Introduction
One of our favorite Epic Seven units, we have decided to present you today with the character Bellona.
Who is Bellona?
She is a genius sorceress from Ezera. Bellona is the daughter of a noble family, she is a tremendous optimistic character, in a perpetual search for something fun that can keep her away from getting bored.
She is born with innate magic that only a few can stand against. Bellona is a 5-Star Earth Ranger, with her Horoscope sign in Capricorn. You can summon her with the right materials on the Forest Spirit Altar.
Skills
Here are her three skills, all active:
Skill 1: Windbreak Fan
She attacks the enemy with a fan. The damage inflicted is proportional to the enemy’s max Health. If the caster’s stacked focus is over 5, she loses all focus and activates Razorwind Fan (her S3).
Skill 2: Butterfly Fan
She attacks all enemies by waving a fan. The more the enemy numbers, the higher the damage she inflicts. It will grant the caster immunity for one turn after the attack. The cooldown is three turns.
Skill 3: Razorwind Fan
Bellona will attack all her enemies by creating a powerful gust of wind. There is a 65% chance to decrease their Defense for two turns. The effect chance increases by 20% when this S3 is triggered by the Windbreak Fan (her S1). With the Burn effect, the damage she inflicts will increase. There is a long cooldown here, however, for six turns.
Build
Pros
Looking over her Powerchart, with her stats compared to the average stats of the other characters, we will very well see that her Speed and Defense are at the average levels.
Cons
The downside is in Utility, which is way behind most characters, whereas she has good scores with Attack and HP. She can bring maximum HP damage with just her normal attack.
This means that Bellona’s ideal build is either Speed or Destruction sets, with CD neck, ATK ring, and SPD boots.
Artifacts
Here are some recommended artifacts that work best with Bellona. To increase her attack, use Rosa Hargana. This is the best item to get her some additional dual attacks and to get focus stacks for her S3. There is also the Bloodstone artifact that she can benefit from for Healing. With her significant damage, the Bloodstone will heal a lot more than used with any other Ranger units.
She also benefits from Daydream joker, as she gets more damage done, and especially paired with Luna or Clorina, that will help you put down Bosses with higher efficiency.
In PVP, she can also benefit from the artifact Sashe Ithanes that will give her more CR when killing enemies.
PvE
For PVE. For Farming, she can use 5 AoE attacks in 7 turns, which is not a top option, but yet a perfect one. With her S1, she can bring significant damage to Golem 11. When combined with her S2 immunity and the consistent Defense break in S3, she becomes one of the most reliable units against Golem but also a fast Banshee killer.
Also, with her AoE attacks and Defense break debuff, she becomes one of the most significant units in Azimanak 11. And she truly shines in Abyss and Raids against the Bosses, especially when on floor 81+
PvP
For PVP. Due to her high base Speed (115) and AoE Defense break, she is perfect for the AoE Cleave team. Bellona is the best partner for C. Dominiel. With her exclusive equipment, the Citrine Treasure, she can get to decrease 15% CR of all enemies. However, as at high rank, most defense teams have immunity. You have to pair her with a strong stripper, like Basar or Hurado.
Pros
Her S1 is very useful about the enemy’s Health, which makes her efficient against Bosses. She has strong AoE attacks and AoE Defense break with S3. Her skill synergy is excellent.
Cons
She is countered by debuff immunity, as she can’t get defense break. She gets squishy if she is built with pure DPS and speed.
Her multipliers are low. Some of her enemies are immune to the HP damage that she can bring, so she gets useless in those situations.
Conclusion
Bellona is a beautiful character choice for PVE action, especially when confronting HP Bosses, a substantial farmer, and top tier Banshee and Golem killer. But she can become significant for PVP also, due to her AoE Defense breaker.
