## 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**

* **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.

* **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.

* **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.

* **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.

* **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.

* **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  Barbaric Yawp to maximize the more Healing per Turn.

* **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.

* **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:  Howling End, Jester)

* **Breakthrough** Support skill that counters high  Block and  Guard matchups at cost of  Winded. (Example: Lost 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.

* **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.

* **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  If it Bleeds and Breakthrough
