Valeska the Knight is a Castle hero.

Specialty

The in-game description "Increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Archers or Marksmen for each level attained after 2nd level." is erroneous in "each level attained" moment, and lacks the speed bonus information. (Description is fixed in HotA ).

Unlike the native terrain speed bonus, the creature specialty speed bonus can affect the hero's movement points in case the creature is the slowest one in the army.
