Release3.8

Valkyrie Gloria is Durandal's A-rank QUA-type Fire battlesuit from v3.8 and the game's first lance user. She sprints into enemies with Charged ATKs, refills her Resolve with weapon Throws, and her Ultimate hurls a giant lance that creates Aura Ignis for Decisive Blows. She was a mediocre Fire DPS meant to introduce Durandal (Marisa Impact) and she has no Astral Ring, so she is obsolete in 9.0: unlock her mainly for Elysian Realm first-clear rewards.

Part 1 Fire supports

Valkyrie Gloria
Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo!
Herrscher of Truth

Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo! and Herrscher of Truth are the Part 1 Fire supports (SP, Ultimate CD, Ignite buffs, Elemental Breach). They carry her, but any stronger Fire DPS (Dea Anchora, Miracle ☆ Magical Girl, Fenghuang of Vicissitude) makes better use of them.

All-free Fire trio

Valkyrie Gloria
Chrono Navi
Valkyrie Blastmetal

Three free Fire battlesuits: Valkyrie Gloria's leader skill gives the whole team +30% Fire DMG, Chrono Navi is the free Part 1 Fire and Ignite support, and Valkyrie Blastmetal's Total DMG buffs work even without an Astral Ring. A starter option for older content only.

Guide

How to play

Resolve and sprint

  • She starts with 240 Resolve (max 480). Basic ATK SEQ 2, 4 and 5 restore Resolve on every hit.
  • Hold [ATK] to sprint (Iron Body after 0.6s, each hit spends Resolve for bonus Fire DMG), then release for a Sprint ATK (450% ATK of Fire DMG).
  • Her lance Throws are her engine: a Throw from the weapon active refills 480 Resolve (240 for a Throw counter).

Ultimate: Eruptio Magnifica

  • For 100 SP (CD 25s), she leaps in, pulls enemies together and hurls a massive lance (1,800% ATK of Fire DMG and Quantum Implosion on QUA-type enemies), then covers the field with Aura Ignis for 15s: double Resolve gains, better Ignore Interrupt and, from S rank, +50% Total DMG.
  • In Aura Ignis, holding [ATK] with at least 240 Resolve spends all of it on a Decisive Blow.

Rotation (Marisa Impact)

  1. Ultimate (in the Elysian Realm, open with the Lightning Empress support).
  2. During Aura Ignis: Charged ATK (Decisive Blow) → weapon Throw to refill Resolve, and repeat until the Ultimate buff ends (you will notice when the Charged ATK turns back into a sprint).
  3. Enemies with Iron Body cannot be thrown: use Charged ATK, then Basic ATK until the gauge is full.
  4. After the buff: sprint and Basic ATK to refill Resolve until you have SP for the next Ultimate.

After her Ultimate Evasion, spam [Evade → ATK] while Combat Focus lasts: each tap goes straight to Basic ATK SEQ 5 and restores SP and Resolve. Her leader skill gives the team +30% Fire DMG and +17% Throw Total DMG.

Strengths

  • Free and easy to get: Expedition, Adventure Tasks, and Returnee Support's Valkyrie Reinforcements.
  • Throws control enemies, and her Ultimate gathers them and inflicts Quantum Implosion on QUA-type enemies.
  • Team-wide +30% Fire DMG leader skill.
  • Worth unlocking for Elysian Realm first-clear crystals (Marisa Impact).

Weaknesses

  • Obsolete: a mediocre Fire DPS even at release, with no Astral Ring.
  • Her Throws do not work on enemies with Iron Body, which breaks her loop.
  • Weak Elysian Realm signets: play lower difficulties (Marisa Impact).
  • Her best weapon, Sagittarius Astra, is Dea Anchora's PRI-ARM and should go to Dea Anchora first.
