Arguably the strongest of the Monster Trio ([[Blood Colonel Edan|Edan]], [[Lord of Pain Valak|Valak]], and [[Code Q-PROTO_00]]), Valak's passive "Scar of Pain" makes him pose a threat to even overgeared players: even with +11 armor, there's no avoiding that he will be able to whittle down your HP from full to none in just a few short combos should he catch you, thanks to his ability to ignore all defense. To add insult to injury, Valak is capable of a full-strength Weapon Break, meaning that not only do his combos soak up all of your HP, but they also cripple your ability to damage him as well. His skills aren't bad at all either, as he has access to Wild Charge and Nuclear. While they aren't as strong as the ones that Reckless Fist can whip out, Valak compensates with his near unlimited mana pool, which permits him to repeatedly whip out these still extremely damaging skills on you with reckless abandon (pardon the pun). Finally, Valak can Roar like Q-PROTO_00 and Edan, which forces you to actively stay in the game with no reprieve from his constant barrage of attacks.

You must keep at least 75 MP at all times to break any combo Valak manages to get you into. The Scar of Pain passive that Valak sports makes his combos into the strongest in the entire game - even one loop from him will do comparable damage to a full combo loop from the average player character. Furthermore, Valak's AI tends to chain his Actives into his combos - and this means plenty of weapon breaks, which makes you useless damage-wise for a full 20 seconds. Thus, it is crucial that you mana break very often - and this strategy hinges upon you not getting into many combos in the first place.
