Ult: Strafe or Rain of Vengeance? Top
Early Game Top
Valla laning phase is quite good, especially in solo lanes, if you use her correctly. The combination of
Composite Arrows and
Arsenal make you better in lane, and make you a wave clear monster. Keep in mind that if you use
Multishot frivolously, you
will have mana problems, and you
will have a difficult time early game. Be mindful of you mana and take advantage of your sippy cup (healing fountain).
The most important thing about early game Valla is positioning. While
Vault is a great escape, a well-placed Nova or a Stitches hook can really screw you over if you aren't careful. Use the minion waves to your advantage, avoiding skill shots. Be mindful of early game ganks, as Valla scales quickly (and if the opposing team knows it, they will optimize on your mistakes, especially if you over extend or play too aggressively).
Battle Momentum is the most viable choice for your tier 3 talents. While Caltrops has its situational use, later on you'll make up for it with
Frost Shot. Also,
Battle Momentum allows you to reduce the cooldown of
Multishot half a second every time you hit a basic attack. Never underestimate this power spike, it adds up very quickly, and is the best choice for the Multishot build.
Remember, early game Valla is not a survivable hero, so just be careful and watch positioning.
Mid Game Top
Valla is a good mid game heroes as her poke and high aoe damage gives her potential to harass a lane or focus on objectives.
Despite her mid game power spike, positioning is still vital. When it comes to Valla, it's better safe than sorry (your team will never win a 4v5 without you, and you do no damage when you're dead). The loss of Valla will likely lead to falling behind in experience or losing important mid game objectives.
Level 16,
Blood for Blood gives you increased survivability (as Valla has close to none).
**Note:
Executioner is also viable, but I would only take it in a team where someone else has taken
Blood for Blood, so you can combo your abilities.
Late Game Top
For level 20 talents, you have a choice. I almost always take
Bolt of the Storm, but you can choose
Nexus Frenzy if you feel it best to have that distance. Use your discretion. The reason I like
Bolt of the Storm, is the quick escape for nasty situations (
Vault can't get you out of a body block or over a thick wall).
If your team is ahead at this point, your job is simple, kill. If I haven't said it enough, again, watch your positioning, you are still squishy and a high priority target.
If your team is behind, be
extra careful of positioning, and make sure to help your team with objectives as well as clearing pushed in lanes. You have really great wave clear, so if you're not in a teamfight, you're probably the best to go back to base and fix whatever got messed up.
Teamfights Top
As Valla, with a good team comp, you're likely the top, or near top damage dealer and burst damage, so make sure to focus on targeting. No matter how obnoxious and in your face that Muradin is, Janna is right behind him, Blizzrd-ing your team to death, and should be focused down immediately. Always target the squishy high damage (or high heals - like Li Li - first). However, do not sacrifice your positioning to reach these targets.

Rain of Vengeance and
Strafe are pretty much 50/50. Here are some pros and cons of both.
