Valkyrie

The Valkyrie cards are a series of exclusively female Warrior-Type LIGHT monsters, many of which are named after notable Valkyries and draw heavily upon other elements of [[Wikipedia:Norse Mythology. They are used by Marren Hunter in Saiba Aisu's Yu-Gi-Oh Fan Fic, Days of the Black Apple.

Many of the Valkyries have well-varied and useful effects that activate by switching their battle positions or decreasing their DEF by varying amounts. This versatile style of play lends the Valkyrie Deck unexpected and explosive power with even the most simple of moves. In appearance, each of the Valkyries wears a differently colored set of armor with a matching winged helmet, and each of them tends to carry a distinctive and unique weapon. They are also identified by having the word "Valkyrie" (ワルキューレ) in their names. In their Japanese versions, the names of the Valkyries are hyphenated.

Due to their generally unimpressive ATK scores, the Valkyries tend to depend upon their effects and supporting cards to protect them from harm. Apart from being members of the well-supported Warrior-Type, they also have access to a wide variety of useful Monster, Spell and Trap Card effects, including cards like Valkyrie Spirit Burst, which eliminates the cost for switching a Valkyrie's battle position and destroys an opponent's face-up card, or Valkyrie Sigrdrifa, who can fetch w:c:Yugioh:Equip Spell Cards from the player's Deck to their hand, as well as revive a Level 4 or lower Valkyrie once per turn.
