they can get around the valkyrie UI (they cant move while they fire) but rather these pros can make them backfire, so they would shoot the missiles, and then move back while doing it. this is like really critical, since against mutas valks cant be too far out because of scourges.. now, anyone know how its done? | ||

I've only seen Fantasy play around with valkyries and I've never seen him able to do a moving shot with one edit: holy shit that's awesome if that can be done all the time | ||

I don't remember who he was playing but it was on Holy World or Byzantium 3 =\ The valk was literally shooting backwards while moving though It was vs Type-B. I think fw or someone took a picture and screenshotted it too but I can't find atm. | ||

I suggest you also spam right click after patrol. Not necessary but decreases the occasional bugout of the valk. Valkyrie Micro replay that's a rep of me doing the move a few times you still don't have control over the valk for about 1/2 a sec after it moves backward and the valk will always move a set distance backwards so patrolling further backward does nothing | ||

now you can use valks to snipe ovies like people use mutas to snipe scvs except you'll need 5 valks to kill ovies in 2 hits each. | ||

Also the valkyrie still decelerates after moving a little bit towards the point where you told it to patrol so you can't really deftly dodge scourge or anything  | ||

As soon as you get into range, patrol in the opposite direction, and they turn around and fire, and move a little bit away. That's the move you see fantasy's valkyries do in that vid at 11:36, so maybe that's all there is to it? I tested it too, and found that it worked with Patrol command, but you cannot do directly opposite direction. Here's example how I found it worked, It worked like a triangle pattern. Imagine the valkyrie's nose is the tip of the triangle. Valkyrie going -->>> X N-------<Valkyrie--> X When in range and in motion, Patrol command at the either one of the X position. This will make it turn and shoot at the same time. If you patrol command at the N position, the valkyrie will go valknuts. Bigger valkyrie fleet, the wider the triangle for it to work. Means patrol further at the angle. | ||
