Yeah, Steel fiber, Vitality, and Phsyique (cause that's the main stance I have) are what I'm planning on. Problem is right now at level 3 I don't have the capacity to to use the former two yet (even with the Physique in), so I'm just trying to survive enough to level it up to where I can mod it up.

Valkyr is dreadful early on. Having good armor is limited without a way to recover health which means level 10, or preferably 20, hysteria is required before she works. You also need rage or you can be power starved. Put on a shield mod and play her cautiously through the early levels and she blossoms nicely. Also steel charge and melee weapon add to hysteria damage though it's a while before that really matters.

I level all my frames to 10 by running Lares on Mercury twice (usually hit lvl 6) then a run or two through Apollo on Mercury which usually nets me lvl 10-11. Just bring your best weapons and stick around the group for xp leeching. Rage is going to be a bitch to get unless you can find a friend/clan mate that will let you have it. Napalms are one of the worst mobs in the game and drop rate is really low. That said, seeing it drop was one of the best moments in the game for me. I'll be farming for that mod soon enough.

I've gotten rage from void containers several times. Though, you won't be going there in a new Valkyr. Nevertheless, if you can run voids, it's a potential drop there if you're inclined to search out the treasure rooms.
I'll second the Lares comment. It's a goto spot for me for new or freshly forma'd warframes and weapons. Two defenses of 4 rounds each should easily have you at level 10 and should net you a few T1 keys into the bargain. After that, you can do what you want, though I like a few Apollodorus runs to get things moving along nicely (figure 20-40 minutes depending what your team can handle or seems inclined to).
One thing to consider later on is changing the polarity of Valkyr's aura. Though steel charge is pretty good for her, switching to corrosive projection should be strongly considered if you're doing a lot of endless content. It's better as armor levels get very high. Another options if you don't mind pumping a lot of forma into Valk is to remove the polarity from the aura slot altogether for more aura flexibility (like Nekros). This will mean another forma or two to fit everything in, but might be worth it if you do a lot of stuff not involving grineer at high levels.

You're on the right track - just suffer through a few runs leeching and scrounging kills and you'll get there. I still do Apollodorus runs to level brand new frames. Just stay close to the group (or whoever isn't shooting all over the map at top speed that you can follow easily) and get you some roll-over kill XP. Just a note on frame leveling - killing mobs with a frames power directly results in 100% of the affinity going to your frame. Kills with weapons, for example, will split up the affinity between your frame and weapons. It's not going to be possible to do this all the time, but if you make an effort to get kills using direct damage from your frame you'll notice you'll gain frame levels a bit quicker. Also - 3 affinity booster = 40 plat. Just mentioning.

Go ahead and send me an invite or whatever for the clan when able. Not sure how much time I'll devote to this game but it'll be in rotation for a while for the time being. Names' Merusk same as the last 20 years. ( ) I sent you an invite in theory.

I tend to level up frames on earth... having extra neurodes never hurts. and if you are focused on the xp it's easier to ignore how rare they are.
I'm not sure about forma'ing valks slot to take corrosive projections. Barring luck it will be a while before you get that mod, a while before you need it and then you start to realize that valkyr's killing rate is slow and there's a reason she's not high up on the end-game totem pole (though being able to do revives under fire is nice).

I use Valkyr as a support "Oh shit" frame and to draw fire from others. Plus she's fun.

Second the fun thing. She IS fun.
I wouldn't take the communities' opinion on the meta too seriously. Most don't know their collective ass from a hole in the ground. Valkyr can do very well at high levels in the game, but one has to keep in mind she had very little control outside of just being there. If you're just running around killing stuff, she's fine. If she simply has to be somewhere and stand her ground (interception nodes), she's fine. If she actually has to defend something and keep fire from an objective...not so much.
Valkyr is simple in concept, but there is some depth in how to build her because of how weird hysteria is when it comes to maximizing it.

I'd like to update that atrocious thread OP with everyone's IG name mainly because I want to add whoever is playing. Basically I'm the NSA or something.
Also I should probably fix that FAQ that refers to warframe abilities being mods, they were once long ago...
But yeah Warframe sure has added a ton of shit. I'm in one of my 1-5 week spurts of playing it. So someone screenshot the f13 clan roster and anyone not in the f13 clan post your name here and I'll put it in the first post?

I think it would be easier to have you give us your in game name and we can add you to our friends list personally and/or you join our gaming group in Evil Chickens. We still play daily/nightly.

Everyone was off 2h earlier than I got on at 9:30 EST last night. Ah well, that's what weekends are for.

I've been wimping out early for the past week or two; been kind of hung over from work stress and need more rest. Usually play PST til about 11:30pm or so. Rasix and Trippy are the PST late night cham-pee-ownz though.

Yeah, I'm in a similar boat, although it's because I'm in the middle of packing for a move. Might also be without internet this weekend depending on how the installation goes on friday.

Most likely. Or they'll fuck up and the void trader will come a week early toting along High Voltage (in which case buy me an extra, damnit).

My ingame name is Sloan441. I'm usually around nights and most weekends.
I probably won't be on in the next few days, since my vid card on my main rig packed it in Sunday and I'm waiting on its replacement (may be in today; may not). Probably will be on this weekend, assuming nothing unforeseen crops up in the GPU replacement.

By the way, although we do have a crew of about 4 playing around 9-11 PST, we also have a group of east coast players that hang about between 5-8 PST. Granted, its patchy in spots, so please, join us to fill in the gaps. This game is really meant to be played with others.

That could have been Engels. He was Mirage-Tonkoring, while I was merely solo-Tonkoring.
I managed to knock myself into that tree a few times. Again, this could have been Engels. It's hard to know who did what in the confusion that is tier 4 defense.

Can confirm. I did get lodged on top of the trees twice (who knew it was a flat object up there?) But, in all seriousness, that was why the Tonkor needed the hotfix. You're out front engaging mobs with a shorter range weapon, hoovering loot, or trying to catch a large clump with one of your frames powers -Tonkor users are firing into / toward said group of mobs...flying circus time. And, as Tonkoreostro Master Rasix mentioned, it was T4 Defense which means there are a grip (yeah bro!!1!) of mobs swarming all over each round on static avenues of approach, which increases the chances of being tonkorpulted. I like the weapon a lot and never had the troll hatred (maybe because I stopped PUG'ing due to the clan) but I'm glad it got hotfixed. Besides a certain amount of friendly trolling is expected and accepted amongst regular groups anyway. Multiple 20+ minute missions need to be spiced up. I may slot a max range Valkyr Ripline build specifically for this reason.

PuGs are my specialty given my play times during the week. Never had a single issue with the Tonks. Sure I have been blown through the roof on a few maps, but it never reached the annoyance levels of Limbo's bubble.

As soon as it became apparent this was a pocket bounce pad that anyone could use, you KNEW it was going to get changed. It was going to happen. No question about it.
My personal experience with Tonkor-wielders wasn't too bad, but I can see where a lot of annoyance and frustration was going to come in when you run across tenno with no self-restraint whatsoever (and one look at the forums every time Baro appears shows you just how many of this sort are out there).
Mostly, if I got bounced I considered it an opportunity for a heavy melee "death-from-above!" attack, which is always cool. On the other hand, the jackhole who kept shooting at my Saryn when she was trying to reload quickly got on my last nerve and sparked a miasma pogrom that pretty much left nothing for anyone else to kill. Hey, you don't screw around with the Princess of Poison (armor/rage Saryn builds can be devastatingly effective, even if they're not the current meta).
Still, it was going to happen. Only question was how long until DE got around to dealing with it. At least they didn't let this go on as long as the Synoid Gammacor foolishness.
