Introduction
Welcome to Method’s Helena guide for Early Access Season 3! I'm Nate, Multi-season rank 1 Tank, and this guide will help you master everything you need to know for Helena!
If you have any questions you can find me on my socials:
Overview
Helena is one of three tanks in the game and focuses on proactively mitigating damage through her mechanic Toughness, as well as other cooldowns. Alongside that her core concept is gaining cooldown reduction on abilities through your rotation.
Strengths:
- Strong defensive cooldowns
- Very powerful utility
Weaknesses:
- Lack of mobility
- Vulnerable if Toughness is poorly managed
