Note: Valkyries have been associated with horses. They could also be mounted units, with different stats. It is said that they ride through air and sea.
23/23 HP
Attack Power 12
Range 1
Armor 2
Pierce armor 3
Speed 3
Sight 4
Action/Turn 1/1
Spell Resistance: 75%
Size: 1x1
Builders: Town Centers
Possible spells: transform to swan, summon raven (scout bird), some kind of kill effect (they chose who lives and dies in battle).

I might try my hands on this.

Here is a sprite.

This is a start, is it good?

Veiwpoint is skewed, especially the shield and limbs of the Valkyrie. I would suggest making the shield more oval in shape. Team colors aren't too visible. Also, decrease size of raven, it doesn't scale too well. The Valkyrie wings are very good tho.

It shall be done, once at least I could convince someone to do this for me or else I have to continue in onward by myself.

Is that all the problems? The Shield needs to be more oval and also which limb?

I edited. I don't think the limbs are veiwpoint per se, just that the Valkyrie appears to have broad shoulders and hips. That is common with AoS sprites, so I don't think it really matters.

I looked at some more images. (Not recommended... They don't always have shirts) The wings can be replaced by a cloak, the shields are triangular, and the wings on the helmet have a different shape than what I drew.

I redrew my sprite, after looking more at other AoS sprites. It needed bolder lines, (did I add too much?) I went too minimalist. Also, I tried to match the pink.

Don't let this unit to be forgotten !

Needs stat changes and skills.
Up to discussion.

I always viewed valks to have good Hp and atk power.
Mostly the tanky supportive ones

Ideas

To be honest, I can think of a ton of weapons for the Valkryie...

Nordic weapons
•Broadsword
•Battleaxe
•Sverdestave
•Short Bow
etc,

But honestly, for her purpose, I see the Valkryie with a javalin.

And even lances,
but need to decide it for bonuses and/or SKILLS
(vote on discord)

Again, they are just suggestions

So, what is the verdict for Val?

Lancia, or special sword - for booth uses

Soo, is there gonna be 2 types of Valkryies?

That would be cool.

But, what are your thoughts on this?

Only one.
Stg like these.

So this will one have offence spells and combat - bonus to cav. too

Any idea for skills?

Define "skills"

Like
1. Abilities
2. Aura
3. All bonuses
4. Spells
5. Official stats

Interesting Valk choice

Weapon-sword-lance.

For stats I had in mind those.


For skills I meant.
Eg self strengthen.
Lightning arrow! - one target ranged offence spells. /Eternal Anguish/Divine strike - 5 Target area spell. - 1 target and 4 adjected ones.
Self Heal.
(Summon Raven?)
Stun strike, Armor up.
Or weapon break - (-3 atk last 2 turns)

It this is a holy unit then put in the church, if it is arcane unit put in mage hut.

Maybe just choose 4 or those spells if she is going to be a melee fighter, if she is spell caster primary then armour would have to be lowered.

If melee then give 2/2 armour unless she has a shield, then 2/3 armour would be needed.

Maybe, she sounds more melee like, give cost 6, give exorcism or smite (or maybe both since smite is aoe melee), seems like she could use heal, and maybe disenchanted (honestly disenchant is actually quit useful considering how you can put out fires and get rid of a target who has too much buffs, plus with coming of elementals.

Maybe lower health to 44 cause that seems a little powerful for a spell user who isn't unique.

Might use spear too, so we have a spell caster lancer.

I rather like this valkyrie's look, btw Valkries seem to be support units so we might make them somewhat like templars, they have a lance, exorcism or smite, heal (might make this an aura) and that would be all

Stats could be:
Cost:5
Hp:44
Atk:12
S.rng:3
Sight:4
Spd:4 flying
Arm:2
P.arm:2
Res:80%
Abilities:
Smite: rng:1, aoe:1, dmg:10, 50% bonus to undead, cool:3
Heal aura passive
Standard spear men bonuses.

A flying spearman sounds annoying to deal with since you have to use range or other flying units

But compensates because it's a spear men (women) who doesn't have bonuses to infantry. She isn't too op since she has a cool on her aoe, and she has a healing aura, not a healing spell meaning she can't heal herself. She is flying but she might be hit by ground for normal because she has to swoop down but on the other hand we have a lot of ranged units and flyers to deal with her.

She's not a dragon.

Btw, to calm any aggression toward the smite ability. It basically works like a holy version of the goblin gernade. Only it doesn't effect allies and doesn't apply a effect on enemies, just does bonus damage to undead and demons.

@Savra
Firstly is not spearman role.
(For training place I see nothing wrong with it to put in mage hut(empty) and sanctum/Castle.)
Foot units for Heal and auras will be in.
So valkiry - to be unique-can get similar skills I listed.
If decided what I shall adjust stats after.
And for that 6-7 cost and my stats are better. (Ork shielder has better armor )
Is hybrid class fighter-caster-ofence spells.
Not necessary smite - (valkirys focus on living )


For Imige has too much team colour, especially in wings
Try smoother it, looks like metal.


Shield and sword.(composit sword) so infantry bonus and small to cav.)
Head need fix (try from the previous one approach.)
And my images.

Or eventually I will do it.
