How to counter Hilda
5 hard counters, 5 soft · 3 counter-items · full Hilda guide
What Hilda is bad at
- No real ranged tool, so long-range poke heroes keep her from ever closing the distance
- Her sustain depends on bush access — open-field fights strip her regen advantage entirely
- Only a short 0.2 second stun on her ultimate, not enough to fully lock a target down alone
- Falls off in prolonged team fights against heroes with true damage or displacement immunity
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.
