Hilda is a shooting character who fights so that the opponent won't get close to her. She has long ranged disjointed-normals with good priority and she can attack with various tools: shooting her Skewer from either ground or air, using charged 5C and Fallen Pain as overhead moves, or aim low with Revenance Pillar. Restrain the opponent with Fallen Pain, or raise the opponent airborne with Revenance Pillar and combo from it using moves like Interference. She has various tools for okizeme, like Condense Gloom.
However, Hilda's tools of used carelessly can easily render her to be quite easy to beat out, as she is very space dependent. Not being mindful of how Hilda's tools work outside of their intended range can easily leave foes to expose her gaps and punish her effectively, especially for some of her traps if set too close and past her opponent. Hilda despite her powerful zoning control requires much precision to maintain her neutral game with, and cannot afford to be too willy-nilly with her options.
