I build codex lvl 5 and spellshards on all my heroes
And breaking 1850 with this build is not a problem
It's true, for real!
E: Ok actually since valkyrie must never forest(her skills are too valuable on the battlefield), valk should never forest. So no lifesteal.
Nullstone is really situational, allthough not a bad choice. FIREBRAND is a serious must before any other item, for the AS and MS.
And then you can improvise.. Firebrand into frostwolf/geo, charged hammer, savage mace, whatever.
P.S Shrunken is kinda situational, depending on the level of enemy skill and the amount of AOE annoyances(so yeah, when enemies can actually pick good heroes, it's a must).
The thing about valkyrie is you need to be in a good spot to keep the autoattack up. If you can't do that, then no matter what items you got, you're useless. Also, if you can't gank in midgame, don't play valk. You'll just stay behind with farm and be useless for 30 minutes.
