Faora shows blink speed, and dodging an m16's muzzle velocity requires at least 3,150 feet per second of speed. Hela has never gone that fast. I also don't know how Hela's spikes would penetrate Kryptonian metal.
A. Plate armor neutralized light blades such as swords historically, because metal can't cut through metal (unless it's sheet) and a piercing strike glances off the curvature of the plating.
B. The gravity on Krypton is higher (by comic values, by a factor of 8x). Because of this, their metal's density would be much higher and consequently, heavier and pretty much impenetrable because of its density and MPa strength. Steel here on Earth has a compressive strength (resists being pushed in) of 250 MPa at room temperature, or 36,000 lbs/square inch. Multiply that by 8, and you get 288,000 lbs/square inch. If Hela raises spikes from the ground, the rock won't do anything to armor like that. I have yet to see a biomaterial that's hard enough to pierce such dense and force resistant material, so I don't imagine that her self produced spikes will do anything either. Just to prove it:
If her spikes weigh 10kg (over 6x heavier than a typical historical sword), and she accelerates it at a rate of 2,000 m/s^2 (HUNDREDS of times faster compared to on screen time and twice as fast as our m16's muzzle velocity), then...
F = ma
F = 10kg x 2,000 m/s^2
F = 20,000 Newtons
20,000 Newtons = 4,500 lbs. This unrealistically heavy and fast spike is 64x too little to penetrate the armor even if Hela hits her with it.
Granted, Hela could always aim for the face shield, but Faora dodges bullets and Hela's spikes don't get thrown as fast, so...
