How Helga works

Helga is a 1-generation mythic Infantry built primarily as a control bruiser. The kit centers on stun control, area damage, knockback, and burst damage.

Conquest skill 1

Performs an antler charge, dealing Attack * 224% area of effect damage, knocking the targets back, and stunning them for 1s.

Conquest skill 2

Deals Attack * 210% damage to the target.

Conquest skill 3

When taking damage, there is a 10% chance of increasing Attack by 12% for 3s. Stacks up to 5 times.

Helga in Conquest

The current dataset does not contain a winning record for this hero, so practical relevance is projected from the kit and raw stats.

The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Helga is not ranked from raw win rate alone because heroes enter the dataset at different stages and are tested with different frequency.

This page is a projection. It should be revised when direct trusted wins are added.

Helga in Arena

Preliminary Arena projection

The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as stun control, area damage, knockback, and burst damage.

In Arena, Helga should be judged by whether the formation can use stun control, area damage, knockback, and burst damage before the hero is removed or controlled. Newer-generation raw stats matter more in direct PvP, but specialized older heroes can remain useful three or four generations later when their development and utility still justify the slot.

Best position for Helga

No trusted positional win is available yet. Based on the kit and class, the starting projection is Front left, followed by matchup testing.

  • No direct winning position is available in the current dataset.

The starting target map still applies: front left and back left pressure enemy front left, while front right, back middle, and back right pressure enemy front right. Retargeting then follows the closest valid target.

Helga strengths and limitations

Main strengths

  • Stun control.
  • Area damage.
  • Knockback.
  • Burst damage.
  • Stacking power.
  • Self attack.

Main limitations

  • Cleanse and control immunity reduce the value of the control package.
  • The strongest effect depends on a trigger, stack, mark, or timing condition.
  • Random effects create more battle-to-battle variance.
  • Newer generations gain a raw-stat advantage, so continued use depends on development and specialized utility.

Who Helga counters—and who counters Helga

Strong or useful into

Rosa — Conditional counter Strong evidence. Helga has an observed advantage into Rosa. Most often observed with Helga in front left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.
Margot — Conditional counter Moderate evidence. Helga has an observed advantage into Margot. Most often observed with Helga in front left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.
Gordon — Conditional counter Moderate evidence. Helga has an observed advantage into Gordon. Most often observed with Helga in front right, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
Quinn — Conditional counter Moderate evidence. Helga has an observed advantage into Quinn. Most often observed with Helga in front right, initially pressuring the enemy front right.

Threats to watch

Jabel — Direct counter Strong evidence. Jabel has an observed advantage into Helga. Most often observed with Jabel in back right, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
Margot — Direct counter Moderate evidence. Margot has an observed advantage into Helga. Most often observed with Margot in back middle, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
Quinn — Direct counter Moderate evidence. Quinn has an observed advantage into Helga. Most often observed with Quinn in back middle, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
Triton — Direct counter Moderate evidence. Triton has an observed advantage into Helga. Most often observed with Triton in front right, initially pressuring the enemy front right.

Named matchup conclusions remain position-dependent. A direct counter should be placed in the lane or slot that creates the observed interaction.
