Release2.2.5

Valkyrie Accipiter is Fu Hua's A-rank PSY-type Physical gauntlet user from v2.2.5. She links Six Fists stances into Combo ATKs, spends only 25 SP per Ultimate combo, heals the team, stuns enemies and boosts the team's shield breaking. She was weak even in her time (Marisa Impact); her real value was as the base of her augment core Hawk of the Fog (v3.5), which was one of the best battlesuits in the game. With no Astral Ring, she is obsolete in 9.0.

Teams

Recommended teams

Classic Physical trio

A throwback team: Valkyrie Accipiter breaks shields, lowers DEF with her QTE and heals, while Celestial Hymn impairs enemies and gives Crit DMG, Physical DMG and SP to the DPS. Old content only.

Kiana leader-skill team

With Valkyrie Accipiter as the leader, a Kiana DPS such as Knight Moonbeam gets +28% Crit Rate above 30 combo hits (S rank). A Part 1 relic for fun: both DPS and supports are outdated.

Guide

How to play

Six Fists

  • Her Ultimate button doubles as her Combo button. After the first 2 Basic ATK stances, tap it twice for Ki Shattering Fist (3 Stun Trauma on the last hit); after stances 3 to 6, tap it three times for Ki Zenith. Tapping it alone gives Ki Barrage, and holding it charges Ki Nova, a piercing blast.

Ultimate: Amber Dragon (25 SP)

  • With at least 25 SP, finish those strings by holding the button: Ki Avalanche (6 Stun Trauma and 200% ATK of bonus Physical DMG), Ki Impact (heals the whole team for 400 HP from S rank) or Ki Nova EX (from S rank, the team deals 200% more DMG to shields for 6.5s).
  • From S rank these hits deal 200% ATK of bonus Physical DMG to impaired or stunned enemies; from SS rank Ki Impact gives the team +20% Total DMG for 7s.

Support tools

  • QTE (Gray Dragon) triggers when an enemy's shield breaks: 720% ATK of Physical DMG, knock-up, Time Slow and DEF -30% for 6s.
  • After an Ultimate Evasion, tap the Combo button for a smash that lowers DEF by 30% for 4s; Ultimate Evasion also triggers a 3s Time Fracture (CD 11s from S rank).
  • From S rank she deals 40% more Physical DMG to enemies within 3m, and when she switches out, teammates' next 3 ranged attacks deal 15% more Physical DMG. From SS rank, she gains Ignore Interrupt and 20% damage reduction for 5s after switching in, and gives the same buff to the whole team when she switches out.

Leader skill (S rank): above 30 combo hits, Mei and Kiana battlesuits get +28% Crit Rate; below 30, Bronya battlesuits get +40% Crit DMG.

Strengths

  • Very cheap Ultimate (25 SP) with Stun Trauma, team healing and a big shield-break buff.
  • Several DEF reductions (QTE, post-evasion smash) and Time Fracture.
  • Unlocks the path to Hawk of the Fog, her augment core.
  • Easy to farm: Open World, Expedition, Dorm Supply, Dorm Shop and Elysian Shop (Marisa Impact).

Weaknesses

  • Obsolete in 9.0, and already weak at release (Marisa Impact).
  • Most of her useful effects need S or SS rank.
  • Her leader skill only helps Mei, Kiana and Bronya battlesuits.
  • Superseded by her own augment core, Hawk of the Fog.
