Players get to switch between Valorplates in the Sanctum between missions. Once you start a mission with a Valorplate, you can't change it back until you either finish the mission or abandon it. 

 

Are all Valorplates the same?

Each Valorplate you obtain has its own set of stats, buffs, and an Archon Ability. Archon Abilities basically are the Valorplate's ultimate ability that can be unleashed when it is available.
