Assessment

Essentially two classes in one, Valkyrie offers many tools—such as the immensely powerful  Double Trouble IIIGain 100% TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted
Strength: 100%Duration: 1 turn .
Spear: All parties gain 10% DA UpDouble attack rate is boosted
Strength: 10%Duration: 3 turnsWithout other buffs and 5~10% TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted
Strength: 5~10%Duration: 3 turnsMaximum effect at 3 buffs..
Axe: Inflict DA DownDouble attack rate is lowered
 and TA DownTriple attack rate is lowered
 on one enemy. as a subskill—but is often overshadowed by the more universally effective Holy Saber and Bishop outside of highly organized multiplayer content.

Valkyrie's main limitation is the situational nature of  Drive It In II300% elemental damage to one enemy.
Spear: Inflict Break Boosted (Time)Break mode time is extended
 on one enemy in Break.
Axe: Inflict Mode Bar CutCut to foe's mode bar
 to one enemy in Overdrive. and  Resonating SurgeElemental damage to one enemy and gain 25% Skill DMG Up (Stackable)Skill DMG is boosted
Strength: 25% (Max: 200%)Duration: 6 turnsAdditive modifier., which offer less utility than  Phalanx IIAll parties gain 70% DMG CutTaking 70% less DMG
Duration: 1 turn Damage Cut reducing damage taken for all elements.
Warning! Does not work for Plain Damage!. or  Panacea IIRestores 150 + 25% maximum HP to all parties (Healing cap: 2400 [1000 for other parties]).. This makes it more efficient for the aforementioned Spear-wielding classes to simply bring  Double Trouble IIIGain 100% TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted
Strength: 100%Duration: 1 turn .
Spear: All parties gain 10% DA UpDouble attack rate is boosted
Strength: 10%Duration: 3 turnsWithout other buffs and 5~10% TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted
Strength: 5~10%Duration: 3 turnsMaximum effect at 3 buffs..
Axe: Inflict DA DownDouble attack rate is lowered
 and TA DownTriple attack rate is lowered
 on one enemy. as their subskill. Valkyrie has better damage potential, however, making it better if Holy Saber or Bishop's utility is covered by other party members.

For newer players, a point of consideration for unlocking priority is the increased EXP required to the level Lancer classes. Furthermore, the class is not a prerequisite for any other class besides its Row IV upgrade, Apsaras, lowering the immediate value of the CP investment. While the class's high-level multiplayer value is immense, one will likely have unlocked all Row III classes before it can be capitalized upon.

Skill Evaluation

  •  Drive It In II300% elemental damage to one enemy.
    Spear: Inflict Break Boosted (Time)Break mode time is extended
     on one enemy in Break.
    Axe: Inflict Mode Bar CutCut to foe's mode bar
     to one enemy in Overdrive.    : Break-extension and mode bar cut maybe valuable in organized or high-level multiplayer content, but less consistently useful than offerings of other classes. Its damage is average, but synergizes with  Resonating SurgeElemental damage to one enemy and gain 25% Skill DMG Up (Stackable)Skill DMG is boosted
    Strength: 25% (Max: 200%)Duration: 6 turnsAdditive modifier    .    .

    Axe: Inflict DA DownDouble attack rate is lowered
     and TA DownTriple attack rate is lowered
     on one enemy.    : Guaranteed triple attacks for 1 turn, while limited to the Main Character, is useful for securing the MC a charge bar lead and valuable enough to some classes (notably Gunslinger) justify it as a subskill even without the Spear or Axe effects.
    • Spear: Raid-wide DA UpDouble attack rate is boosted
       and TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted
       is amazing and the main draw of the class for early/mid-game content.
    • Axe: Enemy DA DownDouble attack rate is lowered
       and TA DownTriple attack rate is lowered
       may be useful in tough raids against bosses with frequent multiattacks, but often less useful than traditional buffs and debuffs (including Spear's version) in general content. The 1 turn guaranteed triple-attack is an excellent bonus,
  •  Resonating SurgeElemental damage to one enemy and gain 25% Skill DMG Up (Stackable)Skill DMG is boosted
    Strength: 25% (Max: 200%)Duration: 6 turnsAdditive modifier    .    : Synergizes with  Drive It In II300% elemental damage to one enemy.
