==Notes==
*If Hildryn wields her signature /, the weapon gains 300 more Ammo Maximum in Atmospheric mode, for a total of 700.
*Hildryn has the second highest base shields out of all Warframes (1,380 unranked and 1,880 at rank 30), behind .
**When taking overshields into consideration, Hildryn is the Warframe with the third highest base total shield value, behind , , and .
*Hildryn, along with , boasts the lowest base energy out of all Warframes in the game, having none at all.
*Any abilities subsumed on Hildryn require ten times their energy cost in shields to cast.
*While piloting a Railjack, Hildryn will use her own shields in place of energy to power the Railjack's activated abilities. 
**The cost in shields is ten times that of the cost in energy. Furthermore, each usage of an ability increases that abilities' cost by an increment proportional to its cost; after the last use of the ability the cost will begin to decline until it reaches the original value. 
**The speed of reduction is the same for most or all Railjack abilities resulting in longer wait times for higher cost abilities while lower cost abilities are restored within a few seconds.
==Tips==
*As a Warframe with large Shield capacity, Hildryn gains a lot of benefits from and Arcane Enhancements affecting Shields, namely and .
*Hildryn is relatively more vulnerable against status, especially in The Steel Path as a single hit while being under Magnetic proc can deplete all her shield and prevent her from immediately using until the shield is partially replenished.
**Keep an eye out for Eximus Energy Leech/Parasitic, Thrax Centurion and Thrax Legatus as they can easily inflict Magnetic proc during an intense battle.
** can potentially increase her survivability.
*As with other Warframes with high shield values, Hildryn also benefits well from , essentially increasing the amount of damage her shields can absorb.
*Hildryn can absorb a higher amount of damage while being airborne with , by equipping , and/or .
**This can be further increased by the Boreal's set bonus, equipping and in Hildryn and in a Polearm.
*Hildryn's lack of energy makes her an ideal Warframe to use in missions where energy regeneration would be severely hampered, such as in Nightmare Mode missions with the Energy Drain modifier, or Energy Reduction Modifiers in Sorties.
**Conversely, Hildryn should not be brought on missions that severely affect shields, such as the No Shields Nightmare Mode modifier.
**In Rathuum and The Index where Tenno start with no energy, Hildryn can immediately utilize her abilities.
*Hildryn's reliance on shields instead of energy for abilities means that she does not suffer from energy loss caused by energy drain attacks and abilities, such as from Parasitic Eximus units and Sensor Bars.
**Conversely, due to her lack of energy, all energy interactions other than energy orbs provide no benefit for her, such as 's , , /, /, , or .
*Having a Sentinel/MOA (Companion) with can allow for Hildryn's shields to instantly recharge upon depletion, effectively resetting her Shield Wall passive.
**Equipping is also useful for boosting shield regeneration and providing temporary additional shields and overshields.
**Both and have a cooldown of 30 seconds.
*Hildryn has significantly reduced effectiveness against the Infested as they often lack armor or shields for her to and replenish her own shields.
**This weakness can be circumvented with or .
*Despite the caveats, Hildryn's passive ability allows for a dramatic increase in the frequency of Railjack ability use. Mods increasing max shields and the rate of shield regeneration further increase this advantage.
