Duelist · Hela (ᚺᛖᛚᚨ)

Hela

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.

    • When selecting the Team-Up with Namor, reduce Undead Monstro single-hit damage from 15 to 10.
  3. Balance 20260710
    • Increase Nightsword Thorn base damage from 70 to 80.
    • Adjust the damage falloff from starting at 18m and reducing to 70% at 30m to starting at 18m and reducing to 75% at 35m.
    • Astral Flock Adjustment: Hela can now fly freely in any direction while in Crow form.
