How to Play Hilda
When facing enemies, start with Bladeslam to surprise them. Use block to defend against smaller foes and strike back with a couple of hits. Against larger enemies or bosses, try to counterattack and use your Ultimate buff to enhance your combat potential. Hilda’s swings are slow, so always try to step back to stay out of reach when needed.
Keep engaging enemies with a forward-focused approach, mixing offensive strikes with defensive blocking, and use her skills strategically for crowd control and survivability.
