Khora vs Valkyr
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Khora if…
- You're sold on Khora's fantasy (Khora is red in whip and claw) more than another Support / Healer option.
- You'd rather build around Venari than live in Valkyr's Paralysis loop.
- You're buying into Khora's passive — the ferocious kavat, Venari, fights by Khora's side and provides her with an a percentage speed….
Pick Valkyr if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Valkyr's vibe — Valkyr was modified into a highly motivated and fearsome killer.
- This slot should feel like Rip Line, Warcry, and Hysteria, not a reskin of Khora's Whipclaw, Ensnare, and Strangledome.
- You're buying into Valkyr's passive — valkyr accumulates Rage when hitting or killing enemies with melee weapons, increasing her Melee….
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Khora for Venari and Venari; lean Valkyr for Paralysis and Paralysis. Mission Usefulness is where they split: Steel Path (Strong vs Excellent — edge Valkyr).

When Each Shines
Khora
- Venari carries mid-mission casts; Strangledome is the density payoff.
- Mod focus stays on match the priority to your main ability so the cast loop doesn't fall over mid-rota.
- Dense spawns where Khora's cast cadence outpaces gun-only clears.
Valkyr
- Paralysis carries mid-mission casts; Hysteria is the density payoff.
- Mod focus stays on match the priority to your main ability so the cast loop doesn't fall over mid-rota.
- Missions that reward committing to Valkyr's full ability loop instead of dabbling.
Mod Scaling Focus
Khora
Match the priority to your main ability — Strength or Duration first for most kits, then Efficiency, then Range.
- STR
- Raises damage and effect potency across Khora’s Strength-scaling abilities.
- DUR
- Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Khora if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
- RNG
- Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Khora is mostly self-buff or exalted weapons.
- EFF
- Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.
Valkyr

Who Should You Pull?
- Venari into Strangledome is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- Weapon damage still matters in your loadouts and Khora is the frame that amplifies that plan.
- You've tried (or watched) Valkyr and the Paralysis fantasy didn't stick.
- Your aura polarity plan was already Vazarin-first — Khora doesn't fight that.
- You're chasing one strong Support main, and Khora is the candidate.
- Paralysis into Hysteria is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- You'd rather specialize hard into Paralysis than stay generic in the Support lane.
- Skipping Khora frees a craft slot — you'd rather finish Valkyr properly.
- Valkyr rates higher on Steel Path holds (Excellent vs Strong) — that rota is where you actually play.
- Inventory space / foundry queue: Valkyr jumps the line over another Khora craft.
