Hela: Who is Hela in Marvel Rivals?

Hela is a Duelist hero in Marvel Rivals and the 19th hero introduced to the game. As the Goddess of Death and ruler of Hel, she wields immense power over the souls of the fallen. With mastery over necromancy, dark magic, and summoned weapons, Hela thrives in battle by eliminating enemies with precision strikes and explosive abilities.

In Marvel Rivals, Hela is a long-range Duelist with high damage output and strong area-of-effect potential. Her abilities allow her to control fights by dealing devastating blows while maintaining mobility and disrupting enemy formations.

Hela’s Abilities in Marvel Rivals

Hela specializes in ranged attacks, burst damage, and battlefield control. Here’s a breakdown of her abilities:

Primary Attack

• Nightsword Thorn: A powerful hitscan^[1] attack that deals high damage to enemies at long range.

Secondary Attack

• Piercing Night: Throws four enchanted blades that stick to enemies and explode after a short duration, dealing additional damage in an area.

Abilities

• Soul Drainer: Lobs an energy sphere that deals minor damage but stuns multiple enemies within a small radius, interrupting certain abilities and ultimates.
• Astral Flock: Transforms into a high-speed crow, flying in any direction. While in flight, she is immune to all damage and CC^[2] effects.
• Hel's Descent: Allows Hela to slow her descent by holding the jump button, giving her more control when landing after using Astral Flock.

Ultimate Ability

• Goddess of Death: Rises into the air and enters a first-person view, allowing her to launch Nastrond Crows that explode on impact, dealing massive area damage. During this ability, she gains a separate 1000 HP shield. If it is depleted, she will revert to her normal form with her previous health.

Passive Ability

• Nastrond Crowstorm: When Hela lands the final blow on an enemy, a crow explosion occurs at their location, dealing area damage.

Hela Team-Ups in Marvel Rivals

• Queen of Hel (with Loki and Thor): Landing the final hit on an enemy instantly revives Loki and/or Thor if they are downed. If they are alive, they receive bonus health. This team-up also grants a 20% damage boost to all three heroes.

Hela’s combination of devastating ranged attacks, mobility, and team synergy makes her a lethal Duelist in Marvel Rivals.
