ASSR Awakened Hilde

Awakened Hilde is a wall. The strongest, sturdiest, and most annoying wall in the game. Sadly, her biggest problem is that she's nothing else besides being a wall. While other Defenders help the team in other ways besides staying alive and keeping the backline safe, Awakened Hilde is too selfish to care about them and keeps charging forward - sometimes even to her utter demise from outspacing her own healers.

She is by no means a bad employee. Whenever you encounter a PVE stage where your units die too fast, just drop A. Hilde first and she will carry you due to her 5% MDL, barriers, and her crazy high HP/DEF stats. The problem is, a wall is not just what new players need. Sure, while she will do the job and stay alive, other Awakened employees can not only do the same, but they can also deal damage simultaneously.

It's worth noting, though, that recently her PVE stock rose - she's commonly used in Dive 48-50 teams, even auto for some players. There are very few tanks that can achieve this and Hilde makes it the easiest among them.

In PVP, she also works great in lower elo ranks as most players there simply do not have the means to stop her. The same applies for new servers - no one has any gear and there are not many units that can even hope to chip her. Later on though, while she becomes less viable, she still remains usable.

MDL = Max Damage Limit or DMG Taken Limit is a stat that only appears on SSR rarity Defenders. How does it work? For example, if an employee has 10% MDL it means that any hit that does more damage than 10% of his max HP, will have the part exceeding the MDL value lowered by 80%. This prevents Defenders with MDL from being one-shot by skills/ultimates.

A way to counter MDL is to use employees with great ASPD like Administration Rifleman, Ifrit, or Millia Rage.
