Again, A valkyrie from her play!

Ill explain even simpler.

1. There are different adaptations of Valkyries. 

The one you mention.

The one that is portrayed in more recent media.

Can you guess which one Wigfrid is?

Can you guess which one wigfrid is? Can you guess which one makes more sense as a theatrical drama. Do you think Wigfrid's play involved her being the kind of Valkyrie which help the dead cross over?

Or

Do you think she portrayed a valkyrie which fought to the death? Which one do you think is more exciting? Do you think maybe she fought for odin? Do you think maybe she fought dragons on a unicorn?

From the very beginning I was talking about the fierce type of Valkyrie and I didnt even know they didn't fight in mythology. Wanna know why? Because no one cares about them in that light. That's boring. Valkyries are now represented as warriors.

*sigh* I should of just said from the very beginning that it didnt even matter if shes a Valkyrie or viking. In the game she fights. Thats all that matters.

and again. I was just pointed that "real" valkyries arent like you said because i didnt know that you didnt know how they are because "they are boring". Also i pointed it because i dont see that i fits that much (its a cow)  but that is my opinion like her not having the extra damage riding on beefalos. My opinion

if you opinion is the opposite, good for you. For that are forums, to share opinions and learn from each other

Lmao I don't even care anymore, if Klei wanted to fix it they probably would of already. Wish I had known more about Valkyries before hand, as to avoid that pitfall altogether. Im just going to take my Wormwood baby and go play somewhere else.

Ok then, I hoped you learned your lesson. Lol

Just kidding. Have a nice day.

Gaul, early French. I was just joking.:wilson_ecstatic:

Magic Potion - 1 Lobster, 1 Garlic, 1 Fish, 1 Berry

Fills health to full upon drinking it. Lasts 30 seconds, all enemies including bosses are defeated in one hit, user has 99% damage reduction (except for heat and cold damage) and cannot be stunlocked or put to sleep, all resources are mined in one hit (trees, boulders etc).

When it wears off player has groggy effect for 20 seconds. Drinking Magic Potion more than once per day turns the player into a Moonrock statue permanently.

Dude.. seriously? just let Wigfrid craft exclusive horse/Beefalo armor that only she can use.. The Beefalo doesn’t deal increased damage, but drastically takes less with the armor.

Its a simple concept that was used in games as far back as the PlayStation 2 and Dynasty Warriors franchise.

Which by the way... Mighty Warriors in that franchise DO Actually dismount before engaging into battle.. just putting that out there. ;) 

I guess our Grane wasn't trained to play a method acting role...

There seems to be some sort of confusion regarding Wigfrid's character in this thread. I should point out that in the original context, there is no such thing as a "fighting" Valkyrie, even the Wagnerian ones. They all simply are. It's impossible to take them out of this context, since they are the very personification of battle itself; even their names translate into "battle" or something relating to combat ("wig" is ancient germanic for "battle"). Therefore it's natural and even expected to view them as warriors.

I agree that the damage buff should translate into the ornery steed, there is no reason why it shouldn't. Plus, it fits her character absolutely perfectly, since she is based on Die Walküre's main protagonist, Brünnhilde, who has her own steed that plays a big part in the story.

Enough of this beefalo nonsense. A chariot will do just fine. If thor can have one, why can't wigfrid? #girlpower

These are great suggestions!

However, the only things I can even remotely see Klei implementing, especially considering they chose not to add them during the Wigfrid rework or YOTB, is just allowing her 25% (No, not +90 damage) damage modifier, resistance, and/or songs to apply to mounted beefalo. Working with her existing mechanics, instead of adding new ones.

I think her damage modifier should absolutely transfer to the mean beef, it fits her character imo! And it's meaning (who she is...isn't) prob shouldn't be twisted in every which way, keep it simple

With Wolfgang it would make no sense (since he is not a warrior) so I don't see it as a problem leaving him out of the equation

We are not buffing her, we are giving her back her own perk which she losses for no reason. And its 82.5 damage. Why wendy has a dps of over 200 damage. Makes no sense.

I couldnt agree more.

What kind of warrior rides to battle, and then proceeds to dismount from their grand steed before engaging in combat?

Well, dragoons were aa thing, their entire point was rising to the combat position with their horses, dismounting, and proceeding to fight. Though they were rifkemen soit's not too relevant to Wigfrid's predicement.

As for your analysis, yes it would be great to have Wiffrid have some perks while fighting on her mount. It doesn't make too much sense that the beefalo would get her natural lifesteal abilities but it's perfectly natural that it coulf heak with the heartening ballad.

This thread is like 2 months old but alright. Also in the latest gameplay trailer we see Wigfrid riding a beefalo. Looking at its outfit, I’d assume it’s an ornery beefalo. So both gameplay trailers show Wigfrid on an ornery beefalo. What more is there to say?
