Why these matchups go this way

A second opinion written by AI from each hero's kit (shown separately from the main matrix, so it may not match it exactly).

🟢 Hela beats easily

Doctor Strange Her shield-breaking and anti-heal cancel exactly the two defenses his game relies on.
Groot Same problem: she breaks the wall and shuts off any sustain the team tries behind it.
Cloak & Dagger Her anti-heal shuts off exactly the constant sustain that defines this support duo.

🔴 Hela struggles against

Spider-Man His mobility puts him on top of her before she can keep a safe distance.
Black Panther Same problem: a direct dive against a ranged duelist with little answer up close.
Psylocke Her fast gap-closing cancels the range advantage that defines Hela's playstyle.
