Generally speaking, Valak has similar catches to Edan, relying on his extreme speed to catch. As with Edan, do not clash with him head on - trying to clash his ^z, for instance, is a futile task considering his 30% attack speed bestowing a far greater recovery pace than whatever you can dish out. Rather, focus on intercepting his Shadow Strafes, and catching him on a horizontal basis. Zone him to avoid his superior melee range, and attack in between intervals - Valak is highly aggressive and will move forward to close distances, providing you with an opportunity to intercept. Valak has a particular weakness from attacks that come from above, as well, so make full use of platforms to drop down on him. | Generally speaking, Valak has similar catches to Edan, relying on his extreme speed to catch.

Charged Bolt knocks down very easily; and for Valak's other skills, he tends to use them as catches when you are running away from him. Wild Charge is the major threat damage-wise here; it can deal some fairly severe damage to you if he manages to hit with it, and comes out of virtually nowhere. However, keep close at hand to Valak, and you should be seeing very few skills at all. | ||
