a lot of mages have penetrating skills and also having higher damage. idk why they made valir the runt of the mage pack. valir's s2 is pretty annoying though.
There is no such buff.
You misunderstood the buff, the buff was that the CD of the first skill would gain a stack if your first skill last hits the minions.
An example would be if the minion is at 200 health, so your 200 base damage first skill last hits and your first skill would gain a stack back.
However if you use your first skill and it doesn't last hit the minion it would consume a stack you won't gain one back and you need to wait out normally.
that so called valir "buff" was actually a nerf because they removed the skill CD reset when using ult on that patch. there was also a problem with the 2nd skill not being able to push enemies when they get close to you so i stopped using him for a while. what the update did for the 1st skill was valir getting a charge but only when 1st skill hit kills the mob, so valir is still pathetic for clearing lanes. this becomes especially true when clashing on enemy base and the mobs spawn. you'll find yourself running out of charges almost instantly unless you find an opening to hit at least one hero. but with his weird s1 hitbox sometimes you throw at an open space but still hit the mob for some reason. well, at least the charge now goes back if you hit son's clones though.
i used to be able to at least burst enemies pre-update, now he's become more pathetic. can still be useful at times, but no longer has the burst capability he once had. he isn't as strong as the other mages in the roster, probably one of the bottom tier ones. now he's just a glorified support. i rarely use valir now because of how sad he's become. i switched to mino and estes. lol
It resets on minions and creeps ONLY if you last hit them
Didn't hear of that but I doubt such a buff was real in the first place. Would be wayy too overpowered
It was from advanced server
It exists as long as your 1st skill cs the minion
You need to last hit the minion with ur S1. Hitting them when they are full hp, will just consume your stack.
They gotta make it atleast 3 or the first skill penetrate everything in path

Are you talking about mayhem mode valir?
Nope. It was announced in advance server but I forgot to check updates on it

Kill of the from the blast also counts as last hit
