Hela is vulnerable to heroes who can pressure her directly, interrupt her abilities, or outlast her damage. Here’s what heroes to play and how to counter Hela:
Vanguard Counters
Dr. Strange: Eye of Agamotto (Q) separates Hela’s soul from her body, allowing Strange to deal damage directly to her soul, bypassing her positioning. Shield of the Seraphim (Right Click) creates a barrier to block Hela’s ranged attacks, reducing her damage output.
Magneto: Meteor M (Q) deals massive area damage, punishing Hela and any nearby allies. Metallic Curtain (LShift) blocks Hela’s projectiles, neutralizing her ranged attacks.
Captain America: Freedom Charge (Q) allows Cap to close the distance on Hela quickly, forcing her into melee range. Living Legend (Right Click) deflects Hela’s attacks, turning her damage against her.
Duelist Counters
Hawkeye: Scourge Grenade (Right Click) blinds Hela, reducing her ability to land ranged attacks. Hunter’s Sight (Q) allows Hawkeye to deal consistent damage from a safe distance, bypassing Hela’s summons.
Punisher: Culling Turret (E) creates an area of denial, forcing Hela to reposition or take heavy damage. Scourge Grenade (Right Click) limits Hela’s ability to aim and disrupts her abilities.
Winter Soldier: Kraken Impact (Q) deals high burst damage to Hela, breaking through her defenses. Tainted Voltage (E) slows Hela, making it harder for her to kite or reposition effectively.
Star-Lord: Blaster Barrage (E) punishes Hela for staying near her team, dealing consistent area damage. Stellar Shift (Right Click) allows Star-Lord to evade Hela’s attacks and reposition safely.
Strategist Counters
Adam Warlock: Soul Bond (LShift) spreads damage among allies, neutralizing Hela’s focus on single-target damage. Karmic Revival (Q) brings back fallen teammates, countering Hela’s elimination strategy.
Loki: Doppelganger (E) creates illusions to confuse Hela, wasting her abilities. Devious Exchange (F) lets Loki dodge Hela’s attacks and reposition for counterplay.
Luna Snow: Absolute Zero (Right Click) freezes Hela, stopping her attacks and abilities temporarily. Fate of Both Worlds (Q) toggles between healing and damage boosts, neutralizing Hela’s impact while supporting her team.
Abilities to Watch Out For
Soul Drainer (E): Hela’s stun ability is a major threat. Keep moving to avoid being locked down.
Goddess of Death (Q): Deals consistent long-range damage to enemies. Use mobility to stay out of her line of fire.
Necrotic Barrage (Right Click): Hela summons attacks that deal damage over time. Avoid clumping together to minimize its effect.
Quick Tips
Close the Distance: Hela excels at ranged combat. Use mobility to engage her in close combat where she’s less effective.
Interrupt Her Abilities: Use stuns, slows, or knockbacks to stop Hela from setting up her attacks.
Prioritize Sustained Damage: Hela can heal herself and sustain in fights. Consistent damage (or quick burst) will out-do her healing abilities.
