Apex Legends Season 9: Valkyrie Breakdown Abilities And Tips

Deadeye’s Tempo is another new hop-up in Apex Legends , and not an attack from One Piece ’s Nami . Deadeye’s Tempo literally speeds up the tempo, or fire rate, of your weapon allowing you to lick off fully charged shots much more quickly than by defa


If you stay close together, able to spring into action at a moment’s notice, you’ll be much safer as a group. The likes of Bangalore and Gibraltar can quickly make cover when bullets unexpectedly come flying by, and of course Lifeline is borderline essential to heal - just remember that her revive drone no longer deploys a shield, so you need to use it behind co


As mentioned, you cannot fire while ascending using the VTOL Jets , and you will ascend fairly slowly - this is nothing like Horizon’s speedy gravity lift from previous seasons. This does mean that Valkyrie is a fairly obvious target, and even when she starts descending you can get some good hits in. If you’re a good shot with a sniper, Valkyrie can be taken down with ease, and that’s what you need to be aware of as a Valkyrie player. Staying in the air for too long can be a really bad decision. Be aware of the limits of your jet, and also aware of how far you need to fall before you can get behind cover and heal again. The jets are also fairly loud, so nearby players should instantly have a good idea of where a Valkyrie player


The Hemlok is often effective at poking an opponent and picking them off from relatively longer range. After being hobbled or flustered at a distance, players can swoop in and seal the deal by going in guns blazing with the R99. The two weapons are quite distinct from one another — which really makes this pairing w


Once you have a weapon purchased, it will come without attachments, meaning it’s not actually very good. You can spend extra materials to get a suite of attachments, with extra spending meaning better grade attachme


Twitter user @ApeCompetitive accurately sums up what many Lifeline players go through in every game. In the heat of battle, occasionally some gamers forget about teamwork and go all out to take all the loot they can find. This happens more noticeably when a care package is called in by players using Lifeline. There are three slots in the package which means that in trios, there would ideally be an item for each team mem


Just because Loba's Black Market Boutique doesn't do any damage doesn't mean it's any less deadly. True to her theme, the Black Market lets Loba and her allies steal nearby items without having to get near t


The Havoc is one of those few weapons that can truly feels overpowered , which is why the Turbocharger is long gone. The instability of the Havoc’s first few rounds are the only thing balancing it out. It simply shreds, even at mid-range, in the right hands. And the size of its output keeps it more accurate than the L-Star’s blinding fireba


Team compositions will be a big part of the Arenas game mode. You need to cooperate with your team and assign one another ideal roles. Lifeline and Gibraltar can act as decent healers and provide impromptu cover, while Valkyrie and Octane can provide movement options to the team, which might become necessary in select situati


The Shatter Caps hop-up Changes is made for close-range combat. It has a faster fire rate than the default Bocek Bow, but it has extremely limited range. This hop-up essentially transforms the Bocek Bow into a shotgun, and if you’re about to push a team that’s inside a building, this is the perfect way to appro


As mentioned earlier, the Deadeye’s Tempo seriously speeds up the fire rate of the Bocek Bow, and you should use this. The Bocek Bow isn’t good at close range unless using the Shatter Caps, and even then most shotguns are more capable - it’s only there to be used when you have no other weapon capable of a close-range engagement, really, since it’s only barely better than a Mozambique . Deadeye’s Tempo, however, will allow you to shatter even the most robust of shields with only a couple of charged shots, always giving you the opportunity to slide in and begin using a faster-firing weapon, like the R-99 , to finish the


The Bocek Bow is, usually, a very competent mid-range weapons, but with the Shatter Caps it restricts it to close-range only. If you had to choose only one hop-up, I’d say that this is the less useful of the two, but of course the Bocek Bow can be equipped with two hop-ups at o


As the name implies, the strikes will rain down that area for six seconds, with each player suffering 40 damage per hit alongside a minor stun. Since Defensive Bombardment can still damage Gibraltar (not his allies), a simple Dome will do a good job protecting him from incoming damage. And should enemies try to get in the Dome for added protection - well, that's almost a free kill for Gibraltar's sq


Now that you know what Valkyrie’s abilities are, you probably have a good idea of how to play her in Apex Legends - but there are plenty of minor things you have to keep in mind in order to perform well in battle with this powerful Leg
