Exalted Blade depends on power effiency and your energy pool in order to be active for longer (which means that magnetic procs are quite disrupting)

Hysteria does not need auto-parry because Valkyr is invulnerable to damage and many procs. It also has the life steal. Instead of effiency, however, it depends more on duration - which means that even with low energy, you can still hit 4 and survive a bit longer. Also, when Hysteria expires, highlited enemies will get hit by a bit of what she was supposed to get. Also, general damage mods from your melee increase Hysteria's damage (including syndicate mods; however, it would be lovely to get the AoE blasts as well)

Also, both abilities provide similar degree of good mobility, including the fact that both allow other skills to be used.

Summarizing, both Hysteria and Exalted Blade are powerful; however, because the Excal's rework is more fresh than Valkyr's introduction, I'm afraid that everyone who is obsessed with Valkyr will grab their pitchforks and torches and go to Canada.
