Hero Skills
The character is sharpened for physical damage and relies only on basic attacks. In the arsenal, according to the standard, there are five skills that help expand the functionality of the hero. She is very mobile, deals high damage and can control opponents. Let's take a closer look at each ability, make up the best combinations and the sequence of pumping.
Passive Skill - Purple Death
When activated, the champion gains speed for 2 subsequent basic attacks. If she participates in killing large forest monsters or enemy heroes, then she receives special purple charges. They increase her attack speed. A warrior is not subject to a maximum speed limit, it can accelerate literally indefinitely.
Note that this does not make her basic attacks and triggers work as well as other champions and deal less damage. In addition, her attack speed is not increased by the level of the hero.
First Skill - Inescapable Abyss
The Empress dashes forward in the marked direction. At the end of the maneuver, she will deal increased damage to all affected targets and apply an additional effect. In total, Bel'Vet can jump in 4 different directions, each with its own cooldown, and the cooldown is reduced by increasing her attack speed.
The skill icon is divided into four parts to make it easier to navigate, because they recharge independently of each other.
Skill XNUMX - Top and Bottom
The character strikes the ground in front of him with his tail in the marked direction. When it hits opponents, it deals increased damage to them, from the impact they are knocked up for a short time in the air, and then get a slow effect.
With a successful use and hitting a champion from the enemy team, the cooldown of one of the 4 parts of the first skill in the direction in which the hit target was located will also be reduced.
Skill XNUMX - Fury of the Empress
The champion creates a deadly whirlwind in an area around him, putting all his rage into it. Upon activation, Bel'Vet reduces all incoming damage and gains increased lifesteal. If there are opponents within the area at the time of activation, they take increased damage, and the target with the lowest health level is hit by a series of attacks, the damage of which increases, depending on the enemy's lost health.
The higher the attack speed, the more Bel'Vet will hit the marked opponent.
Ultimate - Insatiable Hunger
Passive ult buffs every second basic attack against one target. It deals additional pure damage that can stack indefinitely. If the hero is involved in killing an epic forest mob, or in killing an enemy champion, then the defeated target leaves behind special Corals of the Abyss. The monsters that hail from the Abyss, namely the Herald of the Abyss and Baron Nashor, leave behind distinct corals upon their death.
When the Empress consumes an abandoned Void Coral, it explodes and applies a slow effect to all nearby enemies, dealing additional pure damage. It increases from the lost health points of the hit target. Bel'Vet reveals his true colors. In true form, the champion has increased HP, and increased movement speed outside of combat. It also increases attack speed and range.
Void Coral from Herald of the Void and Baron Nashor increases the time the empress stays in her true form, and also turns nearby creeps into Voidling helpers. Her servants will move further forward along the line on which they turned. While in this form, Bel'Vet easily overcomes obstacles with the help of the first skill.
Sequence of leveling skills
First you need to reveal all the skills, and then pump first skill. Then you gradually increase second ability and at the end of the match you pump third. Ultimate is always prioritized over skills, so upgrade it as soon as access opens up. This happens at levels 6, 11 and 16.
Basic Ability Combinations
Bel'Vet is a very strong warrior in the right hands. To deal as much damage as possible during the battle, use the following tricky combinations:
- Second Skill -> Ultimate -> First Skill -> Auto Attack -> First Skill -> Auto Attack -> Third Skill -> Auto Attack. An easy combo with a little practice. First, you stun your opponent with a tail swipe, and then transform into an enhanced form. You make a dash towards your opponents and alternate it with basic attacks. At the end of the fight, use the deadly whirlwind. It will help you survive in the thick of the battle and finish off enemy champions.
- First Skill -> Auto Attack -> First Skill -> Auto Attack -> Blink -> First Skill -> Auto Attack -> First Skill -> Auto Attack -> Third Skill. A simple combination of skills with which you will deal a lot of damage and constantly reduce the distance between yourself and your opponent. Use only when you have a fully charged first skill with jerks, or if during the battle you have time to recover the rest of the directions. In the end, to survive and reduce incoming damage, as well as to land a killing blow, use a killing whirlwind.
- First Skill -> Auto Attack -> First Skill -> Auto Attack -> Second Skill -> Third Skill. The simplest combo that works well for XNUMXvXNUMX fights or early on when you still have your ult locked. As in the previous version, you alternate dashes with basic attacks, and at the end you complement them with a stun from a tail strike and deal devastating damage by summoning a whirlwind.
