Valkyrie
The Valkyrie is a melee unit from the Viking faction. They are equipped with Valkyrie Swords. |
Characteristics
The Valkyrie is a flying unit duel-wielding swords. Upon nearing an enemy unit, they will swoop down and attack swiftly. Their flying ability puts them in an advantage of the high ground, and can wreak havoc on formations trying to kill them. While fast and agile when engaged, they fly very slowly when unengaged, and can be shot down easily.
Appearance
The Valkyrie is a Wobbler with Viking armor and a large pair of wings on the back. It carries two Swords and hovers above the ground.

Usage
The Valkyrie works best in hit-and-run attacks or to pick off isolated Units, such as ranged and artillery Units, as both will have a hard time hitting the Valkyrie at any range except up close. The Valkyrie doesn't have as much health, though, so it should not go up against melee specialists like the Chieftain or Jarl unless they can overwhelm them.
The Valkyrie is a great counter to rooftop attacks in Ancient 1, since they are able to avoid the narrow streets and attack enemy Units directly. They can also be used to sweep any enemies that get stuck on the mountains of Tribal 2, or stuck on rocks or trees in Tribal Sandbox.
Trivia
- The Valkyrie is actually inaccurate to it's mythological counterpart because it doesn't ride a flying horse like the myths, but instead it itself has wings. Moreover, in the myths, Valkyriesw were parts of a host of female figures who decided the fates of those in battle, even the Vikings themselves, including sparing others, unlike the TABS Valkyrie, whose gender is Wobbler and helps to kill enemy Units, rather than be neutral in the matter.
- It is one of few units of the game that can fly, the others are Super Peasant, Scarecrow, Cupid, Chronomancer, and Ballooner.
- The early version of the Valkyrie used a spear.
- It is one of the only Units in the game with wings, the others being Cupid and the Scarecrow.
- The Valkyrie can take out a Da Vinci Tank 1v1 due to them being able to fly high enough to stay out of the cannons' range. It can also defeat more than one Da Vinci Tank if it does not fly too low, though this can take some time.
- The wings fall off when they die.
- The Valkyrie can solo 1v1 an Ice Giant if positioned correctly.
- Even through the Valkyrie can fly, if it falls off the map, it will fall like any other unit, even if it falls slowly.
- A single well placed Headbutter can kill a Valkyrie surprisingly quickly due to the likeliness of the head colliding with the Valk.
- The Valkyrie's Wings also gives the Valkyrie's swoop-in ability.
