Unfortunately, Hilda def looks low tier. As a tourney player that worries me. Her defensive options are HORRIBLE, teleport almost useless, and movement (not that she needs to move a lot) is pretty bad compared to the rest of the cast.
her best defense is throwing swords to stop the opponent's pressure before they get in.
Still I can't resist playing this char. I love her playstyle, attitude when she is fighting, and what I know of her story.
I'm sure she will be better in the inevitable update. (Which I really do hope they continue to support this game with updates!!!!)
We need to start figuring out what to do to help offset her defensive disabilities...
