Notes is better overall, but late, you can't really replace it without losing the AS. In that case keep it, or replace it with shogun's to avoid to have 2.0 AS for 2 levels. The "short term" item.
early sustain and faster to come back, pretty good boots, can be replaced late by winged blade or relic dagger, giving you some extra speed, HP and uility. The "long term" item.

Bellona's Skill Order Notes The 5 early levels are important, after that, level up adapting to your needs, but mostly the 3 and 1 for quick poke, as your 2 will be cancelled often, and you want to stick to people. Having the 3 maxed so early gives for high damage instant poke and a long disarm.

About picking bellona support

1: that's a fun build, not an efficient one, it's for casuals.
2: i'm a brainlet and forgot frostbound also had an AS reduction which doesn't have an use cause WB.

Any reason to do so? Not really. But why not?

Bellona support doesn't play like other supports. You don't have to spend much time in duo, you must roleplay a toxic jungler that holds W to near death. Roam around the map, slap and poke anyone in sight, steal buffs, gank... in short create space for your team to get a huge lead.

Stack pots and max the 3 and sustain as much as possible. Then hold W at people and setup and secure kills. You will do a ton of damage for a support, especially in the early game where you can almsot kill people with a 1-2-3 combo.

Bait as much as possible make them waste ults, relics, mana on you, weaken them for your team. Don't try to take towers or objective too much tho, you do potato damage to those.

You are aware that the attack speed reduction from witchblade and frostbound do not stack?

azekill_DIABLO | June 9, 2020 6:38am
nope.
EDIT: well WB 20% slow overrides FB that sucks. No idea how to get a slow now... And WB is like the core item of the build...

Go witchblade and either ichaival or midgardian.

Or, Frostbound, and either ichaival or midgardian.

With some thought and testing you can still probably come up with something. seems like shogun's kind of doesn't fit for how you described to play with this build. If you aren't around your team very much(as it sounds) from your description then any AA focused teammates you have aren't really benefitting from the passive. Then, if there aren't really any AA focused teammates it really isn't all that helpful.

Maybe oni's would be a better pick there or maybe you could get a genji's early and pick something like spectral/nemean late as an extra physical counter. In conquest it seems typically i see players talk about building physical protections early but genji's would give you extra mp5, some health, and give you extra cooldown early which would probably be helpful with your harrassing and in and out style). I'm pretty sure that Genji's is not a popular pick on her in conquest in any mode if i am not mistaken, but you have your own thing you're doing so maybe it could work for you.

If anything, since you are a casual player and you are already doing something out of the box, maybe you can tweak it again with some thought to still do what you want to do. I wouldn't be discouraged if you even have to come up with a different build concept that would still allow you to do what you want to do. I think plenty of people on here have had to do that at one point or another at least once.

I don't play anything but arena but based on feedback i have gotten from regular players of conquest and other modes here are my thoughts as someone who has played 617 matches with Bellona. I am not using that as a bridge to say i am some great Bellona player, but i play her pretty decently usually and have gathered a lot of experience using her in those matches with all kinds of builds.

I would say that if you are getting physically destroyed by any god early, early physical defense is a thing. I don't really feel like arachne is all that great of a threat to bellona. you can plan for her if it looks like she'll be a problem by building defense earlier and even if you don't if you are aware of her and hit her with scourge for the disarm and you can either dash away if you feel in danger and/or still build midgardian and/or frostbound late(although getting both i believe is frowned upon because you could get something else with more utility or defense to help you for that extra slot you are using for slows when one should be enough). If she is such a problem to you then you could definitely go aegis to give you some extra time for scourge and/or dash to get away.

Building more movement by building boots would be one of the best clear ways to make up for movement discrepencies. Winged and Witchblade, i thought should have already been nerfed, and if not will be next week if i am not mistaken so they will only give you 7% movement speed each for a total of 14% between both items. To start the game when the nerf hits you will only have 7% movement speed, so i don't know that you will get much benefit out of the double slows since you will be so slow. Even after getting your last item your base movement will be at least 4% less than anyone else running boots. Even before nerf you are only at 10% base movement compared to 18% for every enemy with boots and then if they build movement you are even at more of a disadvantage.

In arena if I have a problematic arachne, i usually build attack speed late to pair with my defenses early and coupled with scourge i usually don't have a problem with arachne unless they jump me when running from another battle or i get attacked by multiple enemies. This is support, so building attack speed wouldn't really be a thing..but then again what i see here doesn't look like it would be either.

So this build should definitely be considered a frustration/troll build (and Bell Supp is also funky). El Leon can get away with this due to skill level, but note a couple of other things...based a bit on El Leon's gameplay video.

He started the game by solo invading and trying to steal Speed (which he didn't do). That is now more difficult due to the early-game area debuff for invades.

Also, this isn't what you would call support, at least in the current sense, as he doesn't ever really go to the Duo lane.

Finally, Witch and other dagger items are getting MS nerfs. Slight, but will make this a bit less effective.

I can see this being annoying and potentially effective against a team not expecting this, but would expect this to be outclassed by a true supp, at least in ability to apply CC etc.

I was leaning more in thought to this possibly being a troll build as well, but I wanted to at least try and be supportive and offer suggestions in case it is not. I offered some similar input to you on the movement speed issues and my own funky takes and thoughts on why they'd probably be funky in conquest, seeing as i am an arena only player basically.

It seems like he is receptive to feedback and maybe looking at how he can modify/change it based on his comment to Kriega's original post

Quick reply about boots, look under the final build: you are supposed to get boots then replace them with what you want as last item, preferably winged blade. Also I did **** on the items I copied the wrong build order from my notes ;-;

ok, fair enough...i don't have enough knowledge other than base character and item knowledge/changes for any other feedback so hopefully the rest of the input from the smitefire community will be gentle.

I hope you'll enjoy this build. It's most likely gonna raise the F6 ratio by 10% alone.
If you want to see a good player playing a similar build with a very aggressive strategy I suggest this video!
