Valkyrie - Banshee Build

Introduction: Valkyrie has astonishing cards to deal with many minions OR to play shield-maiden-style and defending the villain. This build seeks a way to grab the best of both play-Styles and combine it. I think the build works best, if you play together with a justice character, as you have to change to AE from time to time. But if you pop back to hero, you will devastate the enemy lines like a hurricane.

Preparation: It ist most important to get the Valkyrie-Upgrades out soon (Aragorn, Dragonfang and Valkyrie's Spear). Play Combat Training to improve your attack further. Also get out Hall of Heroes, and start killing some minions to get at least 3 counters here. Play then Flight of the Valkyrior, change to AE.

Bloodbath: Now you are in AE with a hand of 6 cards. Use recover only, if you have Quick Strike at hand. Use Hall of Heroes to go to 9 cards. Change to hero form. Use Chooser of the Slain to collect minions, and drawing even further cards. If possible, use The Bifrost to call for Angela (no cost, +1 Minion). Perhaps use Looking for Trouble to collect further minions and thwarting. Use "Bring It!", if on your hand to even extend your hand further. Play Death-Glow to the first minion. Use your basic attack or Quick Strike to kill that minion. If there is a minion with more than 4 (5) health, let Angela attack first. Use Valhalla and Flight of the Valkyrior, and Chase Them Down if threat is a problem. After killing the minion with Death-Glow attached, you will activate your hero. Attach Death-Glow to the next minion, rinse and repeat, until no minions are left, or you have only one card on your hand. Play Death-Glow on the Villain. If you have Shieldmaiden on your hand before turning to hero, spare that card. Last step: choose either to attack the villain or use Smash the Problem to thwart.

Shield maiden: Under ideal circumstances now there is no minion left, and the villain has Death-Glow attached. Perhaps you have one or two copies of Shieldmaiden on your hand, and thus can defend for yourself and perhaps someone else. You can also use The Best Defense… now. Once you get Flight of the Valkyrior on your hand, play it out and change to AE, repeat the bloodbath-step.

Last Thoughts: You should consider to use every Godlike Stamina you get your hands on, and remember, that card can also dump a stun, which can be very nasty in this build. This build is best for multiplayer, as threat can get a problem, when playing alone.
