==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]], Activision Blizzard, [[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]], Activision Blizzard, [[Escalation Protocol]]''</ref> activity and the Warsat Down [[Public Event]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'': ''[[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, Warsat Down [[Public Event]]''</ref>. During [[Season of the Worthy]], the Valkyrie could be used to defend the [[Seraph Towers]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]]'', ''[[Seraph Towers]] [[Public Event]]''</ref>


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Valkyrie javelin is named after the same figures in Norse mythology. 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.

*This weapon plays a critical role throughout the ''[[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]]'' campaign.
*The Valkyrie is similar to the [[Ascendant Sword]] or [[Cleaver]] pick-up weapons, in that its ammo slowly drains over time.
