Introduction - The Valkyrie Host is an Amazon who failed miserably at combat training. She was absolutely terrible at combat, but she didn't seem to know it! Furthermore, she's determined to find out what's troubling the world. Her mother, fearing her daughter would be helpless, asked that some Amazon higher-ups hold a seance and ask if any Valkyries would do something to keep this Amazon safe from harm.

The seance was held and one Valkyrie immediately rose to the challenge. She was more than eager to get back into combat. Still, a problem remained. The inept Amazon didn't yet have the ability to summon a Valkyrie.

The higher-ups were just about to give up completely when suddenly an elder thought of something. If you can exorcise something, can you possess something? It'd never been tried before, but this was a desperate situation! The Amazon higher-ups snatched the inept Amazon from her house and smuggled her out of the village just in case the possession didn't go as planned. After thorough brainwashing, the inept Amazon agreed to be possessed by the Valkyrie. The possession spell declared that when the inept Amazon became powerful enough to summon a Valkyrie, the possession would end. The Valkyrie summoned would be the very same that had possessed the inept Amazon. From that point on, Valkyrie's job is to push ahead and keep the inept Amazon safe from harm. Inept Amazon's job is to keep Valkyrie going strong and help her out.

Rules:
Class: Amazon
Tag: VYH

Rules for clvl 1-29
The Valkyrie Host is considered to be possessed from clvl 1 to clvl 29. During that time skills and stats may be distributed as one wishes. Items are unrestricted except for weapons, which should be spear or javelin class.

Rules for clvl 30+
When clvl 30 is reached, the Valkyrie leaves the host and the skill of Valkyrie must be learned. Ideally Valkyrie should be pumped nonstop until max.

It's Valkyrie's job to do tanking and a good deal of the killing. It's Inept's job to keep Valkyrie strong and help her to kill things.

Act Bosses will be the toughest to overcome and Valkyrie is likely to die than to do damage (minions take extra damage from Act bosses), so do what you must to take down these nasty bosses. Keep in mind that Valkyrie would simply love to have the killing blow.


Items
These item restictions only apply to a clvl 30+ Valkyrie Host. Before reaching clvl 30 a Valkyrie Host is unrestricted in terms of item enchantments.

Only Tridents, Spetums, Brandistocks, and Javelin Class weapons may be used. (& exceptional versions)

Armor, Helms, Belts, Gloves, Boots, Jewelry, and Shields are unrestricted by type, but if it is enchanted it must have one of the following effects:
*Life
*Mana
*Skill
*Cast speed

You may not use items with -Light Radius. It's insulting to Valkyrie.


Stats
Once you hit 30, you must allocate as many points as possible into Mana or Vitality. Only pump Strength and Dexterity if you need to wear something.
