It masterfully fuses survival mechanics with rich RPG components, creating a fresh experience for enthusiasts of either genre. Learn magical abilities and use them in real-time combat sequences that challenge your reflexes and tactics! This beginner's guide covers essential game modes and mechanics every player should know. Let’s get started!

Understanding the Combat Mechanics of VALHALLA SURVIVAL

VALHALLA SURVIVAL centers on roguelike gameplay where players only control their character’s movement. Its approach sets it apart from many survival RPGs—players can even gear up and level up characters outside the main game. After you pick your character and weapon, click play to enter story stages. These escalate in difficulty, testing your survival skills more as you advance. Initially, you encounter weaker foes that don’t inflict heavy damage, but don’t grow overconfident. Your movement and evasion skills face relentless trials through mini-bosses and bosses.

You direct your character’s movement by tapping anywhere on the screen—there’s no fixed virtual joystick. Though the game is visually stunning to watch and play, skill animations may occasionally take time to render. Your character advances by gathering blue EXP crystals from defeated enemies. Green crystals, meanwhile, restore lost health upon collection.

Players can obtain them directly after completing campaign stage 1-4 via in-game purchases. Each character has distinct traits that complement the skills they unlock in battle. You can also level up owned characters directly and switch between them freely, regardless of class. This design removes the need to stick with a single class—you can seamlessly swap among various characters before a match begins. Leveling up boosts base stats like Attack, Defense, and movement speed while also enhancing ability quality.

Weapons

Weapons are vital to your survival journey in Valhalla. The game encourages players to experiment with unique builds through the weapons they equip. Not every character can use all weapons—some are limited by class or playstyle. For example, the melee warrior Asheran can’t wield bows. However, all classes and characters have multiple weapon options, which can be paired with other gear such as armor and chestplates.

Weapons also impart their own stats to improve damage, survivability, and mobility. They come in various rarities and drop as loot from mini-bosses and main bosses. As you tackle higher difficulty stages, weapon drops become more impressive and of superior quality.
