This might almost be a serviceable glass cannon Bell build, but the only attack speed item you have is ...if you commit to basic attacks, you probably want more AS (at least get ).

That said...Bell shouldn't be built glass cannon. She's a tank, and she wants/needs tanky items. I couldn't recommend this to anyone looking to have general success with her.

I believe I achieved a better tank build for bell.

(143) |

But it's just a generic tank build....

and? it was said to build tanky so i built tanky...

Ira...if you're proposing builds, what's your purpose here? What are you looking to achieve? Just making something? Or providing something that's functional to potentially help others? A build for a tank needs to be tanky with a purpose.

You're not taking advantage of Bellona's kit at all here. You've got 1 CDR item, and it's built at the end of your list.
Clarify this isn't for Conquest, since you're using Defender's Blessing (which, by the way, is just not a good item right now. See my items guide writeup, where I rate the various items.
Hide of the Nemean Lion...before I describe anything else here, would like to hear why you've chosen it, and why you feel it's a good fit in this position.
Pestilence is a great item...but it's also...well...let's see how you respond to Nemean first.
Mystical Mail isn't a great item for her. You'd probably be better served with Breastplate of Valor if you need physical protection.
You've got Aegis Amulet and Purification Beads in here...and Meditation Cloak, which I know you've clarified in other posts is just a pickup for Assault. That's fine...but in your build title or the writeup, at least describe the mode(s) the build is meant for.

and tbh... smitefire is my own way of recording my builds for when hirez deltes everything... which pisses me off to no end each season.

(143) |

How about instead of recording builds you learn how to build the character instead which is much more useful and lets you adapt to multiple situations.

(394) |

I can understand that. One thing to note, if it's more for you, then you also have the option of not publishing. Save it, and it'll show up in your personal builds list.

(1) |

i want to delete them all tbh... but i cant... -sigh-

(143) |

You can archive them yourself in the edit menu. These builds can still be viewed by you by your profile page.

Would save everyone here a lot of headaches.

(143) |

Yes please I agree, save the build as a draft in it's unholy state but never publish it for the innocent playerbase to witness.

Or maybe add "noob" build in the title if you publish it. Either works.

(17) |

Lmao that was rude, but honestly really funny to read

(394) |

Just to be clear, Kriega, please back off on comments to Ira...at least be more civil, frustrations notwithstanding.

Ira, if the builds are basically just for you, I would in fact suggest going to each of those builds and clicking the archive button. That'll make it still available for you to view,but will take it off the radar of general search.

I'm also okay with you keeping your builds up, but would definitely suggest listening or at least asking questions when people make specific suggestions to improve your builds. You have the right not to follow what is suggested, and you shouldn't be subjected to harassment, but there are definitely major flaws with the majority of your builds,at least from my perspective, and you should expect feedback that is critical (though not harassing).

I'm always willing to explain if you ask. But understand that us regulars have been trying to improve the overall quality of builds on the site. We want it to be a place where new players (and even experienced players) can go and get reliable information. We're willing to work with you to help you better understand too.

(1) |

Thank you. My goal to eventually have builds posted that are not completely meta but are still nice to use in general with no real specific mode in mind. That being said... I had edited this build and I am not sure of all the items to replace and why they should be used in place of the items i have chosen.

(1) |

nemean bc it offers one of the highest phys prot and lashed phys damage bac kto the dealer... as for mytical... if i remember correctly it has high prot as well and does tick damage when the enemy is with x distance...

(394) |

Nemean is an item that reflects basic attack damage. It's also more effective against crits. At the stage you're looking to build, people won't have full crits up (if they even build crits at all). It's a better late game item, and it's a counter item, not a standard item. You shouldn't be building it every game.

Even then, it's arguable that is a better option at that late stage, due to the MS/AS slow. Different type of counter to basic attackers.

And so it's that point I'm getting at. It's a counter item. When you don't list any other alternative items, it really shouldn't be in there...or at least not that early. It's not core.

And it's the same for Pest and Mystical. Pest is a counter to magical healing. You may not always need that stat. Counter, not core.

As for Mystical (Kriega), I guess I just don't like the item all that much on most gods...for Guan it serves a specific purpose, and it obviously makes some sense on gods like Cu...but I often just think there are better items out there. I understand it can work okay on her...just not my pref.

Guess doesen't want any extra pressure in lane and/or diving the backline lategame huh?

(394) |

@Ira: at least this one was directed at me.

@Kriega: going to take this one literally, just because. Soooo...you're saying..."doesn't want ANY extra pressure in lane and/or diving the backline lategame."

Soooo...if you don't buy , there is nothing you can do to create extra pressure in-lane by going with other aggressive hybrid items...

And...you're not allowed to dive the backline if you don't have Mystical. It's uncouth behavior and flat out illegal. HR will ban you if you even attempt it without Mystical.

Because it's the only item you can use to dive the backline. A nice ult drop onto the ADC with which slows them, or , or whatever else doesn't allow you to dive the backline with any form of pressure.

Thank goodness for Mystical, which will give me around 100 DAMAGE EVERY 5 SECONDS on a squishy god at level 20. And even then, it's not so much the crazy damage output it's providing...that pulse disrupts the space-time continuum and creates ACTUAL PRESSURE that will eventually explode their brains.

Guess all these pros who DIDN'T build Mystical (over half of them on the first page) also didn't want any extra pressure in lane, or to dive the backline either.

(basically...just making fun of your use of absolutes)

I just said I don't prefer it. I didn't say it wouldn't work, you know.

huh... it's as if I didn't say "extra pressure", and without saying there isn't other viable choices.

All valid points, though may I mention you can have mystical and nemian in the same build as you can sell Beserkers' lategame...

Nice try but you didn't set the filter to solo lane.

(394) |

Oh dammit, forgot that XD

But still...still, in Solo, at least half didn't build Myst. And none of the Junglers did.

DAMMIT, I HAVE A RIGHT NOT TO PREFER MYSTICAL.

(143) |

Didn't really expect it to be built in jungle though, as you wouldn't really need it or get away with building it. I was talking in terms of solo lane.

(1) |

if oyu aren't going to be constructive please at least stop being rude in all your comments and get off my builds and stop commenting. >:/

(71) |

I guess it's easy a penguin fly than he stops being rude :v

(1) |

I guess but I've about had it with all his nsarky comments. it's jsut spam to me and distracting from productive comments thta are actually helping me to learn!

(143) |

Actually you're being the insulting one by not updating your Rama build (among others) using my advice when we already told you that the second update wasn't sufficient enough to be of decent quality. If that's too hard to comprehend for you consider uploading your builds to Smitguru instead so you don't need to have any responsibility for the builds you upload.

(4) |

I can understand how you feel, but that's just Kriega. He can be a bit crass and even downright rude, but I'm pretty sure he's just trying to help but since he's seen so many bad builds and ran into so many people who dismiss his comments despite his knowledge, he just decided that being blunt works better. I don't think he has anything against you, he just doesn't know how to express it in any other way. I'm probably wrong and I'm sure he'll come in and tell me but that's my take.

(1) |

One cna be blunt without being snarky and condescending... on my janus build his only comment was about how bad all my builds were... not constructive... just snarky and rude...

(143) |

I was rude as you didn't just create 1 or 2 bad builds you made like 20. Literally gave me a heart attack when I saw them all.

(1) |

still not a reason to be rude tbh... :/ be constructive...

(394) |

Heart attacks are serious things...

(143) |

Yeah man I have to have Toffee ice cream to deal with that stuff.

(1) |

You can ignore ignore my build kreiga... just like i am gonna start doing to your comments. Bye!

(71) |

Yeah, he was born this way. I just think you are being too kind with this "a bit".

(143) |

Hahahaha you make out as if im some outcast specimen.

(394) |

(71) |

You have to focus on productive comments. There always will be people trying to remove your focus, but, if you really want to learn, focus on what metter, and explore other guides, builds, ask everything you want...we are here to help you, at least me.

(81) |

It has 40 protections and ~~350~~ 300 (fixed that for ya... ~Bran) health, plus 20% CCR.

(143) |

You don't need cdr on bellona.

Also mystical is decent on Bellona.
