What kind of playstyle do you have?

Originally posted by KZAREKH: Valkyrie is a great defender who will allow you to learn R6's gameplay and maps more easily. Though her SMG has moderate damage, it has almost no recoil. Moreover, her black eye cams are pretty discreet - if you avoid pinging the opponent with it - and provide you and your team helpful intel if placed at key locations: outside for example.

I would agree with this! I don't play Valk much myself (I probably should) but she's a great OP for all the reasons you listed. You can get really cheeky with Valk your cam placements!
