The Best Guide to Run Goddess Team Lineup & Valkyrie Tier List

The core gameplay of Run Goddess is to cultivate Valkyries and use the synergy between different Valkyries to defeat enemies or achieve a higher ranking. There are some recommended lineups in the game, which provide a good idea, that is, it is not necessarily the case that the rarer the Valkyries, the more powerful they are. Valkyries of different rarities can also produce magical effects through combination. Of course, if the single buff data is considered, there is indeed a certain gap between different tiers. This guide lists the recommended team lineups and Valkyrie tiers.

Recommended Run Goddess Team Lineups

When you start the game, there is only one "Beginner Style" lineup at the early stage. As your character (Dawn Bringer) promotes and changes classes, more lineups will be unlocked.

You can receive corresponding rewards for obtaining Valkyries in the recommended lineups. You can receive 50 gems for each Valkyrie collected, that is, a maximum of 200 per team. If there are repeated Valkyries in different lineups, you can receive gems repeatedly. For example, if you get Emily and she's in three recommended lineups, you can get her 50 gems bonus once in each lineup (150 gems in total).

How to Obtain Valkyries?

• SP Valkyries: Rika and Hecate can only be obtained from specific exclusive events. Yonai can be acquired through the Dimensional Corridor.
• UR Valkyries: You can receive Diva freely from the Limited-Time Pack. After triggering this pack, there will be generous rewards for logging in for 3 days. Among them, you can get this Valkyrie on the 2nd day of logging in. In addition, you also have the opportunity to obtain Valkyrie Diva through recruitment. Except for Diva, other UR Valkyries can only be obtained through the exclusive event wheel.
• SSR Valkyries: You can use the "Valkyrie Recruitment Ticket" to recruit them. In particular, Aurora can be unlocked freely after you have earned all Dr.'s antidotes to rescue her. You can get all antidotes after you pass the main stage 5-15.
• SR Valkyries: Entering the early game introductory stage will directly give you two SR Valkyries, Emily and Miranda. Nicole and Elia still need to be obtained through recruitment.

In summary, the event wheel and Valkyries recruitment are the main ways to get Valkyries.

Valkyrie Recruitment Tickets can be obtained from daily activity rewards and some events. Duplicate Valkyries will be converted into 10 Valkyrie shards of the same Valkyrie, which is the crucial material for Valkyries' star upgrading.
