Hilda is one of the heroes that shines after the Project Next Patch. The new system that emphasizes the importance of a jungler also gives way for some of the heroes that have anti-jungler abilities to be more oftenly used. Hilda is one of those heroes because of her passive and her other abilities that also makes her one of the best roamer in the game currently.

Gameplay & Rotation
As a roamer, you can immediately go to the enemy's jungle area. Hide in the bush near the buff and try to delay the enemy to get the buff.
Your goal for the game: To delay the farm of enemy core heroes.
Be mindful of the time the next buff will appear so that you can position yourself again to delay the enemy in getting the buff. Much better if your team can even steal it.
While waiting for the indicator that the buff will appear, you can provide vision to your allies. Check bushes for your core heroes to protect them against ambush.
Tips and Tricks
1. Her basic skill combo is:
Skill 1 (to approach the target) > use enhance basic attack (to inflict slow effect) > use skill 2 (to deal damage 3 times) > then finish it with ultimate skill
2. Prioritize skill 1 over skill 2 to shorten its cooldown and increase its damage output every time you increase its level.
3. Your passive skill will save you most of the times. Utilize the bush. When you hide in the bush, you will regenerate health and can even get a shield every now and then.
4. The enhanced basic attack from skill 1 also works against turrets.
5. Her ultimate skill can be activated not only on heroes but also on jungle monsters even the turtle but not the lord.
