Soul Knight Prequel – Riftvoker: Ultimate Valkyrie Build

Quick Guide to Ultimate Valkyrie Build

This build is specialized for Valkyrie and therefore has more survivability in comparison to damage. Even though the damage is lower than most builds, it is enough to reach high waves in Valkyrie with ease.

How It Works:

The 3 AOE skills – Gaze of the Abyss, Singularity, Reality Throw – on the primary wheel contribute to clearing, as opposed to other builds which solely focus on Reality Throw for their damage. This allows much faster clearing and saves time to defeat bosses in Valkyrie.

Twin Novae is the most important, while Epicenter boosts the damage. Epicenter is chosen over Sortie because it does 2 times more damage even if we include attack speed from Sortie.

Echocasting is to trigger Reality throw more frequently.

Helxar Energy Shiel is chosen over 3/3 because I already have Conch spirit and Voidout.

Special FateBounds:

  • Spirit of Archwizard: More DEX to not miss in Valkyrie.
  • Spirit of Snail: Survivability, pairs well with the eidolon.
  • Reality Throw: Threads: Higher 6 roll chance, more damage.
  • Prestidigitator: CD reduction is good.

It is important to get Effect CD Reduction in mods so Voidout, Echocasting, and Spirit of the Great River Snail trigger more frequently.

Mods:

Dark Damage, Light Damage, Resistance Penetration, All Damage, Effect CD Reduction, DEX% (no misses on higher Valkyrie), Skill CD, Damage to Boss, Natural Resistances

Boons:

  • Fimbulwinter: Is AOE (affected by all my FateBounds), and draws enemies in, which stacks damage from the Riftvoker passive.
  • Thor’s Demnese: Gives Extra Shock damage and is AOE.
  • Harbinger or Helheim: Extra health to stay alive during Recuperation downtime.

Eidolons:

  • Zulan: Increase duration of Voidout and Grace.
  • Archwizard: Just for the Spirit, Whambastic Whizbang is not needed.
  • River Snail: For the Spirit. M – Tier effect is needed, providing damage reduction for Valkyrie.

Pets:

Ronnie Darko is recommended but I use a frog for the INT +12%, which gives resistances, magic power, and more DEX from the Archwizard Spirit.

I use Lite Glitch at the start of every battle, so Echocasting triggers it twice.

Max DPS: 463M

Note that Hyperspace Ram and Circle of Consenation are both being auto casted in my secondary skill wheel. Can also use Tribal Spear as a secondary weapon for the attack speed buff. Dracolith weapon can also be used for the shield.
