|
Expansion|
|
High Skill Floor. No leap or dashes. No true ultimate. No hard crowd control. Close to mid range to land your skills. |
|
Expansion
|
|
Shoes of Focus: Your basic mandatory boots of choice, giving you your basic +18% Movement Speed, +250 mana and +50 Magical Power and the passive gives you a +15% CD reduction.
|
|
|
Chronos' Pendant: gives you +75 Magical Power and +25 MP5 while giving you a 25% CD reduction from it's passive. You may get this if their are no hard-hitting Physical gods and you require raw power.
|
|
|
Breastplate of Valor: it gives you +75 Physical Protection and +300 Mana while giving you a 25% CD reduction from it's passive. Get this if their are hard hitting Physical Gods such as  Anhur or  Artemis and if you need mana as you will due to your skill's short CD .
|
|
|
Rod of Tahuti: Another mandatory item I get due to it's incredible +125 Magical Power, +15 MP5 and it's signature passive +25% Magical Power increase.
|
|
|
Rod of Asclepius: A wonderful item that is also a mandatory item i get, the reason being is because it goes well with Light Stance  Repulse and Decay / Restoration's healing by increasing it's heal by 25% which is amazing ( minimum heal from a full ranked repulse would be 264 Health and for  Decay's minimum would be increased to 184! )and that it gives you +10% Movement speed , +75 Magical Power and +200 Health .
|
|
|
Obsidian Shard:is a good choice for a team full gods with heavy defense *cough  Geb,  Ymir* by giving you +70 Magical Power and it's passive +33 penetration on all of you skills.
|
|
|
Soul Reaver: this item gives a good hurting to gods with high health with it's passive +15% more damage when gods take damage from your abilities. With a added bonus of giving you +100 Magical Power and +300 Mana. You can get it if there are any high health gods or tanks
|
|
|
 Hide of the Urchin: Probably the best rounded defensive item so far, giving you +45 Magical and Physical Protection and +250 Health and Mana and each stack gives you +2 Magical and Physical Protection. At full stacks it gives you +20 Magical and Physical Protection.( +65 total Magical/ Physical Protection and +250 Health/ Mana). It's good if there are high magical damaging gods ( Ao Kuang,  He Bo)and physical damaging gods ( Anhur, Artemis) in the same team or if you are getting targeted alot.
|
|
|
 Gem of Isolation:is a good choice because of it's passive which slows enemies by 25% and gives you +70 Magical Power with +250 Health and mana . It's great for if you need some health and mana while getting Magical power or if you need the slow so you can land you skills more often
|
|
|
Void Stone: I couldn't decide if it should be placed on Magical power or here due to it's +40 Magical Power , +50 Magical Protection and it's passive that reduces enemy's Magical protection by 25 . Although i buy it in case there is any pesky Mages that cause me trouble.
|
|
|
Ethereal Staff: a good item giving you +30 Magical Power, +600 health and +300 mana . It's passive converts 3% of your health into Magical Power which is good if you don't need any defense and just need to sustain. Paired with the warlock's sash you will get lots of power and health
|
| Magi's blessing | Magi's blessing: Great item if you don't wanna spend money on beads or if there are too many Hard CC gods against you, (Low protection giving you +15 Magical/ Physical Protection , Good health and CCR). |
| Warlock's sash | Warlock's sash: A good item to get if you want health and mana. it's basic stats are good itself, +50 Magical Power, +300 Health and +400 Mana. And for each stack you get +3 Health and +0.6 Magical Power , at full stacks you get +300 Health and +60 Magical Power . All adds up to +110 Magical Power, +600 health and +300 mana . |
|
|
Book of Thoth: This item gives gives you alot magical power, some mana and MP5 ( +100 Magical Power, +15 MP5 and +125 Mana ). Each stack gives you +10 mana, at full it gives you +750 Mana . Added with it's base stats will give you + 100 Magical Power, +875 Mana and +15 MP5. ALSO it's passive converts +3% of your Mana into Magical Power giving you a total of +126 Magical Power with just Item Stats.
|
|
|
 Bancroft's Talon: A good item to get if you want power and some life steal, it gives +100 Magical Power, +12% Life Steal and the passive gives you power the more health you are missing. Great 2nd-3rd item to get if you need more power and some more sustain
|
|
|
 Shoes of the Magi: For the  Hels who needs to destroy tanks. +50 Magical Power, +250 Mana and +18 Movement speed. The Shoes work well with a high damage, high penetration Mage. Works will against gods with heavy Magical defenses on the other team.
|
Stance Attunement PASSIVE|
|
|
Hel 20% additional healing in Light stance and gives her 20% additional damage to her abilities in Dark stance. This makes her have great burst with Decay and Repulse and great healing from them.|
|
|
|
|
|
Hel's High damage/high burst skill, usually this skill is you second priority as it gives you gooddamage , heals you , and it has a short cool-down if you max out your CDR. It is your main poke/mid-ranged skill.|
|
|
|
|
|
Hel one of the best CC removal in the game, you can cc immune/remove your entire team from 
Ares's 
No Escape or 
Hades's 
Pillar of Agony. Not only that, in Dark stance 
Hinder reduces the enemy's protection and movement speed.|
|
|
|
|
|
Hel's nuke, this skill should be your first priority in any or all of your builds. The best Healing skill in game due to it's AoE, it's speed buff and it's low cool-down. Your Stance Attunement increases your healing, paired with Rod of Asclepius and when you are using Heavenly Agility the heal is over 50% stronger! The heal also effects the Minions, giving you a better push and keeping them alive at the tower.|
|
|
|
|
|
Hel's signature skill, allowing you to switch from being a hard hitting, squishy destroying, lane clearing, cookie hating Dark stance to the lovable, heal heavy Light stance. She gains Magical Power in Dark stance, giving her even more burst power, and gains MP5 in Light stance, keeping her sustained and in lanes alot longer|

Praises aside, you barely mentioned one of Hel's prevailing flaws: she is mana HUNGRY. Considering this, wouldn't [Soul Stone] be a better choice than [Vampiric Shroud] since she receives plenty of healing from her skills? This would improve her sustain, as well as give a slight damage boost.
I love to implement Meditation into my own build somewhere, so that's probably the only personal touch I'm going to add to this build when I use it, but overall I really love the look of this build. Nice going!
But like I said I haven't read the whole guide and only looked at the recommended full builds, and if you like to play more supporty healer than dmg mage I get the choice you made. I like playing Hel a lot and the fact is that you can play her in so many different ways with so many different items. Which is fun since so many gods now have a meta that you almost always have to follow if you wanna catch their full potential. That's not the case with Hel if you ask me. I just have that one question about the penetration. I realise Hinder removes protections aswell, but still, the other team are bound to have a tank of some sort.
But just to add I really find the builds fun and inspiring, and the guide itself one of the most well-worked I've seen so far on this site, and I will try them out with my own touch to it. Just wondering about the pen :P
Edit: Spelling
As i always like to point, you have good bbcoding in this!!
This is of extreme importance since it turns the guide a lot more enjoyable and readable.
In my humble opinion, skill section, and other parts of the guide, looks too heavy, if you know what i mean, it is always better to have a clean, yet beautiful, guide!
As a non-native English speaker, I've found some grammar errors, try reading the guide one more time, paying attention on that!!
IMO again, you should always level
Thanks for your input!
I was Trying to fix the majority of the grammar but i don't have any time to fully update it quite yet
For the Colors, I try to go to a signature color of
That is the reason Some/Most of the Headings are Dark
I am trying my hardest to see what can i do with each section, Still a work in progress

I like it. This gives a variety of builds which is important, but Idk about the skill order. Not a Hel player :/.
BB Coding is pretty good, I see you got some templates from the BB Coding guide :3.
Only a couple things I suggest. For
Imo, there are only 2 things you are lacking information wise. Teamwork/Gameplay + Ability descriptions. I see you put the actual ability descriptions, but you can just see that by hovering over the icon (I assume you know already). Instead, use that space for explaining the specific uses of that skill, what to watch out for/be careful while using it and just general tips for that specific skill.
Lastly, I suggest you put in TormentedTurnip in the credits too, since although it is Jordenito's now, he put in a lot of work into it before he let Jordenito take it over :P.
I will upvote for now, giving this guide a 6.5/10 and hope you expand it further! Good luck
Team work will come soon as i had originally planned to puts in hel's roles in the guide but hesitated.
Builds are decent, personally I prefer #3
But I just can't agree that even as support you are not maxing your 3 first. It is not only one of the biggest nukes in the game when it comes to non-ulti skills, but is also terrific heal AND very good speed boost usefull for chases/escapes. As such it is essential for the support role and survival due to the lack of escape. Your 1 is just a small poke, I'd rarely even use it as self heal.
Item descriptions are good, but the abilities part is not needed. I'd substitute it with more detailed description of their uses, especially when it comes to cleansing the cc...
Tea100, i will fix the skill orders i the next update, and i like
I think this guide is supremely efficient, It gives you three separate builds, one for offensive (solo lane), defensive (duo support), and then the equalizer build. Not only that but you mention high skill-floor, and this is extremely true. Sad as it is, in my various experiences, most Hel's are slow to switch stances (not enough CDR) and fail to land most of their skillshots. Skillshots in themselves are high skill-floor and Hel has tons of them. I love this guide, and I feel it will help many people get better has Hel. On the information alone, I'm going to upvote. Very nice job.
(With the recent addition of lo-rez taking out the choices of making our own personal auto-level, I find it a hassle to have to every single game I play as Hel, take the auto-level off and level up my 1, 3, and then 2. Or whatever the situation needs. But this annoys me greatly, and takes a bit of the fun out of playing Hel when I have to hassle about what skill to level)
Thank you Feldraw, i really liked you neith guide too, but all you needed was some BBCoding to add flare and fun to it ^^.
Hello there! I hope you take this review completely professionally and don't take it personal, and just hear me out, but remember, it's your guide, not mine.
The builds are decent. My biggest problem is that you don't max CDR on all builds, and for a god like Hel, who needs to have a very fluent and consecutive play style and needs to pop out as many heals as possible, it's pretty mandatory.
I think it'd be better if you categorized the items into 'Core Items', 'Defensive Items' & 'Offensive Items', or add 'Situational Items' somewhere. It'll be clearer and more easy to understand.
About actives, I think that
As for the items explanations, I don't think that they are good enough. You should put more emphasis on the reason why this item is a good choice rather than talking about the dry stats, which the reader probably already knows about and can just read it by mousing over the icon. For example, a proper explanaions to
"A standard item for any healer. The healing bonus is too good to give up on, and the rest of the stats also help your survivability."
The skill order is a bit messed up. I can tell you for sure that you'd always want to max out
The skill explanations are non-existent. You shouldn't really copy the skill's description. Readers can just mouse over the icon to read it or probably know it already. What you should explain is when and how to use this skill and tips for using it. For example, in lane, you can use the heal from
Skill combos are great and always welcome.
There's a severe lack of game play in this guide. What are Hel's roles in team fights (and boy, does she have a lot of them), how to play with her, how to clear waves, how does she handle herself throughout the game phases; early, mid and late game, seeing as she has such a bad early game and a superb late game. All just general ideas on which you can write a lot.
All in all, this guide doesn't have enough. The build is decent, but the skill order is kinda messed up, the explanations aren't really good, and there's no gameplay. A downvote from me. I hoped my review helped you.
Thank you Jordenito for your input, it always helps me when someone points out my mistakes so i can try and fix them.
I know the skill descriptions are non-existent, i did it on purpose to see if i should write a description or just put down it's stats
Im learning how to use the Build features still and the skill features in it, when i progress i will improve them.
