The '''Valkyrie''' is an explosive javelin designed and manufactured by [[Rasputin]] as a weapon for [[Guardian]] forces. It is a devastating weapon, with enough power to slay [[Xol|gods]].

==Gameplay==
The Valkyrie is a powerful Relic weapon encountered in various activities from the ''[[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]]'' expansion. Like other relics, picking it up makes the player's perspective move to third person. The "fire" button lets the player throw the javelin, which slightly homes in on targets and explodes on impact, dealing devastating [[Solar]] damage. Using the "melee" button makes the player dive to the ground, releasing a powerful shockwave on impact. [[Grenade]]s can still be used, but activating a [[Super]] or a [[Class Ability]] will drop the weapon.

The Valkyrie is used in various points in the expansion's story, most notably during the fight against Xol in the [[Will of the Thousands]] [[Mission]] and [[Strike]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - [[Will of the Thousands]]''</ref>, where it is the quickest way to deal with the [[Worm God]]. Rasputin also provides Valkyries during the [[Escalation Protocol]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - [[Escalation Protocol]]''</ref> activity and the Warsat Down [[Public Event]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'': ''[[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - [[Warsat Down]] [[Public Event]]''</ref> During [[Season of the Worthy]], the Valkyrie could be used to defend the [[Seraph Tower]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - [[Seraph Tower]] [[Public Event]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The Valkyrie javelin is named after the figures in Norse mythology of the same name. A valkyrie (/vælˈkɪəri, -ˈkaɪri, vɑːl-, ˈvælkəri/; from Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle, the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla. 
*A [[Light]] reconstruction of the Valkyrie appears in the Valkyrian Impaler [[Finisher]].
*The Valkyrie was the first spear-type Relic. This architype would be used again for the [[Synaptic Spear]] and the [[Behemoth]] [[Titan (class)|Titan's]] Diamond Spear.
