Hela received a small nerf in Marvel Rivals, lowering her survivability by reducing her base health. Here’s a quick rundown of their changes after the Season 1 patch in January 2025.

What Changed?

Hela’s base health was reduced from 275 to 250, meaning she starts with 25 less health than before.

Impact of the Nerf

  1. Lower Survivability
    With less health, Hela is easier to take down, especially during early fights or when caught out of position.

  2. Increased Risk in Fights
    Players using Hela will need to be more cautious when engaging enemies, as she can’t take as much damage as before.

  3. Weaker Against Burst Damage
    Since Hela now has less health, burst damage characters like Hawkeye or Wolverine will have an easier time finishing her off quickly.

Our Thoughts

This nerf slightly weakens Hela’s in terms of her ability to stay alive. It might not sound like much, but you will need to position carefully and avoid unnecessary risks to stay alive.
