Teaming up with Fighters with strong initiation like Khaleed and Yu Zhong can simultaneously enhance the entire team's combat potential.
Valir is countered by agile Assassins like Lancelot and Fanny because they can easily evade his 1st Skill.
Level up in this order when playing Valir:
Searing Torrent
Ashing
Burst Fireball
Heir to Fire Throat, fire mage.
Valir's skills apply a stack of Ablaze to enemies hit, dealing them Magic Damage equal to 1 (+0.2% Total Magic Power)% of their Max HP per second for 3s. At 3 stacks, the fire detonates, dealing Magic Damage equal to 5 (+1% Total Magic Power)% of the target's Max HP to the enemy and stunning them for 1s (the same target can only be stunned by Valir's skills once every 7s.)
Valir launches a fireball that explodes upon hitting the first target, dealing 235 (+80% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and slowing them by 30% for 1s. The lingering flame on the ground will explode after 1s, dealing 118 (+40% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. Valir recharges 1 fireball every 9s and can hold up to 2 fireball charges. Hitting an enemy hero or Legend Creep with this skill will immediately restore a fireball charge, while hitting a Minion will restore 4s of the recharge time. Once enhanced by Vengeance Flame, the cast range of Burst Fireball increases by 30%.
Valir unleashes a torrent of flames in the target direction, dealing 200 (+60% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies hit and knocking them to the end of its path. Vengeance Flame: The torrent forms a firewall at the end of its path that lasts 4s and deals 100 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to nearby enemies per second. Enemies hit by the torrent or the firewall are slowed by 25% for 1s.
Valir removes all existing debuffs on him, gains 40% Movement Speed that decays over 3s, and conjures 4 Vengeance Flames, enhancing Burst Fireball and Searing Torrent for 9s.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 1 → Skill 2.

In teamfights, activate Valir's Ultimate to enhance his skills, then blast the enemy with his 1st Skill. If the enemy tries to get close, use his 2nd Skill to push them away, and hit them with his 1st Skill for high damage.
→
→
In the laning phase, harass enemies with Valir's 1st Skill until their HP is low, then cast his 2nd Skill to push them back and follow up immediately with his 1st Skill for burst damage.

Demon Boots
Glowing Wand
Ice Queen Wand
Concentrated Energy
Winter Crown
Immortality
That build focuses on maximizing Valir's burst damage and survivability. Let's break down the key equipment choices: - Demon Boots are generally preferred for their mana regeneration, Arcane Boots offer movement speed, which can be valuable for positioning and kiting, especially if the enemy team lacks significant hard crowd control. The mana issue is mitigated by other items in this build. - Glowing Wand: This is a core item for Valir. Its magic power boost significantly increases his damage, and the burn effect synergizes perfectly with his skills, amplifying his damage over time. - Ice Queen Wand: Another crucial item, it provides additional magic power, magic lifesteal (important for sustain), and a slow effect, enhancing both his damage and control capabilities. The slow helps to keep enemies within range for his skill shots. - Concentrated Energy: This item provides a substantial boost to magic power, further increasing Valir's damage output. It's a solid choice for maximizing his burst potential. - Winter Crown: This item greatly increases his magic power and mana. Because of the high mana cost of his abilities, this item is crucial to keep Valir active for longer durations. - Immortality: This is a defensive item that provides a second chance after being eliminated. It's crucial for Valir's survivability, as he is quite vulnerable to burst damage. Why this build? This build prioritizes maximizing Valir's damage output while providing enough survivability to stay in fights longer. The combination of magic power, mana, and a defensive item like Immortality makes him a threat throughout the game. However, it's important to remember that optimal builds are highly dependent on the enemy team composition and your playstyle. Adjustments might be needed depending on the specific match.

Battle Spell. Valir's Flicker Spell: Techniques and Tips Short Explanation - Mobility: Valir lacks mobility skills, so Flicker provides a short-range teleport to escape sticky situations or engage enemies. - CC Break: It can break out of crowd control effects, allowing Valir to reposition and continue fighting. - Knockback Synergy: Valir's Skill 2 (Searing Torrent) knocks enemies back. Combining this with Flicker can create a powerful pushback effect, disrupting enemy formations or pushing them away from vulnerable teammates. Techniques and Tips 1. Escape Sticky Situations: Use Flicker to quickly escape from enemies trying to chase or trap you. 2. Engage and Disrupt: Flicker can close the gap between Valir and his target, initiating a burst combo. 3. Strategic Positioning: Flicker helps Valir stay safe in the backline during team fights, avoiding being targeted by frontliners. 4. Combo Synergy: Flicker creates devastating combos. For example, use Skill 2 (Searing Torrent) to knock back enemies, then Flicker to reposition and follow up with Skill 1 (Burst Fireball) and ultimate (Vengeance Flame) for maximum burst damage. By utilizing Flicker effectively, Valir can overcome his mobility limitations and play a crucial role in both laning and team fights.
