Hellion

Hellion: roles, tradeoffs, and a practical party-building checklist.

Updated 10/5/2026Source-backed editorial base · v1

Overview

The Hellion can threaten the rear with Iron Swan from the required position, mixing damage with control. Some skills penalize the hero herself; repeated control can reduce offensive pressure.

Build a plan, not a tier-list slot

Keep her at the front when a distant enemy is the priority and read penalties before repeating a skill. Before entering, answer three questions: who removes a dangerous backline enemy, who keeps a wounded ally alive before their next turn, and who restores a displaced formation? If this hero cannot cover one of those needs, assign it to another party member. A strong individual skill is not enough when the other heroes lose their actions after its movement.

Before the expedition

  • Keep her at the front when a distant enemy is the priority and read penalties before repeating a skill.
  • Check usable ranks and target ranks for each equipped skill in your current game version.
  • Choose four combat skills for this expedition; do not assume every unlocked skill is equipped.
  • Recheck trinkets, skill upgrades, and the party's formation after movement.
