Where Valkyrie helps
Worked out from the kit: each area lists what helps there (from our mode guides), and these are the matches in this champion's skills. Not a hand-made rating - gear, speed and the team matter more.
Low priority - books mostly add damage. 11 skill books to max every skill; each book upgrades a random skill.

This Champion's Turn Meter will be increased by 10% each time an enemy Champion places a buff. Enemy Champions will have their Turn Meters decreased by 10% for each buff they receive.
Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier
(for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see
how damage works.
Suggested build
A starting point worked out from Valkyrie's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.

Blessings
Polymorph- A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
Ward of the Fallen- Damage reduction that grows as the fight turns bad - good on a champion that must survive to keep the team's buffs and heals flowing.
Intimidating Presence- A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.
Volcardiac Heart- Puts a protective buff on the whole team as the fight opens, which helps most when the first rounds are the dangerous ones.
Hand of Uncreation- Makes enemy debuffs, buff removal, turn-meter steals and cooldown increases land less often on the wearer - protects the champion that holds the team together.
Diadem of Undeath- Raises the wearer's DEF for each ally it has under its own [Ally Protection], which rewards a champion that shields others.
