Shining Crescent > Shining Crescent
• Leaping Slash > Glaive Strike > Dream Slash > Dark Herald > Runeburst
• Repeat

What to do out of Ragnarok:

• Shining Crescent off cooldown
• Runeburst as often as possible
• Bloodflower off cooldown and reset as often as possible
• Leaping Slash spam
