Valkyr, Godess of Rage [Hysteria Build]

This guide showcases my personal hysteria build for Valkyr and what you should pay attention to when using such builds. Become "Death, Destroyer of worlds" today.

Introduction and Disclaimer

So you want to be Valkyr[warframe.wikia.com]?

You love her Hysteria[warframe.wikia.com] ability?
That you came to the right person. This guide will show you a very good Valkyr Hysteria build, concepted by me.

Note that this build is my personal favorite and compliments my playstyle. You may not enjoy it the way I do. Also there are a lot of different builds out there. I use this one because I think this one holds the most value. And because the other ones are WRONG.

Now I feel like a walking add...

Cons and Pros

Cons:

• You have to kill Alad V[warframe.wikia.com] alot.
  To get Valkyr in the first place, you have to kill Salad V. He can be a d*ck to kill since Zanuka can be hard to take down without good weapons.
  Just try to get in public matches with someone who can 1shot him.
  
• Very expensive
  
• Very time consuming
  
• Weak against assassins[warframe.wikia.com]

Pros:

• You have to kill Cabadge V alot.
  Kind of a Love/Hate relationship.
  
• Very fun, for me at least
  
• Very fast and aggressiv playstyle
  
• High level missions and over 30 Minutes Survival become a joke
  
• Grineer become your plaything
  
• Also...

Layout and Mods in detail

Essential

Vitality:[warframe.wikia.com]
Basic survivability. You should always have this with you.
Steel Fiber:[warframe.wikia.com]
Again basic survivability. Must have for Valkyr.
Rush[warframe.wikia.com] and Armored Agility[warframe.wikia.com]:
Movmentspeed is essential to this build/playstyle plus the added armor for even more survivability. I get back on this in the playstyle section.
Flow:[warframe.wikia.com]
More energy capacity = longer Hysteria = good.
Narrow Minded:[warframe.wikia.com]
Power Duration decreases the upkeep cost of Hysteria and increases the initial time of Warcry[warframe.wikia.com]. Also, you don't need Power Range.
Fleeting Expertise:[warframe.wikia.com]
Wait. Didn't I just say Power Duration is good for you? Yes, but not as good as Power Efficiency. It decreases the upkeep cost of Hysteria massivly.
Rage:[warframe.wikia.com]
This mod makes sure to put your time out of Hysteria and your health to good use. See Archenemies for more informations.
Eternal War:[warframe.wikia.com]
Because casting Warcry more than once is for pu**ies.

Aura:
Energy Siphon[warframe.wikia.com] or Steel Charge[warframe.wikia.com].
You might already noticed it but you use two aura mods and you have to change the polarity of your Valkyr's aura mod to nothing.
Why? Because the aura you will use is situational.
Use Steel Charge when playing with other people that have one or more Energy Siphons already or when Soloing against Grineer.
Use Energy Siphon when Soloing against everything else.

Alternatives:

Streamline:[warframe.wikia.com]
Use this when you don't have Fleeting Expertise. Why don't use both? Sadly, Power Efficiency caps at +75%.
Continuity:[warframe.wikia.com]
While a very poor one, this is an alternative to Narrow Minded. Primed Continuity[warframe.wikia.com] is somewhat better but still not perfect, and also very expensive.
Primed Flow:[warframe.wikia.com]
Flows big sister. Use this if you have it, but it isn't required.

For this build you will need 6-7 Formas[warframe.wikia.com], depending on the mods you'll use, which makes it very expensive and time/material consuming.

!Important!

Never, never, never, neverever put Power Strength in your Valkyr.
You just don't need it.
Since the Hysteria overhaul, the damage of Hysteria is effected by your melee weapon aswell.

Playstyle

It is simple.
You run around and slide attack.
That's basicly it.

At the start of the mission wait untill you see your first enemy.
Than hit 4 for Hysteria.
Than 2 for Warcry.
That hit him.
You will always run, never Momentum Stacking (see below).
You don't want to overshoot your enemy and running makes it easier to just Strg + E quickly.
Your slide attack is much stronger than your regular attacks, making it your attack of choice.
Always initiate an enemy with a slide attack and if they survive just hit E or slide attack again. Now on really high level missions (60+) or a long survival it is likely that enemys survive a slide attack, but always remember,
you are f**king invincible.
















Hey now, Momentum Stacking? What is that?
Going fast it is.
Check out this guide by Magnus for more information.
And, Magnus, sorry I didn't ask.

Difficulty and Archenemies

• Grineer - No Match

  Grineer have (right now) nothing against you. They can't stop you from going Hysteria and drop Energyorbs like crazy. Normally their strength is in their knock downs and disarm, their status effects and their firepower. You can ignore all that since you are... you know.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The only enemy that can be dangerous is the Grineer Manic[warframe.wikia.com] which can dispel Hysteria. But they spawn very infrequently and are easiely killed.
  
  

• Infested - Prioritize

  While easy to kill at first, the Infested's heavies can be a problem. Kill in this order:
  
  • Ancient Disruptor:[warframe.wikia.com]
    

    Kill it at all cost! Never leave one standing!

    These guys drain your energy and, when you are out of Hysteria and try to get energy back, have a 10% chance on procing Magnetic Damage[warframe.wikia.com] on you, which drains all of your energy.
    
  • Ancient Healer:[warframe.wikia.com]
    Kill as soon as possible. They give every Infested in range a damage reduction buff. You don't want that. It also gives them stagger and knock down immunity, but you don't care.
    
  • Swarm-Mutalist MOA:[warframe.wikia.com]
    Kill as soonas possible. They give light Infested units like crawlers and walkers additional armor. It's kind of annoying.
    
  • Tar-Mutalist MOA:[warframe.wikia.com]
    Kill if it's too annoying or in range. They leave tar puddles that slow you down. Evil in combination with multiple Disruptors.
  
  

• Corrupted - Stay Cool

  The Corrupted have the Corrupted Nullifier[warframe.wikia.com] which disables your Hysteria if you get inside the shield. This can be deadly, but it is unlikely. The Nullifier itself is weak and can be killed with little effort. Let a teammate kill them or run in yourself. Just remember to reactivate Hysteria ASAP. You can also attack the shield, but be careful not to step into it while meleeing.
  Corrupted Nullifiers only spawn on Tier 3 or 4 Void missions or any Defense Void mission.
  
  

• Corpus - Annoying Pieces of...

  Inventors of the Nullifiers, the Corpus are the most annoying to use this build against. Not only do they have the Nullifier Crewmen[warframe.wikia.com], they also have the Isolator Bursa[warframe.wikia.com], the Comba[warframe.wikia.com] and the Scrambus[warframe.wikia.com], which can all disable Hysteria. Avoid Corpus missions or be very careful what to attack.
  
  

• Assassins[warframe.wikia.com] - Well, you equip ranged weapons for a reason

  The Stalker[warframe.wikia.com]/Shadow Stalker[warframe.wikia.com] and the Zanuka Hunter[warframe.wikia.com] are formidably foes, being able to dispel your Hysteria as soon as you use it. Always stay a range and hammer them with your best weapons.
  
  Huh? If I forgot the Grustrag Three[warframe.wikia.com]? No, I didn't. They can't dispel. They are pushovers.

Weapons and ?Equipment?

Weapons

Your arsenal is importent, even if you are invincible. So always take your best stuff with you when charging into difficult missions. Because you never know...

The only weapon that is really importent is your melee weapon. Hysteria's damage scales with your melee's damage. For more information on how that work, don't ask me. Ask MarPro15[docs.google.com]. All you need to know, basicly, is that you'll need a weapon with a lot of base damage, mod it with a lot of damage mods (Pressure Point[warframe.wikia.com] etc) and elemental damage (Molten Impact[warframe.wikia.com] etc) and, if you have it, Berserker[warframe.wikia.com]. Don't worry about Crit or Status chance, Hysteria has a Crit chance of 50% and Status chance of 10% which is strong enough. Adding Finisher Damage[warframe.wikia.com] is also unnecessary, since Hysteria has a 1600% Ground Finisher and a 6400% Melee finisher modifier.
Hysteria is also, sadly, not effected by Weapon Augments[warframe.wikia.com].

?Equipment?

Me: Clem.
You: Clem?
Me: Clem.
You: Clem.
Me: Clem.
You: Why Clem?
Me: Grakata.
You: What?
Me: Gra~ka~ta~.
You: I should use Clem because of his Grakatas?
Me: Clem. Grakata.
You: You are f**king with me, aren't you?
Me: Clem.
You: Though so...

Last Word

As a tip, put on some music that gets your blood pumping.
Personally, I recommand:

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

steel fiber? whut

[nerdscicion]

Strength actually increases damage on Hysteria, and streamline is necessary to consume less than 0.60 p/s energy points. (Yeah bad english)

[Wintermute]

Valkyre. Flow. Energy syphon. Primed cont non-essential. No streamline. No Drift mod. What a garbage.

[Ata.Keritesion]

Hysteria Valkyr? booooooooooooooring

[UnGoogle]

Completly wrong build, ratedown.

[Kireina]

I'll give you a hysteria build, 2 mods vitality and rage. haha easist frame to mod

[Nyx]

Clem Clem Clem
Grakata Clem (y)

[telefonförsäljare21]

You didn't mention the corpus shock eximus unit which emit a magnetic status effect within 5 meter's which can easily kick your ass good.

[Vakarian]

You want all strength for her, this is an ok build but a really good one :)
so something like eternal war, streamline, fleeting, narrow minded, blind rage, continuity, transient and intensify, with coaction drift and steel charge
