Valk is an NPC in PHIGHTING!. He is one half of the idol group Flipside and works alongside his brother Dom.

Overview

Valk appears in PHIGHTING! as one of the two idols alongside his brother. Together, the two of them represent one of two opposing sides in a Phestival, announce Multiplier Matches to the player, and have their own special rounds. They additionally produce and sing in-universe music such as THE FLIPSIDE and SEE YOU ON. While they cannot be normally seen as in-person NPCs within PHIGHTING!, they sometimes appear in Crossroads during Phestivals in order to allow players to pick their team.

Against his brother, Valk has represented the Phestival teams Fried, Vanilla, Sun, Bat, Rave, Violets, Ice Cream, Possessed and Dove. Out of ten Phestivals so far, his representing teams have won four of them.

In-Game Event

At One Minute Left, there will be a chance for Valk's event to occur, signaled by his Microphone appearing in the center of the map, and the screen being tinted yellow. During the event, Valk will periodically fire a yellow blast from the center of the map. The blast knocks all players away from the center, heals all players, and gives all players a 100% Haste buff.

• Valk's healing grants only Health points, no Shield.

Personality

Compared to his brother, Valk is a positive and upbeat individual. He almost always refer to the player with a sense of familiarity, despite his celebrity status. He generally expresses his opinions with hyperbole, such as when he says ice cream is '13x better' than popsicles. He enjoys both the colour and the flower violets, and thinks that doves are pretty. He doesn't particularly like chocolate and can only tolerate the taste somewhat. His favourite region is Playground. He regularly reads and gets flustered by his fan mail, much to his brother's annoyance. Though he is generally friendly, he can be pushy when asking if the player has bought his new album.

• Valk is the shortest known character in PHIGHTING!'s universe, standing at 5'2" inches or 157cm.
