Valkyr was modified into a highly motivated and fearsome killer. She is adept at dealing damage and surviving. Her battle cry strikes terror into all who hear it.

This is Valkyr, the tormented, the experiment.

Valkyr was crafted from torment, Tenno. Take control of her rage.

Release Date: November 20th, 2013

Valkyr is a berserker-themed Warframe. Driven by feral rage, her attacks rend her prey with fury and ferociousness, while her tortured cries break the imposing silence of the Tenno presence. Valkyr was unleashed in Update 11.0 (2013-11-20).

Previously having thrived among the Tenno in her original Gersemi form, Valkyr is known for her capture and subsequent torment at the hands of Alad V. The obsessed Corpus scientist brought Valkyr to his lab on Jupiter where she was restrained and subjected to harsh experiments, including her skin being flayed. This mad science would greatly expand the Corpus' knowledge of Warframe design, and consequentially left Valkyr visibly scarred and of course, maddened. Upon comparing with Gersemi, it can be seen that Alad V has added forearm-gauntlets/restraints relating to the claws in her fourth ability Hysteria. This addition may have been inspired by the armor on her original Prime Design.

Valkyr's skin was used to coat the Zanuka prototype, Alad V's companion fighting machine made of parts from several warframes.

Valkyr's abilities reflect her madness, accompanied by cries of anguish. It is not confirmed whether Gersemi shared these cries, though it is likely, since her prime version does due to torture at Orokin hands. The additional madness from her torture may have left the original Valkyr less tenno-tamed than she was as Gersemi.

Notes

  • Valkyr sports the third highest armor of all Warframes, behind  Lavos and  Valkyr Prime.

Trivia

  • "Valkyr" is derived from Valkyrie. According to Norse mythology, the Valkyries were a host of divine creatures in service of the gods that brought the "chosen" among the fallen up to Valhalla (a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard where the gods resided). It was generally believed that dying in battle with your honor intact was a sure way of being chosen.
    • This is further reinforced by her Kara Helmet and her Gersemi Skin, both of their names having ties to Norse mythology.
  • Thematically, Valkyr's design was inspired largely by felines:
    • Valkyr has visible claws on both her hands and feet, and  Hysteria gives her an additional set of claws on her hands which accents the ability's wild, feral nature.
    • Her Bastet Helmet, is named after Bastet, the Egyptian Goddess of Home and Family, who was commonly depicted with a cat's head.
    • Her Passive – added knockdown recovery bonus and immunity to heavy landings – belie a feline's agility.
    • A now-patched bug unintentionally caused any equipped Whip to extend while  Hysteria was active, giving the appearance of a tail.
  • She is the second female Warframe whose base stats defy a trend of fragility; despite having low shields she has the highest armor value of all the Warframes.
  • Both her Warframe Profile video and in-game description verify that she was experimented on and used for the Zanuka Project.
  • Before Update 23.0 (2018-06-15), Valkyr was the only Warframe which has human-like audible cries, voiced by Digital Extremes community coordinator, Megan Everett.
  • Valkyr is the second Warframe to replace Alloy Plates with Circuits in her construction, following  Saryn.
  • Valkyr is one of four Warframes, inclusive of herself,  Chroma,  Nidus and  Nekros, to have a special Auxiliary attachment slot which is used for Valkyr's Bonds and Valkyr Prime's Chordalla Prime accessory.
  • Valkyr's prominent orange color may be a reference to the orange prison suit some prisoners wear when held in custody.
