In terms of stats, a user's shadow mode has 100 Health, disables Shields, and can't use healing. While this form is inherently weak, a squad can use this to flush enemies out, force them to waste bullets, or even reduce the risk of using a Respawn Beacon in open bat

VTOL Jets has to be Valkyrie’s most interesting ability, allowing her to fly high into the air - though she flies fairly slowly.

As mentioned, you cannot fire while ascending using the VTOL Jets , and you will ascend fairly slowly - this is nothing like Horizon’s speedy gravity lift from previous seasons.

If you’re a good shot with a sniper, Valkyrie can be taken down with ease, and that’s what you need to be aware of as a Valkyrie player. Staying in the air for too long can be a really bad decision.
