Complete guide to Valkyrie including Liberator (Support) and Shining Knight (DPS) builds with Ark Grid variants.
Identity
Liberator - Piety Meter
Liberator Valkyrie generates Piety Meter with Holy Blade (red) and Protection (yellow) skills. Release Light (Z) is a 10% party damage buff for 12 seconds that scales with the Specialization stat. Light of the Faithful (X) heals for 10/20/30% max HP based on how many Release Light casts have occurred since the previous heal, stacking up to 3 times.
Synergy
Attack Power Buff, Light's Vestige (brand)
Party Attack Power Bonus +22%, Damage from Party Members +10%.
Variant Overview
Ark Grid Standard Build
Ark Grid Cores
| Setup | Cores |
|---|---|
| T Skill, recommended | Light Carves Life Break of Dawn Holy Blade's Ashes |
| AP Buff, recommended | Light's Grace Epic of Light Holy Blade's Ashes |
| Identity, weakest | Sacred Oath Pledge of Salvation Holy Blade's Ashes |
Core Priority
Prioritize Holy Blade's Ashes > Break of Dawn > Light Carves Life.
In theory, minimum is 14p on each, but you really want to get to 17p each.
Every combination of Sun/Moon core is viable, however Sacred Oath/Pledge of Salvation (identity core) will always generally be the weakest option. Light's Grace/Epic of Light (AP core) and Light Carves Life/Break of Dawn (T core) are fairly comparable, the breakpoint for T core being stronger is around 45-50% uptime on T skill buff. If you find yourself consistently below that benchmark, then opt for one or both of the AP cores.
Any Sun or Moon Ancient core will outperform all of the relic variants, even if it is the suboptimal core.
Priorities
- Properly cycle main damage buffs, including Attack Power Buff (Seraphic Oath/Seraphic Leap), Brand (Circle of Truth/Truth's Decree), Identity Buff (Release Light), and T-Skill buff (Divine Confirmation).
- Generate Piety Meter by cycling major meter generation skills as often as possible (Requiem Ash, Requiem Rain), as well as gaining meter over time from party buff skills (Seraphic Oath, Divine Confirmation).
- Protect your party from major damage with Shielding skills (Blessing of Salvation, Seraphic Oath) and Damage Reduction skills (Salvation Site).

Ark Passives
- With higher level cooldown gems, you can opt for less swiftness and more specialization (around 100 points per gem level, from a baseline of full 8 gems). This grants slightly stronger identity buffing power (efficiency, not uptime) at the cost of longer cooldowns on utility skills (shields, damage reduction, stagger, counter), lower uptime on Divine Confirmation, and a slightly tighter AP Buff cycle. Only reccommended if you have high level gems and are extremely efficient at upkeeping AP Buff and Brand already (near 100% uptime). Full Swiftness is completely viable and recommended as well, it is just up to your preference.
