What deletes valkyrie?

So, I like to brag about advertise the immortal

Valkyrie. At lvl 50 she gets ~8k hp after CtA, 85 all res, crap ton of armor, plus ~50%

Evade chance and regens >5% of life per second
Essentially unkillable, and normally facetanks whole t5

Herald packs

But sometimes, she just gets deleted..

1) lvl 49 valk vs bloody porcupines in act 1, t5

Herald pack. I think they were cursed and with

Fanaticism. Deleted her in <1s. They then hit my bowazon pretty hard, but she survived at her ~2.2k hp and mawed them down. What was it with the

Valkyrie?
2) lvl 43 vs ghosts in

Tal Rasha tomb in act 2, also t5

Herald. she runs into them and disappears. lightning zon the deletes the ghosts with a few pokes of her Infinity without taking any dmg. what was it?
3) against uber ancients I think i know what it is, but maybe someone can confirm. Her res is 2 per lvl, capped at 85. So say at lvl 50 she has 100 res, unaffected by hell penalty. then the

Conviction kicks in and brings her res to 0 or even negative. then 1-2 elemental shots and she's in valhalla. right?
Also some site says she can get immunity if her gear rolls with res on top of her natural 85 res

Cap.. is it true? then she would be kinda survivable even against the ubers (but you never know until you meet them..)

Database description for

Valkyrie by

Stormlash says "Sometimes Valkyries may have Immunities on higher difficulty. You may wish to recast

Valkyrie until you get one."

Those nasty ghost heralds in TalRasha killed several of mine very tanky Bind Demons in a second.

from https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/ind ... e=Valkyrie:

Resist +% from item affixes can result in a

Valkyrie becoming immune to fire, lightning, cold and poison, although these immunities won't be displayed.

that's weird and even more frustrating than shuffling charms, gear, and looking for a skiller shrine to make a Dream

Valkyrie.. anybody knows if it's a bug or intended?

i saw it, just can't tell if it's true from own experience
from 10+ uber ancients fights

Valkyrie survived once i believe.. not sure if the immunities came from gear or just stars aligned

Feels like something does percentage of the HP dmg or something. That

Valkyrie according to its stats seems pretty OP and unkillable, but what do I know.

Heralds (like any other boss, super unique, ...) deal 6x (or was it 8x?) damage towards summons and mercs. That's the reason your ama survived and your valk dies, despite having the "better numbers".

didn't know, thanks.. doesn't explain though why she insta died to these two packs and took almost no dmg from all others.. including dclone that day

a few more dozen heralds are done, all without a scratch, including the ghosts in

Tal Rasha tomb and the porcupines in act 1 that killed her last time. but this time one pack of stygian witches in

Frozen River, voila, gone in a second together with the merc. no idea if it's a bug or intended, but bad game design for sure.
and ancients killed her too in 3 seconds, even merc survived this time!

Guys, I respecced my icemaiden for max

Valkyrie survivavbility (20 valk points + 20

Decoy points). at lvl 50 it should be 140 base res before the items. now i would like to see if she can survive ubers (lvl 44 with 1 point in

Decoy dies instantly 9/10 times). obviously icemaiden can't kill the ubers and i don't want to waste the keys, so if someone can carry ubers and wants to contribute to the experiment, hit me up

Sometimes I feel like she spawns with 1 hp, cause it dies on one-hit from minion low foes, and other times is tanky as fuck, so must be some rng too on the stats, luckily its free and fast to recover, and I dont have to pay 50k each time.

i prebuff her with different gear + skill shrine to lvl 50 so it's very annoying when she dies. but she really almost never dies. i wish she remained spawned on login

today 26 heralds, no valk fatalities, and only 2 heralds managed to scratch her at all (<10% health damaged)

my theory is that she has some hidden pdr / mdr that negates weak attacks, and only very heavy hitters like ubers or very rare very nasty heralds can

Pierce through it

The

Valkyrie can spawn with different bonuses including huge life and regen bonuses. The armor and weapon colors represent which bonuses she spawned with.

Armor:

• Light-Gold Armor - normal, no enhanced mods other than + light radius
• Dark Gold Armor - 24% Faster Hit Recovery
• Pale Gold Armor - 66-80% Enhanced Defense
• Orange Armor - Attacker Takes Damage of 4-6
• White Armor - +x defense based upon the skill level of your
  Valkyrie and your character's level
• Blue Armor - chance to cast
  Frost Nova/
  Nova on being struck
• Dark Red Armor - Poison length reduced by 75%
• Red Armor - Huge +life bonus, and almost a double regen rate

Weapon:

• Blue - Chance to deal cold damage. Potential use of a cold skill on striking
• Teal - Chance to deal lightning damage. Potential use of a lightning skill on striking
• Green - Chance to deal poison damage
• Black - Enhanced damage modifier. Life leech is also a possibility
• White - Large bonus to AR. Think "Fools" mod

In my opinion the best spawn combination is the normal red armor with black weapon.

lol this whole time i thought she keeps randomply changing the attributes and colors throughout the game but now that i look closer she actually stays the same entire time

me too, so nice info there Knappogue, I thought it was just pure cosmetic, now Ill keep an eye on the tyoe I got spawned, much valuable info, always learning new stuff on this game!

I placed the

Valkyrie spawn data in the skill page for quick reference
post4451608.html#p4451608

... and some 30 heralds later (luckily stopped by a disconnect), lvl 52 valk only took minor dmg from a t5

Herald flayer in nihlatak's halls. took her about 1 sec to regen back to full health. everyone else no visible dmg at all...

Does lifetap help with Valk survival?

I have a bowazon and I'm considering using an a5 merc with Last Wish + Grief. This setup is to mainly tank heralds.

My Valk gets deleted instantly by

Herald packs. It's only lvl10 though. Putting more points into it.

i don't think lifetap will help at all

but more points, hard as soft, certainly will

even without

Decoy synergy, 20 points into valk + 20 soft points from gear will make her nearly unkillable. and bowazon has the 20 points to spare

i recommend prebuffing (+3 passive & magic amulet,

Tiara and gloves. and a few skiller charms), then switching to normal gear

then u don't need the merc to tank at all, can use a rogue or an emilio with a useful aura
