Hel is a very niche product. It's an UR base. Conversely it's not for the hardcore player because the stats are very even and it doesn't have a very strong skill.

Hel might be cheaper than other URs but it still costs around 350 pots. That's about $500 per card. $2,000 minimum to complete it. That's enough to buy a deck full of MRs. But if you're a hardcore player, you don't care about MRs. You make a UR deck which will cost tens of thousands. If you're popping tens of thousands of dollars on this game then you take this game pretty seriously and won't settle for second best.

As a hardcore player, you'd want to make dedicated ATK and DEF decks. You'd also want a card with a skill that would work in effectively in all circumstances. Like Warcry, Guard Order or Lure of Love. Hateful Justice won't reliably work on all decks. If it had Flag of Victory then Hel would be really good because the only other UR with FoV is Dragon Princess which is more DEF focused. Hel would still have a place in the deck because FoV is just imba because it stacks with Warcry.

The only people I can see who might buy into Hel are people who are transitioning from MR to UR. But then, Hel isn't much stronger than the good MRs. You'd be paying $2,000 for a marginal improvement which is silly. You may as well spend a bit more to get a more significant improvement.
