Hela strategy and tips in Marvel Rivals
Hela shines in your team’s backline, and her slow but lethal long-range daggers make her a great sniper to take down smaller enemy targets. She can quickly shift her target to tanks and wear them down to turn the tides of the matches.
Apart from her basic attacks, Piercing Night allows her to stack blades on enemies and land a few regular attacks. It should catch enemies by surprise and explode after a delay, stacking the damage together.
The Soul Drainer is a fantastic tool for blocking enemies such as Star-Lord or Scarlet Witch, who like to get close to you to maintain distance. You can use your Astral Flock to get away to vantage points and help your team shine from a distance. This tool’s mobility allows you to strategically relocate to other locations and always keep enemies guessing about your position on the map.
Goddess of Death is probably the best ultimate in the game, which gives Hela a steady vision of the battlefield while floating high in the sky and dishing out a heavy amount of damage to wipe squads in an instant. Moreover, if you’re stuck in a tricky situation, this could be a getaway tool to take down enemies easily.
Hela also has a team-up ability with Loki, which, upon her killing an enemy, instantly resurrects her Asgardian brother, who provides a steady stream of heals in the match to sustain your team.Â
Learning the superhero has a skill ceiling, which involves timing your projectiles and understanding how they operate in the game. Once you’ve wrapped your head around that, you’d be scoring MVPs with her in every Marvel Rivals match.
If you’ve mastered Hela, then maybe it’s time to learn Peni Parker, one of the game’s tanks. But now that you are the Goddess of Death, rack up the headshots and easy wins while climbing the ladder to make sure everyone knows your dominance.
