Let's talk a bit about Valentine, a Skullgirls character that can be key in many team compositions, but not for her cooperative style - instead, as a main character and damage dealer. Keep on reading our Skullgirls Valentine guide to learn everything there is to know about her! 

Skullgirls Valentine Overview

Valentine is a rather unique character in Skullgirls, simply because she's able to offer some support to allies, even though she doesn't exactly need any allies. It's good to use her as a damage dealer and semi-support too, since she can offer some regen and other interesting buffs.

Most of the time, Valentine is a Lead character on any given team, because she's just that useful. Her kit is fairly simple, as her close-range combat can be used against many other short-range fighters. She can also be a good gap closer to some opponents since CC and occasional regen can deem the opponents useless in certain situations. 

Playstyle

When you're playing as Valentine, you want to be the main damage dealer and swap with the other teammates whenever the opponent is trying to pull a move, so as to avoid any incoming damage. She will most likely always be the main source of damage and CC, since her abilities allow her to deal quite a lot of raw damage and debuffs.

The best combos for Skullgirls Valentine

  • Swipe towards the opponent -> Attack -> Swipe up -> Tap the screen while the enemy is airborne for the aerial attack -> Trip the opponent.
  • Make sure to use her skills whenever you can in order to disable the opponent for as long as possible. 

Types

There are currently 12 variants to Valentine in Skullgirls. Each one has a different type and ability, but all of them have a fairly similar playstyle and kit. Let's check them out!
