When a warrior has proven her devotion to Athulua through her brave deeds and exceptional skill in battle, the Goddess shows her favor by granting a spiritual emissary to aid the Amazon. These emissaries of Athulua are called Valkyrie, and they are the spirits of the greatest heroes from the Amazon people. The power to summon a Valkyrie is the greatest honor that an Amazon warrior can receive. It is believed this gift is a sign that your place beside the Goddess is assured when you pass from this world-perhaps even as a

1. Is this guide useful?
Hardly

2. Is anyone actually going to use this guide?
Hardly

3. Why would you even do this?
Because there's not a single guide with all the info on one place.

4. Do I take credit for math and all the information in this guide?
Absolutely not. Most of things from this guide can be found on web, but it's never on the same place as I already mentioned.










Since patch 1.10 the Valkyrie can use Critical Strike, Dodge, Avoid, and Evade. In fact she gains those skills from your Amazon, meaning all the points you spend in those skills will work for the Valkyrie too.







Valkyrie spawns with the following equipment dependent on level:


Slvl 1 : Full plate mail and Spear (mod1 = 6)
Slvl 2 : adds Heavy gloves (mod1 = 4)
Slvl 4 : adds Heavy Boots (mod1 = 4)
Slvl 5 : adds Heavy Belt (mod1 = 4)
Slvl 7 : upgrades Full Plate Mail to Chaos Armor (mod1 = 6)
Slvl 8 : upgrades Spear to Lance (mod1 = 6)
Slvl 10: upgrades Heavy Gloves to War Gauntlets (mod1 = 4)
Slvl 11: upgrades Heavy Boots to War Boots (mod1 = 4)
Slvl 12: upgrades Heavy Belt to War Belt (mod1 = 4)
Slvl 13: adds Amulet (mod1 = 4)
Slvl 14: adds Circlet (mod1 = 4)
Slvl 16: replaces Chaos Armor with Sacred Armor (mod1 = 6)
Slvl 17: replaces Lance with War Pike (mod1 = 6)
Slvl 19: upgrades War Gauntlets to Crusader Gauntlets (mod1 = 6)
Slvl 21: upgrades War Boots to Mirrored Boots (mod1 = 6)
Slvl 23: upgrades War Belt to Colussus Girdle (mod1 = 6)
Slvl 25: changes mod1 for amulet from 4 to 6
Slvl 27: upgrades Circlet to Tiara (mod1 = 6)

(Mod1 = 4) Is a Magic item
(Mod1 = 6) is a Rare item.

The Valkyrie gains different pieces of Rare and Magic equipment based on her skill level. The items come with random bonuses, so every time you cast the Valkyrie the bonuses on her items will be randomly chosen. These exact item stats cannot be seen except with a third party program which I won't mention in here.

Important breakpoints for the damage output on Valkyrie are slvl-8 (when she gains her Lance) and slvl-17 (upgrade the Lance to a War Pike).
Important breakpoints for the tankiness on Valkyrie are slvl-7 (when she gains her Chaos Armor) and slvl-16 (upgrade the Chaos Armor to a Sacred Armor).


IAS cannot be precisely calculated as it's unknown which exact stats are spawned on Weapon + Gloves.
6 frame AI Delay in all difficulty levels lengthens the interval between consecutive attacks.
Attack rate can be increased by Fanaticism, and Increased Attack Speed suffixes on her weapon and gloves (up to 60 IAS combined).













Stats by Level Progression:

Life and resistance on second image do not include Decoy synergy bonuses, but the additional calculation is explained below images.




Hidden Stats
Resistances
The Valkyries' resistances are equal to their level * 2, to a max of 85. So a level 10 Valkyrie will have +20 Resist All. Valkyries also get a hidden synergy bonus from Decoy, where every physical point in Decoy will add +2 Resist All. The whole formula comes out as = (Valkyrie level + Base Decoy Level ) * 2

Magic Level
The equipment that a Valkyrie is spawned with is based on her Magic Level, i.e. the ilvl that her equipment is spawned with, therefore denoting which mods can be spawned. The Magic Level of any Valkyrie is equal to a base of 25 at level 1, and increases by 3 for each level.
e.g. 5 points in Valkyrie will spawn her with a Level 40 weapon.
Dexterity
Valkyries recieve a bonus of Dexterity of +12 per level. A level 12 Valkyrie will have 144 dexterity points. Valks gain bonuses of attack rating and defense much like any character, but this is not reflected in their skill description.

Valkyrie Health
Valkyrie Health = 440 * (1 + 0.2 * (Valkyrie level + Decoy Level - 1))

Synergy Skills
The Valkyrie gains Synergy bonuses equal to the amount of base skill points you have placed in Critical Strike, Dodge, Avoid, and Evade. For example, if you have placed 1 point into Avoid, the Valkyrie will have a 24% chance to dodge a missile.

The Valkyrie can appear in different colors, depending on what bonuses were spawned on her armor and weapon.

Armor:

From top to bottom as shown on image below:

Light-Gold Armor
normal, no enhanced mods other than + light radius.

Dark Gold Armor
24% Faster Hit Recovery
Pale Gold Armor
66-80% Enhanced Defense

Orange Armor
Attacker Takes Damage of 4-6

White Armor
+x defense based upon the slvl of your valk, and the clvl of your character.

Blue Armor
chance to cast Frost Nova/Nova on being struck.

Dark Red Armor
Poison length reduced by 75%.

Red Armor
Huge +life bonus, and almost a double regen rate. This is the best Valkyrie that can spawn in terms of tankiness.







Weapon:

From top to bottom as shown on image below:


Blue
Chance to deal cold damage. Potential use of a cold skill on striking.

Teal
Chance to deal lightning damage. Potential use of a lightning skill on striking.

Green
Chance to deal poison damage.

Black
Enhanced damage modifier. Life leech is also a possibility. This is the best Valkyrie that can spawn in terms of Damage output.

White
Large bonus to AR. Think "of the fool's."




Keep in mind that all the gear she can spawn with (Helm, Gloves, Boots, Belt, Amulet, Weapon, Armor), spawns with random item modifiers, therefore you can see your Valkyrie using Amplify Damage, as her weapon has 5% chance to cast Amplify Damage on striking.
