Valkyrie stealth nerfed in Apex Legends Season 13 with new map restrictions Respawn EntertainmentValkyrie has been stealth nerfed in Apex Legends Season 13 by a map change that prevents her from using her jets Passive in \u201cout of bounds\u201d areas. Over the last few seasons, Valkyrie has skyrocketed in popularity and established herself as a meta character in Apex Legends. With the ability to rotate an entire squad, cause AoE disruption with her rockets, and pilot an incredible amount of mobility from her Passive, she\u2019s extremely powerful in the right player\u2019s hands. As a result, a lot of the community was counting on a nerf to the Winger Avenger in the Season 13 update, but Respawn decided to make no direct changes to her kit. Instead, they\u2019ve made adjustments to \u201cout of bounds\u201d locations on every single map, stealth nerfing Valk\u2019s ability to fly into areas that were not intended to be reachable. Valkyrie stealth nerfed in Apex Legends Season 13 While the entirety of Valkyrie\u2019s kit is strong, it\u2019s her VTOL Jets Passive that\u2019s the primary source of her power, as it offers an unrivaled amount of mobility in a gunfight. Not only that, in Season 12, it allowed players to reach overpowered rat spots in out-of-bounds areas, and hover outside the map for extended amounts of time. Well, Respawn has decided that these techniques are unfair and has made major changes to out-of-bounds areas, indirectly nerfing Valk in Saviors. When in out-of-bounds areas in Season 13, players will no longer be able to use, Legend abilities, weapons, consumables, or any active Passives like Valk\u2019s jets. Overall, these changes have been received positively by the community, with countless players describing it as the \u201cperfect\u201d nerf to the Winged Avenger without touching her kit: \u201cIt\u2019s literally the perfect nerf to Valk without actually nerfing her\u201d. Some players even think this adjustment will have a positive impact on the ALGS, where Valk was often used in the final ring to buy as much time as possible in out of bound areas: \u201cThis will def make ALGS final ring fights more interesting\u2026 can\u2019t just rat in the air as Valk anymore on a cliff.\u201d Either way, it\u2019ll be interesting to see whether these changes will be enough to balance Valk and make her less of an \u201coppressive\u201d Legend in Season 13, or whether Respawn will have to nerf her directly later in Saviors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
