Queen of the dead. Hel ranked joust (3v3) guide (s4)

Hi guys, this is my first guide and i wish to be useful for you. I chose Hel because is my favourite god and i want share my style of play to you. Let's go to guide!.

Hel is the first stance-switching god in smite. Stance-switching gods are those that have the special ability of changing between different attack patterns, forms or abilities back and forth, usually at will. These abilities are often integral parts of a god's kit. Her Light stance give to team a good support work while the Dark stance give her the power needed to be a nightmare for the enemies.

PROS
High sustain
High damage
good mobility
Good lane clean


CONS
squishy
Early hungry of mana
high skill cap

STANCE ATTUNEMENT
Her passive need 3s to full charge the stance power, when it work you have more power in dark stance and more healing in light stance


DECAY
Hel fire a projectile linear target orb. It will explode and do AOE damage if hits an enemy or hits its range limit.


RESTORATION
Restoration is projectile linear target orb. You can hit an ally to heal him and at the same time heal yourself


HINDER
Hinder is a ground AOE Debuff that reduces enemy Magical Protection and slows them.


CLEANSE
Cleanse is a ground AOE cc immunity for your team


REPULSE
Repulse a ground AOE ability. This is her highest damage ability


INSPIRE
Inspire is AOE heal ability and give to your team a good movement speed buff


Switch Stances
This ability allows you to switch stance. It give you more MP5 and a different buff while you are in a stance:
Dark stance-you have more magical power
Light stance-you have more physical and magical protection

Perfect start for her because give you cooldown reduction and provide additional MP5 for missing mana. In early game, having this starter and mana buff, you can stay in lane for a very long time.


She really need mana in early game and this can really help you. Cooldown is needed to be more fast and give a full support to your team.


Hel is very squishy early game so this item can help you to stay alive and fight their ADC. It give you more cooldown reduction, Mana and MP5. I think this is a must item for Hel in ranked Joust


best item for all healer gods. It give you power, movement speed and make your healer abilities more potent


Penetration is perfect word for Hel. This is very good item and in combo with Hinder can be really painful for enemies


Good 5th item because give you a good power and good magical protection and his passive help you to do more damage combinate with Hinder


Best magical damage item in the game. All mages need this to reach the highest damage


lotus crown
Good alternative to void stone. It make your healer ability very potent and give you some power and protection.


Another good alternative to void stone if you dont like last. Good power some protection and additional cooldown reduction


Alternative item to rod of tahuti. High damage, penetration and cooldown reduction. Very good to do significant damage.


Another good alternative last item if you dont like mine. It give you a high burst damage when you engage also give you additional mana.


Take this instead obsidian shard when you fight a healer. it give you good penetration and power and decrease enemy heal

Cleanse cant help you versus Medusa's petrify


can save your life

Meditation cloak
can help you and your team in early game.


really good in team fight combinate with hinder

Try to be in the right stance at the right time because switch stance need 1.4 seconds to be ready again, and that can be fatal to you or your team.

Hel's damage combo is: 2,1,3,4,1,3(2 only if needed). try to use this So wise because is your anti cc ability.
in support time you can heal with your 3,2

when you fight gods like Ares, xing tian, medusa etc. try to cleanse (2) your team on their ultimate. This can give you victory because breaking their combo, your team can start counterattack.

In joust ranked (3v3) You will always be against their hunter.
MID GAME
You are very squishy and their ADC can easy kill you, so, try to play safe. Try to help your team with your support abilities and try to be annoying with your hinder, decay and clean lane with repulse. try to preserve your mana because you are very hungry, so get potion, chalice and mana buff.

MID GAME
After get the first 3 items you can be kinda aggressive but still play safe. try to stay behind your tank

LATE GAME
Now is your time to be a nightmare! When Hel get full build she can kill very easily and can be really hard to kill so you can rush to kill everytime you need.

Hel has difficulty playing versus anti-healers
her bad matchup are:
Odin. This is really hard to counter with her, specially for his Ring of spears, it have 100% healing reduction. You can fight him by first buying Breastplate of valor and after the Obsidian shard. Phantom veil can really help you, but is very hard matchup.

Chaac. Another anti-healing ultimate, his storm call silence you for 3 second, That is a certain death. You can try to cleanse his ultimate but it can be really hard matchup

Chang'e. This is not to much bad, but can be very annoying for her moonflower dance because it do 50% healing reduction. you have to heal after 4 seconds she hitted you. Divine ruin can help you fight with her
