Einherjar

Once per floor, saves an ally from death — transferring 50% of the Einherjar's remaining HP to that hero instead of letting them fall.

"The fallen do not go quietly. They give us one last gift."

What Changes at Level 10

When a Valkyrie reaches level 10 and you select Einherjar, three things change permanently:

1. Stat bonuses are added to the hero's ability scores immediately and permanently.
2. Active ability is replaced with the subclass variant.
3. Passive effect is unlocked and becomes active in all future runs.

Ability: Valkyrie Base Ability

This subclass uses the base Valkyrie class ability unchanged.

Permanent Stat Bonuses

Einherjar grants the following ability score bonuses on top of the Valkyrie base scores:

• +2 Spirit — adds to the Valkyrie base spirit score
• +1 Vitality — adds to the Valkyrie base vitality score

These bonuses stack with ability score points allocated from levelling. They cannot be removed without retiring the hero.

Passive Effect

Once per floor, intercepts a fatal hit to any ally — transfers 50% of the Einherjar's remaining HP to prevent the death.

This passive is always active during combat — no gear or skill tree investment required to trigger it.

Recommended Skill Tree Themes

Synergy (Empathy, Full House, Inspiration for party buffs), Vitality (Resilience).

Einherjar vs. Death's Herald

Both subclasses unlock at level 10. Compare them to choose:

The choice is permanent — use a Scroll of Divergence consumable to re-select without retiring the hero.

Applying via Archetype

Set an Archetype with Einherjar as the guild standard for Valkyrie — all future recruits of that class will automatically receive this subclass at level 10 without any manual selection.
