Summary:
Long vertical attacks from the spear and shorter horizontal attacks from the sword. Hilde uniquely has the ability to “charge” buttons by keeping attack buttons pressed and also has power-ups for each weapon, requiring a lot of planning and awareness to play effectively.
Description:
Hilde is capable utilizing her sword at short range and her spear at long range, giving her great control over the space. Her horizontal charged attacks are probably the best in whole game and allows her to pin opponent down, especially upclose.
Strengths:
- great neutral and movement controll
- one of best backdashes in the game
- very high combo damage
Weakness:
- button charges, while strong, defectively locks out significant part of her movelist when held
- have one of weakest Soul Charges in the game
- her long range attacks are very linear
Unique mechanic:
First of all, she is able to hold her A or B buttons pressed, releasing very powerful attacks upon release. This “negative edge” mechanic defines her gameplay and properly utilizing charges versus normal moves is critical for the success.
Her second mechanic is closely tied with her first one: if she hit any of her charged attacks, those of her weapons she used became charged. This charges can be spent later on in order to amplify some of her attacks.
