Hilda recovers 2% HP per second while in the bush. Entering a bush enhances her next Basic Attack, which deals 110 (+130% Total Physical Attack) (+12*Hero Level) Physical Damage to the target, reduces the target's Movement Speed by 40%, and deals 40 (+100% Total Physical Attack) (+10*Hero Level) Physical Damage to enemies behind the target. After using the enhanced Basic Attack, this effect enters a 6s cooldown.
Hilda's Basic Attack and skills apply a Wilderness Mark on hit, which lasts up to 4s and stacks up to 6 times. Each stack reduces the enemy hero's Physical Defense and Magic Defense by 3%.
Gameplay guide
Hilda is a roam or EXP-lane fighter-tank who regenerates in bushes and empowers her next bush-prepared basic attack. Every basic attack and skill applies a Wilderness Mark that lowers both defenses; Power of Wildness gains maximum-HP damage per mark and reaches a 20% maximum-HP bonus at six stacks.
Enter and leave bushes to regenerate and prepare the enhanced attack, then use Combat Ritual's movement and shield to pressure the enemy jungle without dying for a camp. Apply marks with the empowered attack and Art of Hunting, forcing the opposing core to respond while your team gains farm or objective space.
Approach from brush, stack as many of six marks as possible, and use Power of Wildness only after the target is meaningfully prepared or must be finished immediately. The third Art of Hunting hit knocks nearby enemies back, so angle it to disrupt rather than scatter a target away from allies.
Scout edges through bush regeneration and threaten a carry without running into five visible enemies. Hilda can absorb attention, but a lost front-liner before Lord is still costly. When a full assassination is unavailable, use defense-reducing marks on the enemy front line for allied damage and preserve the ultimate for the right health threshold.
End an invade after forcing a rotation; surviving in a bush preserves pressure better than trading your life for another short poke.
Step into a bush between trades long enough to refresh Blessing of Wilderness, then return before the opponent can freely clear the wave.
Check Power of Wildness stacks before spending the ultimate; forcing it at low stacks gives up much of the execution threat.

The bush-enhanced Basic Attack, three Art of Hunting hits, and two additional Basic Attacks apply six Wilderness Marks. Use Power of Wildness only after all six marks are present so it gains its full 20% maximum-HP bonus.
