Valkyries are powerful female warriors of Schicksal who have high Honkai resistance and who either have natural or artificial stigmata. Due to the constant exposure to the volatile Honkai energy and Honkai Beasts, many Valkyries are at risk of losing their lives not only in battle but due to the possible Honkai cascade as well, which is a phenomenon when a human with mild adaptability is corrupted by the Honkai and turns into a zombie, mindlessly seeking to destroy humanity.[1][2]

Although Honkai adaptability is uncommon in men, it can happen in rare cases and these men can become the Chevalier of Schicksal.

The Valkyries are ordered into ranks: S, A, B, C and D, with S being assigned only to the most powerful Valkyries, Valkyries with rank B and higher being deployed to frontlines and D being used for Valkyries who stay in the HQ and do chores, support and logistic duties far from real fighting.[3] Valkyries are also grouped in squads for missions.

The title of Paladin, "the Overseer's chosen", also exists as the personal guard of the Schicksal Overseer and Schicksal HQ.[4] Together they form Overseer's Guards with the lowest ranked Paladin to date being Theresa Apocalypse as she became a Paladin while still at a B-rank.[5]

St. Freya is a school for Valkyries founded by a former Valkyrie Theresa Apocalypse who was originally its principal. The idea originally belonged to Cecilia Schariac who was Theresa's friend.

※ In the game, the term Valkyrie/Valkyrja applies to all battlesuits, including those of characters that do not belong to Schicksal, such as Seele Vollerei or Elysia.
