Summary & Playstyle

Hela is a high-damage duelist who thrives in extended fights with her summoning abilities and sustained magic pressure. Her ability to overwhelm enemies with waves of spectral attacks makes her a threat in both skirmishes and large team engagements. She excels at applying constant pressure and wearing down enemies over time. The optimal playstyle involves aggressive lane control and forcing enemies to deal with her constant output. She pairs well with vanguards who can pin down targets for her to finish off. Hela also thrives when she can focus down isolated enemies, leveraging her sustain to win trades. Hela’s weaknesses are burst and crowd control. Strong initiators can collapse on her before she ramps up, while anti-heal can reduce her sustain dramatically. In the right compositions, however, Hela is a relentless presence that can carry fights through attrition.
