How Hela should create ranked value
Play patient sightlines and force enemies to cross your damage before you commit to a duel.
Editorial note: this section is Pocket Rivals advice for everyday ranked lobbies. Use the official source panel for canonical ability text, then use this ranked read to decide what to practice next.
First job
Play behind a Vanguard who creates the first distraction instead of opening alone.
Practice next
- 1Take an off-angle before using burst cooldowns.
- 2Keep mobility or a defensive tool for the exit.
- 3Shoot the target your tank or other Duelist is already pressuring.
Avoid
Do not open every fight by burning mobility forward. If the burst fails, you need an exit.

The Asgardian Goddess of Death, Hela is a powerful sorceress who controls an endless army of undead warriors. She has long sought to expand her domain beyond the nether realms and will make any deal that benefits her goal. Hela will not rest until all souls-living and dead-are hers to command.
Hela offered to support Loki's coup in exchange for an extension of Hel's territory into the realm of the living. In truth, though, she seeks to claim Yggsgard's throne-and the temporal power that comes with it-for herself.
