Strategy
BOUDICA 🔸 The Hellion's primary role a front-line damage dealer with large bursts of damage. Her ability to gain extra damage when Low HP pairs well with her secondary tank role( by having a multitude of self-heals, both for HP and Stress). In addition to tanking and doing damage, it can also serve as a minimum support role but in general Hellion brings large amounts of damage to the team while protecting her teammates with  Taunt.

🔸 SKILLS OVERVIEW


 * Dd2 ability wickedhack.png Wicked Hack is Hellion's front-line Melee attack. Does a respectable amount of damage and doesn't add Winded, combined with Combo can do high amounts of damage enough to kill most enemies in one hit.


 * Dd2 ability ironswan.png Iron Swan respectable melee attack that has the main advantage of hitting rank 4, this is the only way for hellion to hit rank 4 which makes this move very valuable since Back-rank enemies tend to have low  HP.
 * Dd2 ability barbaricyawp.png Barbaric YAWP! support skill that serves the purpose of Weak the enemy and Stun when Combo. If you haave enough combo this move can really shine as a support tool for the team by disrupting and disabling the enemy frontline.


 * Dd2 ability ifitbleeds.png If it Bleeds respectable damage and Bleed attack that hits Rank 2 and Rank 3. The main advantage of this ability is being able to hit the Back-ranks with a good punch (Is the only way to hit rank 3 with Hellion). Requires Hellion to be in rank 2 or 3 which can be disfavorable depending of the team.


 * Dd2 ability toetotoe.png Toe to Toe is the main tank ability of Hellion. GIves Taunt and  Immobilize and Clears  Winded but doesn't give Defensive Tokens like  Block. Hellion's passive makes this a good thing since you want her to be at Low HP,  This ability mixed with Self-healing Skills gives high survivability and protection to other team Members.


 * Dd2 ability adrenalinerush.png Adrenaline Rush amazing Self-heal move . Heals HP, and Removes all DOTS, is only usable when Low HP, besides the main Healing it gives a buff  (Healing on Hit). Combine this with Cleave attacks like Combat Items or Dd2 ability barbaricyawp.png Barbaric Yawp to maximize the more Healing per Turn.


 * Dd2 ability bleedout.png Bleed Out High damage and Bleed skill, can easily achieve high amounts of bleed when spammed. It applies Winded but this is barely a downside since the main damage is the bleed damage (DOTS are unnafected by Winded). HIgh  HP targets can be killed easily with the high amount of dot.


 * Dd2 ability bloodlust.png Bloodlust gives Hellion a 5 turns buff that buffs her Damage against Bleed Targets, doesn't have a cooldown and Clears winded, this gives a potential 100%-150% Extra damage. It requires setup but the amount of damage it can provided combined with other Skills and heroes is worth the effort. (Example: Dd2 ability howlingend.png Howling End, Portraits-jester.pngr)


 * Dd2 ability breakthrough.png Breakthrough Support skill that counters high Block and   Guard matchups at cost of  Winded. (Example: Combat turnorder enemy lost battalion foot soldier.png Batallion). This is the only skill that makes enemies unable to Obtain  Block. Also moves Hellion Forward 2 which is handy for heavy disruptions enemies and Shuffle.


 * Dd2 ability rauciousrevelry.png Raucous Revelry Huge Stress-heal skill that heals when Low HP. it can heal up to 3  + 1  to allies which is enough to prevent Meltdowns. The only downside is the cooldown and it applies  Winded.


 * Dd2 ability howlingend.png Howling End HUGE damage front-line attack that gives Winded. This attack derives a very powerful blow and with trinkets and buffs has the potential to instakill almost every enemy in the game (Exception Bosses).  Moves Hellion Back 1 wich can be used to combo with other moves like Dd2 ability ifitbleeds.png If it Bleeds and Dd2 ability breakthrough.pngthrough
