[Draft]  Energy Layer - Valkyrie/Valtryek

==Description==
Valkyrie features a tri-wing design, with each wing sporting a set of two protruding contact points; a larger contact point and a smaller kite-shaped contact point. The centre of the Energy Layer depicts an armored face, with feathers protruding off of the helmet, and a V-shape between them to represent this Layer's namesake, Odin's handmaidens from Norse mythology known as Valkyries.

Due to its aggressive shape and the angles of the points of contact, Valkyrie is one of the best Layers for Attack Combinations, excelling in both Burst and Knock-Out Attack in the Burst Classic FormatValkyrie features four teeth of tall length which allow it to withstand its own recoil, however, like other pre-Xcalibur Layers, the teeth of Valkyrie wear down with use and the Layer must be replaced after heavy use.

==Use in Burst Attack Combinations==
Valkyrie can be put to use in Burst Attack Combination Valkyrie Heavy/Gravity/Yell/Knuckle/Down Revolve/Orbit/Needle/Wave'/Defense. The aggressive shape of Valkyrie combined with the high RPM provided by the heavy weight of Heavy/Gravity/Yell Allows this combination to consistently burst opponents, alternative Knuckle/Down can be used to reduce chances of self bursting.

==Use in Mixed Attack Combinations==
Valkyrie can be used in Mixed Attack Combination Valkyrie Knuckle/Gravity/Heavy/Spread/Yell Accel/Zephyr/Iron/Assault. The aggressive shape Of Valkyrie combined with the OWD provided by Knuckle/Gravity/Heavy/Spread  and aggressive movement provided by Accel/Zephyr/Iron/Assault allows this combination to deliver powerful hits while also having enough stamina to out spin opponents it might not be able to defeat via KO or Burst. Yell can be used to sacrifice OWD for extra weight and RPM.

==Use in Balance Combinations==
Valkyrie can be used in Balance Combination Valkyrie Knuckle/Gravity/Heavy/Spread/Yell Trans'/Zeta/Unite'. This combination uses the mode change gimmick of Zeta'/Trans/Unite' to switch between Mixed attack and Stationary attack allowing it deal with a majority of competitive combinations.

==Use in KO-Attack Combinations==
Valkyrie can be put to use in the Attack Combination Valkyrie Gravity/Heavy/Yell/Force/Limited Xtreme'/Jolt/Xtreme/Hunter'/Quick'Valkyrie's strong Burst and Knock-Out Attack potential is bolstered by the weight of Gravity/Heavy/Yell and Xtreme'/Jolt/Xtreme/Hunter'/Quick' aggressive movement allows it to deliver powerful hitsValkyrie's unworn teeth are capable of withstanding the increased Burst risk of heavy Discs and high friction Tips.

==Valtryek (Hasbro Version)==
Valtryek features a similar design to the original Valkryie Energy Layer however due to its weaker burst resistance, it is outclassed in the Burst Classic Format. However it can still be used for Mixed Attack Combinations if better options are not available.

==Use in Mixed Attack Combinations==
 Valtryek can be used in Mixed Attack Combination Valtryek Knuckle/Gravity/Heavy/Down/Yell Accel/Zephyr/Iron. The aggressive shape Of Valtryek combined with the OWD provided by Knuckle/Gravity/Heavy/Spread/Down  and aggressive movement provided by Accel/Zephyr/Iron allows this combination to deliver powerful hits while also having enough stamina to out spin opponents it might not be able to defeat via KO or Burst. Yell can be used to sacrifice OWD for extra weight and RPM.

==Overall== 
The Takara Tomy Valkyrie is one of the best attack energy layer available in the Burst Classic Format making it a Must-Have for competitive usage. However, due to the fact that its teeth wear down after extensive usage, multiple copies of this layer must be bought. 
The Hasbro version Valtryek has worse burst resistance compared to other competitive attack  energy layers but it is a Welcome- addition for competitive usage.

Stationary attack combos are very popular in burst classic
