Valkyrie (ワルキューレ) is a job class that originally hailed from YGGDRASIL.

Background

Valkyrie is a divine magic caster class which specialized in fighting power. There also appears to be variants depending on the weapon the holder wields.

In order to acquire the Valkyrie class, a player needs to satisfy prerequisite conditions like ninja, though the former is said to be harder to acquire.

Known Valkyries

• Shalltear Bloodfallen
• Antilene Heran Fouche

Known Classes

• Valkyrie: Lance
• Lesser Valkyrie

Abilities and Powers

As a divine magic caster class, a Valkyrie could use many spells which were very effective on the undead.

Additionally those with this class are able to use a skill to summon an Einherjar.

After obtaining the first level in the class, a Valkyrie may specialize in one weapon. From the second level onwards, a Valkyrie may choose a weapon category of any attribute—bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing—to master. For example if a Valkyrie chooses the lance for the first level and then chooses slashing weapons for the second level, then they will be able to use all lances and weapons belonging to the slashing attribute category. However their Einherjar will be weaker.

Trivia

• In Norse mythology, Valkyries are warrior women that manage the souls of the dead.
• The only native in the New World to have obtained a Valkyrie class is Antilene Heran Fouche.
