Watch out, Valheim Vikings. You don't have to be just a Viking anymore, if you're looking for a new way to play the co-op survival sandbox, let me introduce you to a new character class.

The Valheim Legend mod adds six different character classes to Valheim, each with three special abilities. The Ranger, for example, has a "power shot" ability that buffs stealth, increases speed while crouching, and provides additional damage on the next few ranged attacks. In addition, the ranger can summon a wolf companion for a short time. Mages, on the other hand, can throw fireballs as ranged attacks, summon ice shields that freeze enemies in melee range for damage, and rain meteo strikes on a targeted area. [Also, the Valkyrie class with two special attacks and blocking buffs, the Berserker class with rage abilities and dash attacks, the Druid who can summon vines from the ground and use them as projectiles (like the Elder's ability), the Shard who can quickly restore stamina, buff herself and her allies, and poison and fire attacks.

The classes and full capabilities of the Valkyrie Legends are as follows:

Valkyrie 1. Bulwark - Buff: gives a block bonus to blocked attacks and a damage reduction effect to the caster. 2. Stagger - Attack: instantly staggers all enemies around the Valkyrie. 3. Leap - Attack: leaps into the air and crashes down with splash damage to the point of impact

Ranger1. Shadow Stalk - Buff: significantly reduces the ranger's noise and visibility, increases movement speed while crouching, and gives a short (5 second) burst speed Grants a short (5 second) burst of speed. 2. 2. Summon Wolf - Pet: Summons a wolf companion for a limited time. 3. Powershot - Buff: Increases the speed and attack power of your next few ranged attacks

Berserker 1. Rage - Buff: Sacrifices health periodically to gain movement speed, physical attack power, continuous regeneration of stamina, and life taps for a portion of damage dealt. 2. Execute - Buff: Increases the attack power of the next few melee attacks. Dash - Attack: Dash forward to attack a passing enemy. Fireball - Attack: fires a fireball that deals splash damage and burns. 2. 2. Frost Nova - Attack: creates a burst of ice around the caster, damaging and freezing enemies. 3. Meteor - Channeling Attack: Use this ability to cause a meteor to fall and attack an area. The channeling time (stamina expended) determines the number of meteors

Druid1. Regeneration - Heal: briefly restores the health of the caster and all nearby players. Root Defender - Summon: Grows friendly roots around the caster and attacks nearby enemies. 3. Vines - Channeled Attack: periodically fires piercing vine projectiles

Shaman1. Enrage - Buff: increases movement speed and stamina of the caster and nearby allies. 2. 2. Shell - Buff: Reduces elemental (poison, fire, ice, etc.) damage and applies a DoT of Spirit damage to the caster and all allied attacks. 3. Spirit Shock - Attack: deals Spirit damage to a range centered on the caster and applies a Spirit DoT to enemies hit

All of this, plus five new skills that enhance these new character classes. Once you install Valheim Legends, you choose your character class in an interesting way. Sacrifice an item at the altar in Eiktia and select the class you wish to play. Here is what you need for each class:

This seems like a really great way to start a new game of Valheim. Also, as with many Valheim mods, the useful BepInExPack mod must be installed and working in order to use Valheim Legend. This mod can be found at Nexus Mods.
