⚡TL;DR
- ▸Belerick is a reflect-tank that punishes basic-attack teams.
- ▸Spikes at level 4 when Nightmare Blooms unlocks airborne CC.
- ▸Killer mistake: picking him into magic or skill-damage comps.
- ▸Win by roaming to shield carries and body-blocking attacks.
- ▸Predictable and slow — you get value from positioning, not chasing.
🎯Identity
Belerick exists to soak damage aimed at allies and reflect it back at basic-attackers.
His passive redirects a portion of ally damage onto himself, then thorns the attacker.
He is a bodyguard-tank, not an engage-tank — his job is standing between enemies and your carry.
All his value assumes enemies are hitting things. Against skill-heavy teams, his passive does nothing.
⚙️How the kit actually works
Turns you into a damage sponge that punishes basic-attackers.
It only triggers when a NEARBY ally is hit — you must physically stand next to your carry.
Reflect scales off the attacker hitting, so it shines against attack-speed marksmen like Karrie.
Long-range lockdown that pins a target for your team to collapse.
The 1.5s immobilize is your only pre-ult catch tool — land it before you dive, not after.
Cooldown drops as you level it, so max it for near-permanent zone control.
Zone-and-slow field that stops kiting and stacks damage.
The 2s slow glues fleeing enemies so slow-Belerick can actually reach them.
It is continuous damage over an area — pair it with Skill 1's root to hold enemies inside.
Your only hard engage/disengage: airborne everyone and shield allies.
1.5s airborne is a full crowd-control window — use it to start your team's CC chain.
The ally shield makes it a defensive save too, not just a knockup; save it for burst moments.
Skill 1 roots the target, Skill 2 slows and zones so they cannot walk out.
Ultimate airbornes the trapped group, extending the CC lock for your carries.
All three overlap one area — enemies stand in reflect + damage field while stunned.
📈Power curve
Belerick is a flat, reliable frontline that peaks at level 4 and stays steady.
No ultimate, no mobility, weak engage beyond Skill 1 root.
Ultimate airborne lets you start fights and shield carries.
Very tanky, but easily kited and useless versus magic comps.
🏆Win condition
Win by making enemy basic-attackers choose between hitting your carry and killing themselves on thorns.
- 1Draft Belerick only into marksman/physical-fighter heavy enemy teams.
- 2Roam early and body-block for your marksman so the passive is always active.
- 3Open fights with Skill 1 root, then Ultimate airborne to lock the priority target.
