Hela is arguably the strongest Duelist character because of her formidable powers in Marvel Rivals at the time of writing. Hela, the death goddess and the brother of Thor and Loki, inflicts a great level of damage on adversaries with assaults that can nearly one-shot some of them. Because of her ridiculous DPS, immobilizing ability, and unexpected mobility, Hela is a flexible character who can be a member of almost any squad.
Heroes and villains with low health and strong DPS who assist their team in eliminating opponents are known as duelist characters. In Marvel Rivals, the amount of Duelists on your team typically has the biggest impact on your group’s team comp, unlike defensive Vanguards or helpful Strategists. Having strong Duelists like Hela might benefit your teammates if you know how to use her powers. If you have too many, your team will be exposed to defeat.
All Hela Abilities in Mervel Rivals
In Marvel Rivals, Hela’s skills are composed of a rather simple set of tools. The majority of Hela’s skills are intended to enable her to quickly eliminate opponents, particularly when they are lesser members of the other team. Only when you use certain skills to pin down opponents and make them simpler to knock down will Hela be able to accomplish this goal by focusing on opposing Duelists or Strategists?
All of Hela’s skills are listed in the table below, along with the recovery time:
| Ability | Ability Type | Cooldown | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nightsword Thorn | Primary Attack | 8 Thorns (Reload) | Hit enemies with Nightsword Thorns. |
| Piercing Night | Secondary Attack | 8 seconds | Fire several Nightsword Thorns, each of which explodes after a brief pause. |
| Astral Flock | Basic Ability | 12 seconds | To glide forward and become impenetrable to harm, change into a Nastrond Crow. To reverse the change, press the input for this skill once more. |
| Soul Drainer | Basic Ability | 12 seconds | To stun adversaries in the vicinity, project an explosive Hel sphere. |
| Nastrond Crowstorm | Passive | N/A | When an adversary is defeated, a Nastrond Crow is created, which will explode in a small area of effect after a while. |
| Hel’s Descent | Passive | N/A | Hold your jump button to fall slowly when in the air. |
| Goddess of Death | Ultimate | N/A | Launch Nastrond Crows from each hand whenever you want as you soar through the air. |
Particularly when they hit adversaries in the head, Nightsword Thorns inflict some of the most devastating blows in the game. Low-health foes, like Luna Snow or Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals, can be eliminated by one or two of these attacks landing critically against an opponent.
When used in conjunction with Nastrond Crowstorm, the Nightsword Thorns enable Hela’s eliminations to inflict damage on foes near. An opponent group that is too close together is punished by the AoE explosion of a death crow from a vanquished adversary. Hela may kill targets in a variety of ways when paired with Piercing Night, which lowers the numbers of an opposing team and changes the tide.
How to Master Hela’s Ultimate for Maximum Impact
The character is launched into the air by Hela’s Ultimate, which holds her there until it is finished. Although this might appear weak, Hela has few weaknesses, much like Iron Man in Marvel Rivals is revealed when he becomes motionless during his Ultimate. First of all, even if the entire opponent team targets Hela, she is quite difficult to defeat because her Ultimate boosts her health by 800.
Hela’s primary attack, the Crows, may deal adversaries a ton of damage while she is still in the air during her Ultimate. You should aim each Crow swarm at groups of targets because these Crows are similar to AoE bombs that you dump on foes. Hela’s passive ability will come into play with every enemy you defeat, causing vanquished opponents to explode and inflict additional damage on anyone in their vicinity.
Hela’s Ultimate must be used in a location that is impossible for adversaries to avoid, such as a disputed objective. Because the Crows can not readily demolish a map’s environment, enemies can evade Hela’s Ultimate by hiding behind walls.
How to Build the Best Team Composition for Hela
Among the other characters in Marvel Rivals Hela can join a team, here are some of your best options:
- Thor
- Loki
- Hawkeye
- Adam Warlock
Together with Hela, Thor, and Loki have the Team-Up ability known as the “Queen of Hel.” Hela can bring both Thor and Loki back to life during their respawn phase when this ability is active, but only after she eliminates them. Under the correct conditions, you can call back two comrades at once with this extremely potent ability, which can happen more than once as long as Hela receives the last hits on her opponents.
Throughout a battle, you can continuously revive both Thor and Loki because of how quickly Hela can be eliminated. Hela can also be raised from the dead by using the Strategist’s Ultimate ability if Adam Warlock is on your squad. Hawkeye and other characters with strong critical hit damage can eliminate opposing teams while requiring them to take down your squad several times in order to win battles.
How to Win Matches with Hela: Tips and Strategies
Hela’s role as a Duelist is to eliminate high-priority targets, such as the Strategist characters on the other team. Any pillars of support an opposition team may have can be quickly destroyed with Hela’s tremendous damage output from her primary and secondary attacks. Hela performs best in uncontested battles, as she may use her projectile Thorns to snipe adversaries from a distance with devastating blows.
More mobility is offered by Astral Flock than you may anticipate with Hela. With this ability, you can reach high points on maps to find the ideal attack spot or escape from adversaries that are swarming into your team’s backline to pursue you. The Vanguard has a long cooldown, so if you have one on your squad, try to stay behind them so you have enough protection to utilize this ability sparingly.
Hela’s Ultimate can also be used to evade danger, but only if you are left with little choice. Hela is most effective when she deals as much damage to adversaries as she can, either to destroy vulnerable targets or to weaken them for your allies. The rest of your squad can act aggressively to seek game-winning objectives in Marvel Rivals if you use Hela’s skills to reduce the number of enemies.
