How to play with Valhein in Arena of Valor: tips, build and essentials

There are several heroes in Arena of Valor , but none are as well known as Valhein. After all, it is with the demon hunter that all Challengers start playing, learning the various tutorials with this heroic character. But it is also frequent that players become fans of this Shooter and want to learn how to do well with him. Here, you will learn everything about the skills, build, items and Arcana essential to master with Valhein!

Discover the skills of the demon hunter

Passive: Pocket Gladius

Each third normal Valhein attack is transformed into a gladius with an additional random effect. This adds up to 1 Hunter buff stack, which increases Movement Speed ??by 10% and can be stacked up to 5 times.

Bloody Hunt

The hero hurls a red gladius to a target and his nearby enemies, being very useful in team combat. The magic damage dealt is 190 (+153) and this ability also grants 1 stacks to the Hunter buff.

Deadly Curse

With this ability, Valhein hurls a golden gladius that not only deals 150 (+98) magic damage but also stuns the target. Bloody Hunt grants the Hunter buff 1 stack and is a good ability to start a fight with multiple enemies.

Ultimate: Rain of Bullets

Valhein shows that he is a true demon hunter with this ability. The hero fires 6 silver bullets at once, each dealing 200 magic damage (+84). Each time Valhein hits the target, his Attack Speed ??is increased by 8% and his Movement Speed ??is increased by 10% for 3 seconds. If you hit the same target with multiple bullets, the following attacks deal 40% of the initial damage.

Tips for doing well with Valhein

One of the best strategies to easily kill an enemy is with the combination of Deadly Curse and Bullet Rain. Stun your opponent with Deadly Curse, get up close and fire Bullet Rain - the closer you are to the enemy, the more you guarantee that he will be hit by all the bullets.
Valhein can be very dangerous in battle, but he is not a hero with much resistance. This means that you have to know when to leave at the right time or you will easily be eliminated by stronger ones. As a sniper, take full advantage of the distance Valhein can reach opponents and always know how to escape before they start a counterattack.
If you choose Valhein, then you choose to always be attacking. This hero has abilities that reward constant attack, granting increases in his Movement Speed. Keep that in mind and always look for a new target.

How to progress the skill build

The progression of Valhein's skills is quite simple to learn. We recommend that whenever you have the chance, level up on the Bloody Hunt and Bullet Rain skills. If in doubt between leveling Deadly Curse or Bloody Hunt, always choose the Hunt. Never pass up the chance to level up with your ultimate (Rain of Bullets), especially during the early stages.

The equipment build of each hero is something that can be customized in several ways, always taking your playing style as a point of view. But we leave you a hint of what are the recommended items to unlock the potential of Valhein.
