Hela is a formidable Duelist hero known for her potent mid- to long-range damage capabilities. As the Asgardian Goddess of Death, she commands an endless army of undead warriors and seeks to expand her dominion beyond the nether realms. Her straightforward yet high-ceiling skill set allows skilled players to exert significant pressure on opponents, making her a top-tier damage dealer in the game. However, recent balance adjustments have reduced her base health to 250, aiming to maintain fair gameplay dynamics.

Team-Up: Ragnarok Rebirth

The Ragnarok Rebirth Team-Up ability activates when Hela is paired with Thor or Loki. When Hela lands a final blow on an enemy, this synergy provides the following benefits: If Thor or Loki are defeated: They instantly respawn at their death location after a brief delay (1.5 seconds), bypassing the standard respawn timer. If Thor or Loki are alive: They receive bonus health (+50 per kill, up to a maximum of 100). This Team-Up enhances battlefield sustainability, allowing for continuous pressure and strategic advantages during engagements.

How to Play Hela in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips

Maintain Distance: Hela excels at mid to long-range combat, so avoid melee engagements whenever possible. Use her Nightsword Thorn to deal damage from afar, and keep repositioning to stay out of reach of aggressive characters.
Utilize Astral Flock for Mobility: This ability allows Hela to transform into a crow, gliding to advantageous positions or escaping danger. Use it strategically to reach high ground or evade close-quarters combat, ensuring you can maintain your distance while still contributing to fights.
Exploit Crowd Control: Leverage Hela's Soul Drainer and Piercing Night abilities to stun and damage enemies. Stunned foes are vulnerable to critical hits, allowing you to maximize your damage output and create opportunities for your team.
Positioning is Key: Always be aware of your surroundings and reposition frequently. Use cover and high ground to your advantage, as Hela's attacks can dominate from these vantage points. Stay behind your team's Vanguard for protection while targeting enemy Strategists.
Time Your Ultimate Wisely: Hela's ultimate ability, Nastrond Crowstorm, can turn the tide of battle but leaves her vulnerable while casting. Ensure your teammates are engaging the enemy simultaneously to distract them, allowing you to unleash this powerful attack effectively without being focused down.
