Ahem....shields take 100% damage from all sources and 200% from cold damage. With her armor and a max rank steel fibre she reduces all incoming damage down to 19.23% of the original damage, which makes her tanky as fawk.

If you were to put a max vitality and max steel fibre, you  could blast things for days even if your shields go down, add a rejuvination aura and you'll be good or maybe even equilibrium... Remember that shields do actually recharge, and that's the good thing about them, not the amount you have, which means that 1 shot might lower your shields down, but usually within the time frame of that shot you can go invincible using Hysteria, you only need enough shields to react to suprise attacks and enemies heading your way, at that point you can use hysteria to rip through them or take cover and shoot.

I personally have quick thinking, rage and vitality on my Nova, I'm thinking of trying it on Valkyr, but with this much armor I feel like it would be a waste not to turn her into a damage sponge.

I think it would be wise to go for maximizing damage or duration, or both with Valkyr.
