^ Was the comment in reply to the OP or the Paralysis comment??

Valkyr has a Single Target attack :Ripline A self/team buff and enemy slow: WarCry (have not tested Overextended to see if enemy speed up is possible) An AoE parry/Damage ability: Paralysis (Repurposed Shields as a damage component) And a Melee life-steal ability: Hysteria

Hysteria while active renders all durability stats as 'irrelevant'.

A Valkyr with just base Health/Shields/Armor but with a perma Hysteria build has the same survival rate as a Valkyr with Max Redirection, Vitality, Vigor, and Steel Fiber but also using a perma Hysteria. (Unless Stalker or Zanuka...ability cancel/dispel)

For Crowd Control WarCry-slow plus Paralysis stagger/stun can provide some CC. More so than Heavy Impact+High Ripline/Directional-melee.
