HOW TO PLAY FREYA
Leap of Faith is your engage: it shields you and knocks enemies airborne on landing. Valkyrie Slash has no cooldown but costs Sacred Orbs — build orbs with basic attacks, then chain slashes to stick to targets. Valkyrie Descent dives in with control immunity and damage reduction and puts you in the Valkyrie state for 12 seconds — save it for the moment the enemy commits their control.
HOW TO PLAY AGAINST FREYA
- Do not waste crowd control during Valkyrie Descent — it does not land then.
