The Valkyrie | |

Where it Appears | Weaknesses |
Collapsed Highway | Thunder |
Because The Valkyrie mostly stays in the air and out of reach, it'll be hard for most characters except Barret to reach him. Be sure to combo Barret's weapon with Elemental Materia and Lightning Materia so his shots will hit for increased damage.
