Key Metrics

	Run	ACD	Heat
	Baseline	52.7	0
	Optimized	52.7	0
	Redline	52.7	0

Test Results

The VLK-QA has very weak baseline damage output with almost no opportunity to optimize (+0 versus baseline). This Valkyrie variant rarely builds up heat and is extremely easy to manage.

Key Metrics

	Damage/Hit	4.8
	Critical Hits	1.3 per Game
	Time to Kill	28.3 Turns

Test Results

The VLK-QA deals just below average damage per hit, rarely generates a critical chance and lacks the capability to bring down targets.

Key Metrics

	Armor Coverage	91.4%
	Survival Rate	32.6%
	Destruction Rate	67.4%

Test Results

This configuration of the Valkyrie has heavy armor coverage that is vulnerable on the rear torso and is over spec on the side torsos. The VLK-QA has below average survivability and attributes a significant number of deaths to ammo explosions.
