Ah kk. The Wiki page is out of date / incomplete so, it just mentions the Resistance which is why I was puzzled.
She's damn easy to kite though (unlike Posi).
*Edit : Oh, if you fail the last timed mission (by letting it time out) would you still get the arc merit reward? That'd explain why the reward is fairly low (damn you exploiters *shakes fistsicles*)
Valkyries MoG is a slightly unique one, I think, and a complete watsit to combat. A friend on his bots MM and me on my Crab with pets et all had quite a tough time against those two. I wouldnt mind Valkyrie rezzing and MoGing...but I DO mind the damn thing lasting so long. It really is a tad too long
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Her MoG grants 95% defense to all but psi and 95% resistance(???) to everything if i read culex resistance charts right.
I thought she did a slightly beefed up "old style" MoG? Big boost to defence and res, making her all but unhittable (including by psi - that's the beefed up part) for the duration.
A real hassle as a solo squishy, as she does 2 hits ---> hospital trip for you and she's effectively untouchable (and certainly unkillable) for as long as the power lasts. After trying all sorts of options, including debuffs and overdosing on yellows, the only sane tactic I found for dealing was to dash to the lifts and hide downstairs until she's hittable again. Effective, but a long way from an exciting battle.

Running around going "Whoop-woo-woo-whoop-woo" works too, she's a bit dim, bless her techno-warrior lil heart.
True though, if it wasn't for their silly emergency God-with no-weak-points powers they wouldn't have lasted very long. Poor Mirror Spirit (I bet her up last night too in a different arc) only took me about a minute to beat. I don't think she even killed a pet on me.
Am sure a squishy can use a jetpack or something and limit what she is capable of.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Limit, but she's still doing huge damage with those attacks she can use - there's little point in hanging around to receive it given that you can't hit back.
At least as an MM you can do the Benny Hill pet chase, with the pet damage starting to bite as soon as her MoG goes down. For a petless Corr or Dom, though, just trying an attack to see if she's vulnerable will root you for a few seconds and that can have very nasty side effects if it lets her catch up.
My Dom will still hit her a good percentage of the time when she has Mogged but I have a lot of +Acc on her but if I was to try her solo - I'd probably go with the leggit until it drops option.

So yesterday I was running the Ambassador Kuhr'Rekt arc on my Necro/Dark and IO came across Valkerie. After I'd taken her down the first time she rezzed and then activated something which meant I couldn't hit her (neither could my pets), so I couldn't heal and I ended up kiting her for a bit until she calmed down. (Cue Benny Hill music as I'm chased around that Crey Lab by her and she's chased by a stream of undead).
Looking it up on Paragon Wiki it says it was Moment of Glory, but in its description it says MOG raises Resistance. So how come she was deflecting all of my attacks (wouldn't have had much of an issue with her if I'd been able to hit her to heal, even if I was barely scratching her). It lasted at least a minute or two as well so it wasn't the new player version of MoG either was it?
Not too important, like I said I kited her until it wore off, healed back up and my pets finished her off for me. Just interested to know.
Posi pulled the same trick, was down to 25% health and became unhittable but I see he has Overcharge listed in his powers so that makes sense (he's a git too, damn Rad AOEs destroying my -ToHit and damn, damn EMP. Still only one faceplant throughout the arc).
Finally why does an arc where you've to defeat Posi twice and Valkerie only give 3 merit rewards? Sorta sucky.
Three fun fights though.
