Overview

Valkenhayn is a novel gentleman: polite and courteous in all situations. Being a butler, he is extremely devoted to Rachel and does whatever he can to assist and protect her. His demeanor, however, belies a savage side which is only seen during battle or when he is pushed to the brink of his anger. He uses a fighting style that, while awe-inspiring, is unbelievably brutal, utilizing slashing attacks and blows so powerful they look like they are intended to break the enemy's bones.

Drive: Werewolf

Valkenhayn transforms into a wolf. He is more agile in this form and gains a completely new moveset. You will need to be about to move flexibly in both human form and wolf form as this is a key element in his game. While it may be difficult at first, the reward for taking such time to learn this character will transform you into a fearsome player. While he is in the werewolf form, the purple bar above your heat gauge will slowly deplete. Whilst, you are in human form, the gauge will slowly, but note it only swhen you are on the ground and not in the air. If the gauge reaches 0, you will be disabled from transforming until the gauge refills to the max again. In addition to this, 1-9D will allow the wolf to dash in that direction and this will deplete the gauge faster. 5D will revert you to human form. It is important to conserve your wolf gauge for optimal pressure and look for very minimal methods of depleting meter whilst dealing damage. The gauge will slowly refill as Valkenhayn is on the ground, but not in the air. You also cannot block in wolf form, so it is mandatory you are constantly moving around to make it very difficult for the opponent to land a hit.


Overdrive: Endless Wolf

Cannot be activated in wolf form. During Endless Wolf, Valkenhayn gains access to an unlimited supply of wolf meter for the duration, and it will rapidly restore if fully depleted. In addition to this, w[j.214A/B/C] have drastically increased hitstun, and j.C becomes drive/wolf cancellable. Furthermore, rasen wolf and wolf cannons will have faster startup.


Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Wolf form provides flexible movement, fantastic pressure & mixup.
  • Great normals.
  • Wolf form provides a strong neutral game which can induce opponents to make bad decisions.
  • Very good corner carry
  • Below average health
  • The only way to safely extend pressure is through wolf meter usage, meaning you can't keep an opponent blocking for very long without compromising your neutral game.
  • Poor defensive options.
  • Wolf form can be difficult to use, leading to a higher level of execution compared to most characters.
