Marvel Rivals has a versatile roster from the very beginning of Season 0 - Doom's Rise, with over 30 playable characters to choose from across 3 different roles. Each role (Vanguard, Duelist, or Strategist) has a different job to play on the battlefield for their team, and each character within this role performs this job slightly differently based on their unique ability kits. However, with such a range of different heroes and villains to select from at the beginning of every match, figuring out which characters you're best at can be a case of trial and error.
Hela is one of the many Duelist characters in Marvel Rivals, and when played to her full potential, she can be a formidable and fearsome foe to go up against. Hela's ability kit is quite solid in the fact that it enables her to deal damage from both mid and long range, and combo abilities to secure easy picks with perfect execution. If you're looking to pick up Hela for the first time, you can find all of the information you'll need to get started in the guide below, including a list of her abilities and tips and tricks for combat.
