Can swap Runic Shield/ Breastplate of Valor combo for Shogun's Kusari/ Midgardian Mail combo.
The AA-debuff from Frostbound Hammer and Witchblade do not stack together, though you can pair either of them with Midgardian Mail or Ichaival.
The Crusher for some extra attack speed/power/pen for both abilities and basic attacks.
The Executioner against really, really tanky comps (3 or more very tanky gods).
Bloodforge for getting out safely after diving the backline and getting a kill. Not my ideal choice though.
Asi for some AA-dps and sustain.
Atalanta's Bow for movement speed/sticking as an alternative option to Hastened Katana (or you can use both).
Toxic Blade for anti-heal, though your teammates should be the one prioritising anti-heal, not typically the ADC.
Brawler's Beat Stick for anti-heal, with less AA-focus than Toxic Blade, but some power/pen to deal more ability damage.
ADC
Origin of build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDbaGOgE3Ug
Notes: Witchblade and Frostbound Hammer do not have their AA-debuff stack.
Ideally you would pick Bellona ADC if your solo laner is a hunter.

Also you always choose Warrior Tabi but you said you're self in stukes post that you recommend Ninja Tabi very misleading.
Stukes build may not be perfect but it's easy yo understand and then just improve myself based on my experience.
I also added a similar example to my builds at the bottom of the page.
Fair enough, I can group the items differently so it's more compact, but most of what I have picked can be used in certain situations, so im not going to reduce the options that are there. If you want less variety to choose from, then just focus on the example builds.
Yes. I choose Warrior Tabi for a different reason. Firstly, I choose Warrior's Blessing as a starter, not Hunter's Blessing, so I need the extra power from Warrior Tabi to help clear the wave (and any jungle camps). Warrior Tabi also offers a greater power spike and in lane, you can engage and/or clear wave with your 2 (with higher damage with Warrior than Ninja), harass the enemy adc with your 1 while getting 1-2 basics blocked, them disarm while getting 2-3 basics in and then go for to the wave to heal (unless you can get an early kill, after all, I do recommend Horrific Emblem first, as you're going to be building tanky).
Of course though, Ninja Tabi does work better if you want to sustain from the 3's heal and build the 1's block stacks, but, if you’re not building any items towards an AA or semi-AA focused build (notice how my main one doesen't mention Berserker's Shield? and how I only get Hastened Katana late?), then I value Ninja Tabi less.
In solo lane I always go Ninja Tabi on Bellona to pair with Berserker's Shield for lane sustain/boxing. And that Stuke's guide being on Solo lane, is the reason I recommended Ninja Tabi (which you can go back and check if you want).
Even if I were to pick up something like Qin's Sais in the build, im going to sell boots for it late anyway, that it doesen't matter if I picked Warrior Tabi or Ninja Tabi. I consider in this role Hastened Katana core, but you could swap it out for something with more attack speed. And then there's the fact that some defensive items like Talisman of Energy and Shogun's Kusari can provide attack speed.
In addition to all of this, the original build that I got the idea from is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDbaGOgE3Ug and Warrior Tabi was picked over Ninja Tabi. Also in that match Shell was prioritised over Horrific Emblem, I prefer Horrific, but if you want a more defensive option then Shell is perfectly fine.
Cause unless you can group every item right for when to use it (which can be done for some e.g. the AS slow items), it won't remove the clutter.
I know it's only a build and i have no idea if you're planning to make a guide out of it (or expand on it). However, I'm looking forward to it.

As you said, it's only a build, I already have listed example builds which both mention they're either against a hunter or mage adc and so necessitate the inclusion of Midgardian mail.
In my "Alternative Build against Other Duo matchups" build I do not have it listed.
This isn't going to be a guide, so im not going to go into extra detail about item choices for the most part, though I did group the items a bit better than they were presented before.
Oh and as I said in my other comment, it's not an ideal role to play Bellona in as a beginner unless your team's comp includes a hunter in solo lane.
Eventually if/as I update more builds, there is going to be even less chance of going into detail about item choices. I don't even think im going to consider updating most, if not all hunter builds since the changes this season due to the variety, and not knowing the pros/cons that well of the different build paths (of which there is quite a few e.g. trans + asi, trans + crusher, devourers + crit, devourers + asi, devourers + qins, ichaival + asi, trans + crit etc....)
