Team-Up analysis
Strengths, tradeoffs, and ideal situations for each option.
Hela is not simply choosing between two bonuses: Hel Tendrils and Deep Wrath push the kit toward different priorities. The better choice depends on map geometry, team composition, fight tempo, and whether the anchor partner already provides value on their own. The analysis below weighs both the base effect and Enhanced ceiling without treating a situational advantage as a universal answer.
OPTION 1
Hel Tendrils
ANCHOR · Venom
Hel Tendrils, anchored by Venom, gives Hela a very specific tactical route: Replace Soul Drainer with Hel Tendrils. Upon hit, tendrils pull nearby enemies toward the impact point and links them, Slowing enemies that try to escape. As a Duelist, it should be judged by how consistently it converts an opening into pressure, damage, or a secured elimination. Its sustain component has value in extended fights, but loses impact when allies cannot survive the initial burst. Its control utility can create a clean focus-fire opportunity, but coordinated teammates are needed to fully convert that opening. In practice, this option is best when the composition can play around that condition and reproduce it reliably. Its weakness appears when the fight forces Hela to react outside that plan, because part of the value is tied to a particular window, position, or interaction. With the Enhanced effect active, when teaming up with Venom, Piercing Night fires a dense volley of symbiote-infused Nightsword Thorns. Each direct Nightsword Thorn hit restores a portion of Hela’s Health. That raises the option's ceiling, but it also means the composition with Venom has to justify the team slot.
OPTION 2
Deep Wrath
ANCHOR · Namor
Deep Wrath, anchored by Namor, gives Hela a very specific tactical route: Whenever Hela participates in a KO, an Undead Monstro spawns at the fallen enemy’s position. While an Undead Monstro is present, casting Piercing Night will command the Monstro to spit a Nightsword Thorn at the nearest enemy. As a Duelist, it should be judged by how consistently it converts an opening into pressure, damage, or a secured elimination. The direct offensive payoff is easy to understand, but it is only decisive when the team can safely maintain pressure. In practice, this option is best when the composition can play around that condition and reproduce it reliably. Its weakness appears when the fight forces Hela to react outside that plan, because part of the value is tied to a particular window, position, or interaction. With the Enhanced effect active, when teaming up with Namor, each attack during Goddess of Death spawns an Undead Monstro at the point of impact. That raises the option's ceiling, but it also means the composition with Namor has to justify the team slot.
