Top Ten of 2009: #8

Alongside the Asgardian Warrior is his female counterpart, the generic Valkyrie.

Too bad the HC figure doesn't have THIS figure.

Valkyrie
boot symbol
38 points
Team: none
Keywords: Asgardian, Warrior
Range: 4 x 1
DIAL: http://wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/gallery/
STRENGTHS: Excellent AV all down the dial. The potential (through her “Today Is Not That Day” special power)  to be a taxi for other Asgardians and a superb medic for anyone. Toughness to make her diffcult to one-hit KO and her late dial Running Shot turns her into a legitimate ranged threat despite her low 4 range.
WEAKNESSES: Very short dial for the cost. She’s a bit less useful if not played with a character activating her minion-type SP.
CARDS TO CONSIDER: If she’s a minion, INVIGORATE can be very effective on her.
IN SUM: So many strengths in an under-40-point package make Valkyrie the #8 piece of the set. (It feels like I wrote most of this already.) Range gets her a spot higher than the similar Asgardian Warrior.
#7 gets us out of generic-Norse-land and back in the main dimension (if not on Earth).
