This Helryx design is based around a toa Mata torso, while adding slightly more height to bring it closer to the scale of a typical Inika or Glatorian style Toa.
I am also operating under the assumption that this represents Helryx “in her prime”.
At the point she was found by Takanuva, she had lived through thousands upon thousands of years of battle, reducing her to her more frail, weaker state.
This is backed up by descriptions by Greg Farshtey himself.
The build itself is fairly simple.

I’m so glad you posted here! I’m sorry if I was being a bit pushy on Reddit. I’ve loved so many of the designs in this contest, it’s just that this one is almost exactly how I’ve always pictured Helryx to look like. Good luck throughout the rest of the contest!
I’ve been looking back through the Helryx contest entries, and while I’m happy with the results, there are a lot of MOCs, like this one that I regret not voting for.
The shield is maybe a tad bit too small, but I really like everything else!
