Valkyrie/Moveset

## Moveset

### General

* **Renown: Hybrid** - Renown is balanced across activities. (non-Dominion/Breach gamemodes only)
* **Revenge Mode** - Boosts Damage and Health. All Attacks are Uninterruptible. Parry and Throws knock enemies down. Attacks are Auto-Parried on activation.
* **Dodge: Superior Block** - Dodge in the direction of an incoming Attack just before impact to Superior Block it, interrupting it. A successful Superior Block grants a Hero access to guaranteed follow-ups.

### Hero Specific

* **Superior Block Light Attacks** - Light Attacks have Superior Block property during the Startup. If the Superior Block successfully blocks an attack, the attack will become a Crushing Counterstrike (becomes unblockable and deal increased damage). Use it to counterattack.
* **Shoulder Pin** - If Valkyrie successfully blocks an incoming attack with her Superior Dodge Block, she can input a Heavy Attack to perform a Shoulder Pin which pins the target, deals damage together with inflicting bleed.
	+ **Dodge Attack after Superior Block** - Valkyrie can still perform her Dodge Attacks (Pouncing Thrust and Hunter's Strike) even when she successfully blocks an attack with her Superior Block dodge. However, they will not receive any special properties.
	+ **Stacking Bleed** - Bleed damage dealt by Valkyrie can stack.
* **Shield Tackle** - Shield Tackle can be accessed during a Front Dodge with MMB (PC), X (XB1), ■ (PS4). Letting go of the input has Valkyrie perform a Bash.
	+ **Shield Crush** - Shield Tackle can be accessed by pressing MMB (PC), X (XB1), ■ (PS4) during the start-up of a Heavy attack or after the first strike of the Zone Attack.
	+ **Full Block Stance on Shield Tackle** - Holding Shield Tackle will have Valkyrie perform a Full Block stance. Entering the Stance does not cost Stamina as Stamina regenerates as normal. Stamina regeneration pauses briefly upon blocking an attack.
	+ **Shield Tackle Cancel** - Cancel Shield Tackle with B (XB1), E (PC) or O (PS4) before the tackle. Cannot cancel during the tackle charge.
	+ **Shield Tackle Follow-ups** - Shield Tackle counts as an Opener and can be followed-up with a Chain Light to perform Shield Tackle Strike or into a Chain Heavy. Shield Tackle Strike is guaranteed and leads into Finishers.
* **Zone Attack** - Zone Attack can be cancelled with B (XB1), E (PC) or O (PS4) after the first swing.
* **Spear Sweep Surprise** - Press MMB (PC), X (XB1), ■ (PS4) instead of a Chain Finisher or after throwing an enemy to perform a Spear Sweep. If Spear Sweep successfully lands, the enemy will be knocked down.
	+ **Spear Sweep Punish** - Heavy Attack immediately after a successful Spear Sweep to perform a Spear Sweep Punish. Spear Sweep Punish is guaranteed.
* **Chain Openers** - Shield Tackle, Shoulder Pin, Hunter's Rush, Pouncing Thrust, and Hunter's Strike count as Chain Openers.
* **Enhanced Dodge Lights** - Pouncing Thrust and Hunter's Strike are not interrupted on Block, but are still interrupted on Superior Block.
* **Side Light Attack Finishers** - Successful Side Light Finishers will knock opponents away from the side the attack came from.
