Role & Overview
Role: Fighter/Tank (hybrid). Playable as an EXP laner, roam/tank, or jungler. OFFICIAL
Hilda's power comes from bushes: her passive heals her HP and grants a shield while she's in a bush, letting her play aggressively early to invade and disrupt enemy rotations. Her attacks and skills stack Wilderness Marks that shred enemy defense, and her ultimate leaps onto a target for burst damage plus a stun. She's strongest in the early-to-mid game with constant map pressure, and falls off against true damage or anti-heal.
Skills
| Slot | Name | Effect (qualitative) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passive | Blessing of Wilderness | While in a bush, Hilda regenerates a portion of her Max HP per second and gains a shield on entering one. Her attacks and skills also plant stacking Wilderness Marks on enemies that reduce the target's defense — the core of her sustain and early-game pressure. (Qualitative.) | OFFICIAL |
| Skill 1 | Combat Ritual | Sharply boosts Hilda's Movement Speed for a few seconds and empowers her next basic attack. Used to close gaps, chase, or escape. (Qualitative.) | OFFICIAL |
| Skill 2 | Art of Hunting | Hilda locks onto an enemy and strikes up to three times, each dealing physical damage (with an area/knockback effect on the final hit). Her main repeated-damage tool and a Wilderness Mark stacker. (Qualitative.) | OFFICIAL |
| Ultimate | Power of Wilderness | Hilda leaps toward a single targeted enemy, dealing a large burst of physical damage and a brief stun — the more Wilderness Marks on the target, the harder it hits. Works as both an engage and an execute. (Qualitative.) | OFFICIAL |
Build & Emblem (starting direction)
The build & emblem below are a 2026 META RECOMMENDATION (PROJECTED), compiled from trusted guides (ONE Esports, mlbbhub, 1v9) — a general direction, not absolute. Adjust item order to the matchup and enemy comp. This page is updated each major patch.
Items: Tanky-bruiser core for the 2026 meta: Tough Boots (boots + CC resist) → Thunder Belt (HP + passive burst synergizing with HP build) → Dominance Ice (defense + cuts enemy heal/shield + attack speed) → Athena's Shield / Radiant Armor (vs magic) → Antique Cuirass / Blade Armor (vs physical) → Immortality (revive). For a more aggressive EXP lane, War Axe / Thunder Belt can come earlier to make trades hurt more. (PROJECTED — 2026 meta recommendation.)
Emblem: Tank emblem (HP + hybrid defense + regen) — best for frontlining and bush ambushes. Talents: Agility (Tier 1, movement speed), Tenacity (Tier 2, defense at low HP), Concussive Blast (core — Max-HP-based AoE damage, synergizing with a high-HP build). Aggressive alternative: Assassin emblem (movement speed + penetration + adaptive attack) for a burstier EXP bruiser against squishies. (PROJECTED — 2026 meta recommendation.) Battle spell: Sprint (default roam/EXP), Retribution if played as a jungler, Revitalize/Execute situationally.
How to Counter Hilda
Hilda lives off bush sustain + ultimate burst, so the best counters either punch through her HP or shut down her regen/shield. Here are the 2026 meta-recommended counters (PROJECTED, from ONE Esports + 1v9 + mlbbhub):
Karrie — her passive true damage cuts through Hilda's high HP & defense, and she can kite to keep distance. Dyrroth — gap-closes and shreds physical defense, while Dominance Ice further cuts her regen/shield. Valir — chained CC interrupts Hilda's engage, and Necklace of Durance kills her healing & shields. In general: true-damage heroes, anti-heal/shield-break, and CC that drags Hilda out of bushes are her nightmare. (PROJECTED — 2026 meta recommendation.)
