How To Play Hela in Marvel Rivals?
Hela’s Mobility
Hela has moderate mobility in her standard form. However, things will completely change when she uses one of her abilities. Astral Flock, one of the best mobility-based abilities overall, allows her to transform into a Nastrond Crow. Moreover, it also makes her invulnerable to all attacks.
Astral Flock is used to either place yourself in a strategically advantageous spot or escape from a dangerous zone. Hel’s Descent (passive ability) can be used as a follow-up to Astral Flock, which allows her to descend and fall slowly into the ground.
Hela’s Survivability
When it comes to survival, Hela won’t stand much chance, as she will be eliminated with a few powerful hits. Similar to all duelists, she comes with a small health bar of 275, which makes it difficult for her to survive on her own.
As mentioned above, she relies on Astral Flock for her survival. Always keep your Astral Flock ability stacked up, which helps in any unusual or dangerous situation. Additionally, using Soul Drainer stuns the enemies and offers a chance to escape the place.
Hela Playstyle and Combos
Hela is definitely one of the best duelists in Marvel Rivals, thanks to her unstoppable Nightsword thorns and other supernatural abilities. She is overpowered in mid- long-range combat, as her Nightsword Thorns can deal slow and drastic damage on the enemies.
If you are eager about the perfect combo for the Goddess of Death, here is the suggested one. Get started with Soul Drainer to stun the enemies, then launch continuous projectiles with the deadly Nightsword Thorns and Piercing Night. Then get into the perfect spot using Astral Flock.
Once you hit the spot, unleash your devastating Ultimate ability ‘Goddess Of Death’ to clear the area. When the Goddess of Death is activated, Hela leaps into the sky and unleashes Nastrond Crows to create drastic AoE damage.
Best Team Composition With Hela in Marvel Rivals
Hela is a mid-long-range sharpshooter, she can easily take out the opponent team’s support and strategist with her powerful abilities. So she can team up with tanks such as Hulk and Groot, who shift the focus of the enemies. It makes way for you to take out the enemies seamlessly.
Hela’s team-up ability Queen Of Hel, ties directly to her brothers, Thor and Loki. When Thor and Loki are included in the team, they gain benefit when Hela lands a final hit on an enemy. They will be resurrected if they are dead or receive bonus health if they are alive.
Hela Counters in Marvel Rivals
Albeit being overpowered, Hela is balanced with her low health bar, which serves as her primary weakness.
Tracking a flying character will be challenging for Hela. A flying character with a strong-melee attack is the best counter to Hela, making Spider-Man an obvious choice. Spider-Man can easily reach Hela by swinging his webs toward her, leaving Hela with limited options—either surrender or attempt to escape using her Astral Flock or Soul Drainer abilities.
Similarly, Venom’s ‘Venom Swing’ ability allows him to get close to Hela quickly and launch surprise attacks. Therefore, Spiderman and Venom will be effective counters against Hela.
Tips and Tricks To Play Hela in Marvel Rivals
These tips allow you to play effectively with Hela in Marvel Rivals:
- Positioning yourself before activating her ultimate ability ‘Goddess Of Death’ is really important. If you get blocked by any structure or building during the ability, then it will be completely messed up.
- When an enemy is about to flee with low health, that is the perfect time to use Piercing Night, as the thorns will eventually detonate and may get you a kill count.
- Defeating an enemy will trigger an exploding Nastrond Crowstorm, which can be used to deal with AoE damage to surrounding enemies.
- Astral Flock, is one of the best abilities in the game, which helps in both positioning yourself or escaping from enemies.
