Bellona Build

Final build example

Notes Berserker's Shield needs to be your first or second item. If you rush it you will be a lot slower due to not having boots so I would recommend getting boots then Berserker's but I guess that's down to personal preference. Replace the boots with Elixir of Speed and any other item from Situational, Additional o your choice depends on enemy team comp.

Core items

Notes The lifesteal is ridiculous and you can sustain through any team fight while hitting like a truck with Berserker's. I have put Stone cutting Sword as core as I feel the added protections it gives you are very valuable when it comes to the later portions of the game. Also it will help reduce the protections of enemy gods as there is often at least one defensive item on a god build which this weakens.

Introduction.

So this is the first guide I have ever done an i hope you enjoy/ have some fun with my bellona jungle build. I am aware that this is an off meta pick but it has worked very well for me and I wanted to share it with you all.

So why bellona?

I picked Bellona for this build as she has amazing jungle camp clear given to her from her 2 and is generally a very versatile pick. Though she does have limited mobility she makes up for that in team fight potential. Furthermore eagle rally is very good for ganks as it can stun them and give you time to lock them in place with your other abilities and delete them in seconds. She is also a decent threat to the enemy junglers as she is very tanky and her passive allows her to trade with them with very little drawbacks. One thing i have noticed is that a lot of enemy junglers will not try to start a fight with a b Bellona this tends to give you a lot of freedom in the jungle. Although I might have been luckier in that respect than those of you who will try this.

Ability breakdown

Her 1 is used for trading and is especially good if used directly after the 3 for a disarm into slow allowing you to deal heavy damage and really punish those basic attack focused junglers like Kali. it is also her only mobilty outside of her ult so can help close the distance when blink is down.

Her 2 is her main form of clear as it deals respectable damage and gives her basic attacks a cleave effect this really helps clear the jungle camps and get you ahead in farm as you get to ganking faster. It also works well with Berserker's Shield to get good healing and mana regen this reduces the need for pots and allows you to heal quite fast in the jungle. Much like Pele with her passive when it is active.

Her 3 is used for engaging, poke damage/securing a kill and for even more sustain. The disarm is nice as it can get a lot of value in shutting them down for even a second.

Her 4 is team fight and ganking as hearing RomaInvicta while in lane facing your opponent is quite terrifying and will often lead to your target dying before any kind of help can arrive and getting your laner ahead.

You say Jungle is off-meta pick, but it's generally considered a viable role (Same as Erlang, Osiris) for Bellona as opposed to say... ADC, which is also a role Bellona could work in, but generally only if your Solo is a hunter (although CycloneSpin had an SPL match in Season 5 where he went Bellona ADC without a hunter in solo).

Also add Magi's Cloak as situational.

Alternative suggestions:

https://smiteprobuilds.com/Builds?p_filters_page=1&p_filters_search=&p_filters_god=2047&p_filters_pro=~&p_filters_opponent=~&p_filters_role=Jungle&p_filters_league=~&p_filters_sort=~

Also don't get Soul Eater on Bellona. You won't need executioner either for jungle role in most situations, get Stone Cutting Sword instead.

Thank you for your suggestions I have tested the build with the suggestions you gave and have found it to be a lot more effective than before. Hence I have amended my guide with your suggestions and my own further testing.

You’re not going to add Void Shield or Crusher?
