Without said techs she would be garbage. There are plenty of defenses though. It's worth noting that hand slaps result in a psuedo tech, not a true tech. The first thing you can do, if knocked down, is tech yourself. Since most of her quickest followup options are linear, sidestepping after you tech is a good bet. The second is to space and keep her out of your face because her ability to get in on you isn't the best and the third is to block more and wait to punish. She's unsafe and slow and lacks any unblockable moves or unbreakable throws. People are too quick to throw out phrases like "no real defense against that."
Here's a nice example of anti-Helena play. It's not flawless either, which just goes to show you don't need to be a Jedi master to beat somebody playing Helena.
Gimmie a sec here.
