Introduction

This build is what I prefer when I am playing either Conquest/ Siege or Joust. I have not personally played with this build in Arena. This build is meant for maximum use of Bellona's abilities.

Items

I start off with Warrior Tabi as a standard start item that gives me some good physical power.

Next, I like to get Transcendence started early in order to get my stacks going. This item also kills two birds with one stone. I get mana stacks that will be important as I will be getting max cooldown% so I will be using up a ton of mana. As well it will convert mana into power which is what I am really looking for.

Thirdly, I go with Jotun's Wraith to start my cool down% as well as get my physical power up.

Fourth, I get my first defensive item, Spirit Robe, this gives me a lot of defense as well as reduced cooldown.

Fifth, I get my second defensive item, Shifters Shield, that also gives me a considerable amount of power.

Lastly, I bring the hammer down with Deathbringer. This gives me a ton of physical damage as well as granting me crits as an added bonus.

Skills

I don't have a huge preference on skills but I will note that leveling up Bludgeon first is really important; it hits like a truck when used right.

Then splitting levels with Scourge and Eagles Rally is a good idea.

Lastly, focus on Shield bash. As long as you have it you will have your get away as well as your slow ability so don't worry too much about leveling this ability up till the end.

Pros / Cons

Pros:

-Tons of physical power damage
-you can basically spam your abilities at max cooldown
-limitless mana
-Good Defense


Cons:
-Limited Healing
-Limited Attack speed

How To Play This Build

I really like to go from jungle and Eagle's Rally in and stun them, Bludgeon, Scourge to silence, auto attack a few times then finish off with Shield Bash if they try to get away with an ability.

If this has not killed them yet (Guardians) You should be able to activate Bludgeon by the time you are done with Shield Bash. If not, auto attack till it is available.

Summary

This Bellona can be very very powerful, just make sure to get some defensive items before you get too aggressive with her (and make sure you don't have terrible random teammates that can be annoying)

Please vote if you like this build,

Thanks.
