The myth

The valkyries, choosers of the slain, are Odin's servants who decide who falls in battle and carry the chosen to Valhöll, where they also pour mead for the warriors. Poems and sagas give them names such as Hildr and Skögul, and some heroines, like Brynhildr, are valkyries. Vígríðr is the plain a hundred leagues on each side where gods and giants will meet at Ragnarök, according to Vafþrúðnismál. The Valkyrie of Vigrid is a MYTHENOR creation joining the two images: the chooser at the final battle.

Why it has this power

A level 5 Uncommon with ATK 1800 and DEF 1600, a solid warrior for mid-duel. The Light element comes from Odin's chosen ones, who lead heroes to the golden hall. Sun and Hammer are the warriors' constellations. She shines even brighter in the Halls of Valhöll, which empower Warriors.

Did you know

Valkyrie comes from Old Norse valkyrja, from valr, the battle-slain, and kjósa, to choose.
