Just a quick tip you could have added. The jumping light with valkyrie is an unsafe attack. If an opponent blocks the attack they are almost ALWAYS guaranteed a free guardbreak just from blocking that attack.
You forgot the mention that she can block at the start of her light attack, it's quite handy and if used correctly can be used to do some vicious counterattacks!
Every time I play any opponent in For Honor I close the application, delete the game, throw my PS4 out the window, buy a new PS4, buy the game, and proceed to fight my opponent
Really? I usually get pushed off the edge, rage so hard 3 of my legs fall off, my Xbox catches fire, I though it through the window, buy a new Xbox, throw that at a door, buy a PC for better fps, my mouse breaks so I throw the pc at the nearest frog, buy a new door, install for honor on it, get a game, get pushed in to spikes and repeat 178 times before getting an Xbox again and rejoin the match to beat my opponent.
AmpedGames He is too slow, I was dueling a Lawbringer as a Lawbringer yesterday and we were parrying each other's parry unblockables and it became a game of who ran out of stamina first.
U can spam trips and also if you keep shoulder pinning someone over and over again it won't apply more bleed it does like 2 damage over the bleed that you already did
I didn't actually know some of this stuff as I rarely use the deflect and most often times fail it. As for the other methods of the sweep I had little knowledge on that so this was much more helpful than I first anticipated
On some heroes, you can get one parry and do the gb into headbutt. It drains so much stamina that they fall down, and you can go into the ridiculous no stam punish.
Dunno if it has been said already but as valk, after a guardbreak you can start the zone hit, cancel it after the first hit, and instantly get a second guard break, in order to get more damage out, as people almost never expect this.
This makes me want to play Valk again. I was really good with the deflect stabs but always fucked up my trips. Learned, through this video, that it has changed a lot since before valk wasn't able to have that good of a move mix-up way back when.
Shmolty no lie ur videos helped me out tremendously on for honor ur vids helped me find what I'm good at in for honor helped me master them and learn new tactics u even helped me find my favorite character so thanks and keep up to good work ps ur my favorite youtuber
Nice vid my dude. Valk is probably my fav. I feel like a lot of people say she's op don't punish her huge recovery times from missed sweeps and shield crushes. And I'm pretty sure that if her leap gets blocked, it's a free guard break.
also if you time it right (which isn't really hard) you can do the valkrie charge as they're attacking and it blocks their damage as well as knocking them over. Thats how i like to start off my combos

Easy but overlooked attack with Valk, side dodge light. It's more effective than the leaping light attack and its ridiculous how many players, even Valk, don't see it coming.
Very nice guide! One crucial thing I'd like to add: All her dodge attacks, both sides and forward, are unsafe. Block it, get free guardbreak, Valkyrie cries.
Oh, and a nice mixup with the shield charge if they approach you while in full block is to forward dash guardbreak, which catches them trying to dodge your charge.
Favorite thing to do with Valk is actually with the shield tackle light top cancel - you can use the shield tackle itself to bait a dodge and then cancel at the last second after they react so that the attack will track. it has some risk but it can catch a lot of people off guard.
Can't wait until they release the new heroes in For Honor, I heard that Primal Cat on Cocaine and Cowardly Koala are rumored to come out within the next month or 2. There's also rumor of a Slippery Sloth somewhere hidden in the gamefiles.
The gigglefactor is off the charts as always. I saw in at least one of your videos you played with kensei. Are you considering doing a guide on it or you'll do nobushi because people like to bitch about her too?
I'm a rep 22 Valk I think I have fully mastered her combo's also you didnt mention the double light into the heavy feint which usually throws the opponent off so you can get a guard break.
Shmolty pk is not always bad or spamming, its just that most people that are new to the game use her because she is easy for new opponents that are still a bit bad at the game. also some pk's are really good but people get salty and blame the game for the defeat.
mrcomp from a pk main who has the capability to go in WTF I have to learn a completely new character to participate time to learn berzerker and be absolute bullshit with my infinite combo
Chad Schildknecht just because I play a character that is considered bullshit I quit peacekeeper near the beginning of the games life span not beta or alpha people say she's bullshit but say git gud when I can easily beat peacekeepers I don't exploit at all or at least from what I know saying to me git gud is about the same as throwing a cat of my balcony it's gonna live trust me I've done it honestly the game is filled with exploits that you probably use on a daily basis tell me your main and I can tell you that some stuff about your play style that's considered bullshit you're probably some keyboard warrior against peacekeeper players it's the same as calling someone who's good at the game shit because they play this way you just complain about why you die to a character and you're better than everyone because that's the mind of a human a power struggle to be better than everyone and everything but then again I'm a dumbass who can't make a solid argument on the internet for the reason of I don't fucking care
I find something strange on console shmolts. When fighting As assassin class characters against Valk I can usually react and deflect the second light, but as characters without deflect, I can't seem to block fast enough. is this just my reactions? if so why can I still react enough to deflect counter the lights.
Whenever I fight a valk, if I get hit by the sweep I just cannot seem to dodge, no matter how much i spam the dodge button. I actually find Valk lights to be much harder to block/parry even then Shinobi's or Pk's
There's a nearly infinite combo with the Valkyrie: 1.) Initiate a sweep 2.) Top heavy 3.) Shield Crush 4.) Repeat 5.) When your opponent starts to dodge your sweeps, guard-break out of the Shield Crush, then do a heavy, then Shield Crush again and return to your combo, swapping the sweep with a guard-break sometimes 6.) When they start countering your guard-breaks, try the forward dashing attack and mix that in as well 7.) Make sure you finish them off with a guard-break into a heavy to get an execution for maximum style points
The sensei schmolty wipes blood from Valk's nose but clearly doesn't give a damn. SCHMOLTY Sweep the leg. Do you have a problem with that? Valk wets his pants. VALK No Sensei... ** "You're the Best" outro **
Please so. I am a very big Lord of the Rings fan and I think you are one of the funniest gaming UA-camrs ( for my humor ) as of right now and I don't want to watch some other Koala play it and ruin the experience for me,
She doesn't have a deflect. When she dodges, she blocks in that direction, effectively blocking 2 spots at once. If you block this way, you get the shoulder pin move, but if you miss, you lose all guard for a couple hundred milliseconds and the hit you tried to dodge will most likely hit you.
I used to complain about valk because it was the only hero i had a difficult time beating, then I decided to play her to see what i was up against and what she was capable of. Now i counter mostly everything any valk does.
I'm a valk main and I've just completely forgone tripping and rarely do it because, you know, it's actually fun to let your opponent fight rather than trip them every two seconds

Just a quick tip you could have added.
The jumping light with valkyrie is an unsafe attack. If an opponent blocks the attack they are almost ALWAYS guaranteed a free guardbreak just from blocking that attack.
Well that explains almost everything... Thanks for the tip.
also free guard break after block dash to side attack and the third attack in a light string
Great British Gaming meh
Side dodge light, works everytime, dunno how, everyone should know the move, the cucks.
You forgot the mention that she can block at the start of her light attack, it's quite handy and if used correctly can be used to do some vicious counterattacks!
+Mr. Bread Knew I missed something
yeah its so useful in low ranks those orochis are nothing now
Always a good day when Shmolty uploads. I recently started playing as Valkyrie and I've been enjoying it. Thanks for the tips.
+Adrian Heys I got u fam
Adrian Heys I hope you don't play her like a bitch.
xxElitexKingk Well shit. Uhh, about that.
Adrian Heys fucking savages. Play a real character like any of the knights(except for peacekeeper, she doesn't count)
Jay Kaylon Again with the thing! But hey, I have Orochi at reputation 3 if that counts.
I wanna see more of that Koala
+Bounty Hunter Kakazu He's around
Bounty Hunter Kakazu how dare you?
Every time I pick this game up again and I’m learning a new character your guides are so helpful! Thank you!
Dude I like your style. Not only is presentation on point but you cover a broad horizon of gameplay scenarios with your tips. Keep it up man!
+Joe Peschi Thanks man will do
Shmolty dude no prob
why am i watching this now when the move set is different and lets not forget the CCU
Every time I play any opponent in For Honor I close the application, delete the game, throw my PS4 out the window, buy a new PS4, buy the game, and proceed to fight my opponent

Master Shmolty, play the Lawbringer
Swear to god don't say he's too slow
+AmpedGames He's to unfast
AmpedGames 3slow5 for master shmolty

Shmolty Meanwhike Shugoki isn't?
Kane The Taylor Maybe you should stop doing the same attack over and over again.
good old shmolty
+Alexander Elashkar Good old alex
Shmolty btw if u out off ideas or something would a Nobushi guide be very noice
alot of people don't know this about valk, but her top and side dash light attacks if blocked give a free guard break even without parrying.
U can spam trips and also if you keep shoulder pinning someone over and over again it won't apply more bleed it does like 2 damage over the bleed that you already did
I didn't actually know some of this stuff as I rarely use the deflect and most often times fail it. As for the other methods of the sweep I had little knowledge on that so this was much more helpful than I first anticipated
Just came home from school started up computer and saw new upload, love it!
Keep going man you are awesome :)
+Albin Skoglund Thanks man
"Why are you watching this guide"
Because it is you, Shomlty. I don't care for the Valkyrie. I care for you.
On some heroes, you can get one parry and do the gb into headbutt. It drains so much stamina that they fall down, and you can go into the ridiculous no stam punish.
Dunno if it has been said already but as valk, after a guardbreak you can start the zone hit, cancel it after the first hit, and instantly get a second guard break, in order to get more damage out, as people almost never expect this.

+Legendary Beast Glad to help m8
Nice vid my dude. Valk is probably my fav. I feel like a lot of people say she's op don't punish her huge recovery times from missed sweeps and shield crushes. And I'm pretty sure that if her leap gets blocked, it's a free guard break.
When I see you post a video Schmolty, it makes my whole damn day. Keep up the awesome work man.
+John Machelski Good to see man thank you
That "You are fake news." Donald trump clip made me laugh and sub.
also if you time it right (which isn't really hard) you can do the valkrie charge as they're attacking and it blocks their damage as well as knocking them over. Thats how i like to start off my combos
And now all the Valks will fall before me. Me and Kensei will thank our Lord Schmolty.
Also very accurate title.
why is this guy so funny to me, ive been watching random vids of his for an hour not cuz i want any info, just to hear his jokes lmao
Another Shmolty Senpai video. I've already became spam. Thank you Shmolty Senpai

You are a man whom enjoys the act of allowing one's wife or significant other to engage in a sexual act with another man without one's own involvement.
you can also dash out of the full block stance straight into a guard break if you're fast enough
Easy but overlooked attack with Valk, side dodge light. It's more effective than the leaping light attack and its ridiculous how many players, even Valk, don't see it coming.
Very nice guide! One crucial thing I'd like to add: All her dodge attacks, both sides and forward, are unsafe. Block it, get free guardbreak, Valkyrie cries.
Oh, and a nice mixup with the shield charge if they approach you while in full block is to forward dash guardbreak, which catches them trying to dodge your charge.
There is an intro and an outro music. BUT, What's the medieval flute music during the whole guide video?
You can get a free sweep after a guard break throw in any direction, and if timed right after a charged head butt too
Favorite thing to do with Valk is actually with the shield tackle light top cancel - you can use the shield tackle itself to bait a dodge and then cancel at the last second after they react so that the attack will track. it has some risk but it can catch a lot of people off guard.
though I'm sure everyone already knew this
been watching since 300 subs shmolty your awesome
Can't wait until they release the new heroes in For Honor, I heard that Primal Cat on Cocaine and Cowardly Koala are rumored to come out within the next month or 2.
There's also rumor of a Slippery Sloth somewhere hidden in the gamefiles.
Do you make use of the light attack into any attack which results in her blocking and light attacking? It's something i've been trying to do.
The gigglefactor is off the charts as always. I saw in at least one of your videos you played with kensei. Are you considering doing a guide on it or you'll do nobushi because people like to bitch about her too?
I'm a rep 22 Valk I think I have fully mastered her combo's also you didnt mention the double light into the heavy feint which usually throws the opponent off so you can get a guard break.
Fun playing wit you, Mr Shmolt. Hope to play with you again :D Another good vid
+XxX_D4nksw4G_XxX Tanks man
Shmolty my lord and saviour
+Aaron Tiger Crofts :p
What is the music you use in the background? it sounds familiar to me
I watch this video as I eat my cinnamon toast crunch on my couch next to the window
Nice vid ;)
Can every character deflect? Thought that would be limited to assasins?
Shmolty, what do you think of PK being banned in console esoprts?
Is that Merchant music in the background?
like always nice vid :)
u planning on doing a nobushi vid anytime?
So you have done orochi and shugoki but can we get a kensei?
Great guide! Any chance you'll do one for the Warden soon?
+LuthyMoonstalker Vortex guard break repeat
Seems legit.
you forgot top light and za
What is your opinion about PK being banned from console tourdements?
+mrcomp Not ubi hosted so they can do whatever they want. As long as they don't fuck with pc pk where I don't think she needs a ban
Shmolty pk is not always bad or spamming, its just that most people that are new to the game use her because she is easy for new opponents that are still a bit bad at the game.
also some pk's are really good but people get salty and blame the game for the defeat.
mrcomp from a pk main who has the capability to go in WTF I have to learn a completely new character to participate time to learn berzerker and be absolute bullshit with my infinite combo
Chad Schildknecht just because I play a character that is considered bullshit I quit peacekeeper near the beginning of the games life span not beta or alpha people say she's bullshit but say git gud when I can easily beat peacekeepers I don't exploit at all or at least from what I know saying to me git gud is about the same as throwing a cat of my balcony it's gonna live trust me I've done it honestly the game is filled with exploits that you probably use on a daily basis tell me your main and I can tell you that some stuff about your play style that's considered bullshit you're probably some keyboard warrior against peacekeeper players it's the same as calling someone who's good at the game shit because they play this way you just complain about why you die to a character and you're better than everyone because that's the mind of a human a power struggle to be better than everyone and everything but then again I'm a dumbass who can't make a solid argument on the internet for the reason of I don't fucking care
Oh and what do you think about them banning PK in tournaments as for now?
can you do do the Raider? You can kill in 3 hits if you parry and side heavy
Hey can you do a video on the warden next?
I find something strange on console shmolts. When fighting As assassin class characters against Valk I can usually react and deflect the second light, but as characters without deflect, I can't seem to block fast enough. is this just my reactions? if so why can I still react enough to deflect counter the lights.
Whenever I fight a valk, if I get hit by the sweep I just cannot seem to dodge, no matter how much i spam the dodge button. I actually find Valk lights to be much harder to block/parry even then Shinobi's or Pk's
What's your opinion on PK being banned in tournaments?
Note that blocking the dashing lights is like blocking a warden zone, it's a guardbreak.
I get put against Pk, Pk, Pk, warden, warden, PK, warden and the knifes to my throat but OUUUU new Shmolty video that can wait!
So there are alternate ways to do combos, than written in "moveset"? Just bought the game and trying to learn Valk. :D
There's a nearly infinite combo with the Valkyrie:
1.) Initiate a sweep
2.) Top heavy
3.) Shield Crush
4.) Repeat
5.) When your opponent starts to dodge your sweeps, guard-break out of the Shield Crush, then do a heavy, then Shield Crush again and return to your combo, swapping the sweep with a guard-break sometimes
6.) When they start countering your guard-breaks, try the forward dashing attack and mix that in as well
7.) Make sure you finish them off with a guard-break into a heavy to get an execution for maximum style points
Your videos are golden Shmolty
thank god, i needed this autism
+Rumbunctious Don't thank god, thank Shmolty
Shmolty isnt that the same
Shmolty what's the difference?
Mr Nameless my friend the shmolty is far greater than some god
I cant get that shoulder pin down correct. Reflexes say parry, mind says dodge into
Do you have a nobushi guide??
The sensei schmolty wipes blood from Valk's nose but clearly doesn't give a damn.
SCHMOLTY
Sweep the leg. Do you have a problem with that?
Valk wets his pants.
VALK
No Sensei...
** "You're the Best" outro **
Are you gonna be doing Shadow of War gameplay?
I would like to play myself but I' poor and dont have a good enough rig to run it.
+Mr. Fish I may very well
Please so. I am a very big Lord of the Rings fan and I think you are one of the funniest gaming UA-camrs ( for my humor ) as of right now and I don't want to watch some other Koala play it and ruin the experience for me,
You are a bad ass. I was mad at myself when I realized I havent subscribed yet.
The dash forward leap attack with valk is unsafe, when blocked they get a free GB. Like warden's zone attack
She doesn't have a deflect. When she dodges, she blocks in that direction, effectively blocking 2 spots at once. If you block this way, you get the shoulder pin move, but if you miss, you lose all guard for a couple hundred milliseconds and the hit you tried to dodge will most likely hit you.
2 other things you missed is heavy-shieldbash-one light- then trip, and zone attack cancel into GB
is she nerfed? sheild bash isnt knocking people over
Hey what about light "parries"?
How do you... deflect? Pardon my ignorance :(
I used to complain about valk because it was the only hero i had a difficult time beating, then I decided to play her to see what i was up against and what she was capable of. Now i counter mostly everything any valk does.
"Absolutely worthy of High tier fights" oh how wrong you were.
does Valkyrie still have the bleed
I just love the smirk on that sloth.
How do you trip on PS4 I need help
Shmolty I don't even play For Honor but I watch your videos anyway cuz you're actually so funny, love the vids keep it up!
Appreciate ya man
I knew everything except the light attack unlock light attack sweep. I'll see if I can throw that in somewhere.
Finally, a guide on my main.
Can you do a video on how to counter the Vlakyrie? Specifically her sweep
Rorik Savant roll or dodge right
In the midst of her combo?
And also can we see a video on u playing dominion just with valk this time because I think we would like that
At 2:02 did that peacekeeper go fucking flying or am I insane?
Spam is cool and all, but what about Mamajama?
+Spooky Paws Lmao

How do I do the sweep on console

+chubber221 How noble of you to not use an easily dodged attack at your own disadvantage
Shmolty okay but I play on console so they play like fuckin braindead cucumbers
I used to hate Valkyrie like you, but then I learned how to dodge.
But not before taking a spear to the knee.
finnthehu "that s the story of my life"
I love how you reply ur comments
Valkyrie most awesome character. Play her since day one!
If i say everyone knows this does that mean i get an automatic response?
Nobody GBs after shield bashing. I know because it works every time. My record is landing it 4x in a row. Dude REALLY didn’t want to get sweeped.
no rant about PK being banned in tourneys? just askin
