5 best heroes to counter Hela in Marvel Rivals

Hela in Marvel Rivals is one of the popular picks among players who tend to rely more on their aim than superpower usage. She uses her Nighsword Thorn to inflict significant damage on opponents. Apart from her primary fire, other abilities like Soul Drainer, Piercing Night, and more are highly useful in certain intense scenarios.

Despite being one of the strongest and most annoying Marvel Heroes on the battlefield, a few from the roster can counter the Goddess of Death to nullify her wraith.

Keeping that in mind, this article will list a few Heroes that can counter Hela in Marvel Rivals.

Note: Parts of this article are subjective and solely reflect the author's opinion. However, if you're facing the Goddess of Death, we strongly recommend picking these characters.

The Punisher, Captain America, and other three Heroes to counter Hela in Marvel Rivals

1) The Punisher

The Punisher is one of the easiest Duelists to learn in Marvel Rivals. This hit-scan character can easily track and shred Hela with his Adjudication. On top of that, the mounted machine gun is a game changer when it comes to countering any lethal Vanguard, Strategist, and Duelist characters.

However, the Punisher is quite slow and might not keep up with Hela's movement. Hence, we highly suggest using the zipline properly to shorten the distance with the Goddess of death.

2) Captain America

Captain America in Marvel Rivals is one of the most effective Dive Vanguards that can punish Hela from a close range. Apart from the health pool difference, a couple of things proved to be quite lethal against this HeL resident. The Leading Dash helps the Captain rush her quickly.

Combining it with the Super Soldier Slam would provide significant AoE (area of effect) damage. Meanwhile, Cap's shield is perfect to absorb the lethal damage from the Goddess herself. Furthermore, the Liberty Rush and Vibraniun Energy Saw are also useful against lethal Duelists like the Asgardian.

3) Hawkeye

Hawkeye is one of the most effective counters of Hela in Marvel Rivals. If we follow the basic fundamental method to counter a long-range character with another long-range Herp, there's no other than this marksman.

Hawkeye can swap between Piercing and Blast Arrow to inflict long-range damage to Hela. Moreover, his Archer's Focus passive will help him apply bonus damage to go toe-to-toe with the Goddess of Death. On top of that, he can also use the Skyward Leap to rush the Goddess to catch her off guard.

4) Luna Snow

Luna Snow is the most effective Strategist to use against the Goddess of Death in Marvel Rivals. She has a wide range of abilities including Absolute Zero, Ice Arts, and more. Firstly, Light & Dark Ice has a massive potential to shred Hela in close or mid-range combats. However, it's not effective in long-range battles because the damage falls off.

When almost every strategist fails to provide significant damage in the long range, Luna's Ice Arts and Absolute Zero get the job done. While one ability allows her to inflict exceptional damage on the Asgardian, the other ability (Absolute Zero) can freeze the Goddess and anyone can finish her off.

Lastly, Luna Snow's Fate of Both Worlds allows her teammates including herself to survive any deadly attacks, such as the ultimate attack from Hela.

5) Venom

Venom is another Vanguard who can inflict significant damage on Hela. The symbiote-enhanced body can use the combination of Venom Swing and Dark Predation to dive right onto the character and shred her within seconds. Meanwhile, his agility and maneuvering on the field make him a tough target to hit for the Goddess.

On top of that, Venom's Symbiotic Resilience helps him convert all his lost health to bonus health. As a result, it's easier for him to survive the deadly attacks from thorns and piercing night.
