Helena/Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate costumes

The following are the costumes available to Helena Douglas in the 2013 title, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate.

At the start of the game, Helena has eleven different costumes, with two being available from the start, and the remaining nine costumes being unlocked through either Arcade Mode, Time Attack Mode, or Survival Mode.

Helena's costumes are unlocked in the order listed, regardless of the difficulty and mode played. For the tag team option, both characters will unlock a costume, and all of the costumes can be unlocked even from courses that were already cleared.

With the release of the downloadable costumes, Helena was given eighteen different DLC costumes, adding her total up to twenty-nine costumes.
