Overall Rating: 9/10

Hel Builds

:  Hel’s Reaper	A :Distant Counter
: Reposition	B : Mystic Boost 3
: Miracle	C :  Inevitable Death
	S : Brazen Atk/Spd 3

A rather expensive build for Hel. Because of her playstyle, she will always be in Brazen range. Mystic Boost 3 makes her survivable in this otherwise dangerous HP zone, though.

Recommended IVs

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Hel are +Spd and -Res. A +Spd adds to her already amazing Spd of 41. This helps her score more follow-up attacks and take less follow-up attacks from enemies. It also works very well with the effect of Hel’s Reaper as a follow-up attack will knock her off the 1 HP blessing. Lastly, her Spd is a superboon so you should take advantage of it as much as possible. Her Res is of less importance and she is not built for taking magic damage so it is safe to take as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Hel to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. At this point, Hel will be able to evade follow-up attacks from even the fastest of foes with skills like Swift Sparrow 3 or Atk/Spd Push 4.

Roles

Note: Hel is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe’s Def stat.

Pros & cons

Pros (Strengths)	Cons (Weaknesses)
Very Durable	Not good an prolonged engagements
Guard Bearing and Distant Counter makes her even harder to take down
