Valkyr indeed has a trully powerful Endgame. The "constant energy drain" is really not annoying at all, specially with Valkyr Prime and her kinda great energy pool. This is no big deal anyway, her 4th ability is way better like that, even though it got nerfed.

"no scalable ability" --> Damage is affected by Ability Strength, the Melee Combo Counter and most mods. So basically it deals a shit ton of base dammages (her slide attack is just beyond insane at killing groups of well-armored ennemies), and scales with mods and combo counter. I'd call that powerful, even in endgame.And if you ever have any trouble killing your foes, you also have your 2nd ability which can quite easily reach more than 100% bonus Attack Speed. Should be enough to sustain a high DPS and to increase your combo counter rapidly.

She may not be one of the most powerful lategame frame, chiefly because she's a solo frame (if you don't take into account the fact that her second ability applies to nearby allies), so yeah it might not be as useful as a team-based frame. However, she's definitely nothing but a huge threat for your ennemies during lategame. Unkillable AoE insane dammages dealer ? I'd say it's pretty damn good anyday of the week.

Came from a valkyr main, who also played a lot of excalibur ;) This frame is a beast, maybe you didn't mod her or your melee weapon well enough to think not.
