Strategy

Gameplan

Early Game

Levels 1–6
  • Ward key jungle entrances and roam with your ADC to secure vision control
  • Play passively while maintaining map awareness; avoid unnecessary skirmishes before level 4

Mid Game

Post Broken Spear
  • Rotate with your carry to secure objectives (Dark Slayer) and create numerical advantages in key areas
  • Position in front of teammates to absorb damage; maintain cooldown awareness for defensive rotations

Late Game

Teamfight phase
  • Stay grouped with your team and initiate fights when your carry has ultimate available
  • Protect your primary damage dealer from assassins; use crowd control to peel threats immediately
Matchups

  • Wiro hero icon

  • Tel'Annas hero icon
    Tel'Annas
    Benefits from Helen's frontline engagement and protection; can farm safely while Helen controls fights
Tips

Pro Tips

  • Map your ability cooldowns mentally; know when you can and cannot frontline based on remaining protection duration
  • Communicate positioning to your carry before fights—positioning 100 units ahead signals your intent to engage
  • Itemize defensively against enemy composition (anti-heal if they have sustain, armor/magic resist based on threats)

Helen is a strong A-tier pick with exceptional 66.7% win rate, making her reliable in ranked play. Her kit provides consistent value through crowd control and team protection, though her low pick rate indicates she thrives as a niche pick into specific comps rather than a blind-pick support. Pick her when your team needs reliable initiation and your carry can capitalize on created opportunities.
