Best Strategies for Hela in Marvel Rivals
Raise Hell as Hela in One-on-One Confrontations
Focusing on damaging opponents, Hela is best played sort of like a delicate tank, in a way. Her use of projectile attacks, likeNightsword ThornandSoul Drainer, can do quite a number of enemies. Utilize distance and strike from a safe length as to ensure your safety. A good two to three hits with the thorns, especially withPiercing Night, can destroy opponents quickly and effectively. If there is one or two bothersome foes on the other side giving a teammate a tough time, teach them a lesson fast.
In terms of crowd control, that is where Hela does falter a bit. Still, her Ultimate attack (Goddess of Death) is perfect for those situations, as you can get multiple targets without too much reload time. Yet, outside of that, you may want to keep Hela for one-on-one situations and useAstral Flockto avoid such crowded areas. However, if you are confident in your ability and go into the battlefield head-on, make sure to focus on one enemy at a time and useQueen of Helif there is aThoror Loki on the team. Overall, if your team is in need of a damage-first Duelist, Hela is the way to go.
