Belanor — guide

In short

Belanor is a Legendary Void Attack champion from the High Elves. He is a straightforward nuker with a very generous Crit Rate aura and his own debuff setup, which makes him shine on Clan Boss, in dungeons and as a Faction Wars closer. Worth building if you need a Clan Boss damage dealer or a finisher for the elf faction.

Strengths

• +24% Crit Rate aura for all allies in all battles — saves gear and works in every piece of content.
• Killer grants allies +30% Crit Rate for 1 turn whenever it lands a critical hit — a free team buff.
• Irresistible Force applies 60% Decrease DEF and 25% Weaken for 2 turns and then attacks — he sets up his own damage.
• Overkill hits for 6.9× ATK and transfers leftover damage to the lowest-HP enemy — great for finishing waves.
• With Zavia on the team, Nimble Ally activates her Poison Rain — a strong Clan Boss pairing.

Weaknesses

• Hydra is a 2.0 out of 5 — he simply has nothing to offer there.
• The Crit Rate buff lasts only 1 turn and depends on critting first, so it is unreliable.
• Part of his value is locked behind having Zavia.
• Base 10 ACC and 105 SPD mean you have to invest in gear for debuffs and turn order.

Where to use

His best home is Faction Wars (4.5): the +24% Crit Rate aura plus the leftover-damage transfer make him a superb wave finisher. Next come Clan Boss (4.0) — the author tags him specifically as a Clan Boss damage dealer — and Chimera, Arena, Dungeons and Hard mode (4.0), where he plays as a standard nuker with self-setup. Doom Tower (3.5) is situational, and you should skip Hydra (2.0) entirely.

Stats and gear

Priority: 100% C.RATE (his own aura does not apply to himself), 200%+ C.DMG, 4000+ ATK. Aim for 170–190 SPD, or speed-tune him to your Clan Boss team. Take 200–250 ACC if you want Decrease DEF and Weaken to land reliably in dungeons and Doom Tower; for pure Clan Boss damage you can skip it. Sets: Crit Damage, Savage, Cruel, Lethal, Killstroke — the classic 2+2 or 4+2 nuker layout.

Masteries and blessings

Offense tree: Pierce Defenses and Boss Slayer, then fill in the usual nuker picks for C.RATE, C.DMG and ATK. Blessings from the list: Cruelty, Heavencast, Polymorph, Soul reap — go for the damage-oriented ones for Clan Boss and Chimera, and Polymorph if he keeps getting controlled in Arena. Relics: Malefic Talon, Irethi Coronet, The Cat's Gaze.

Tomès

Book Overkill first to get the −1 cooldown on level 3 — that is the biggest gain per rotation. Then put tomes into Irresistible Force for the +10% damage, and leave Killer for last, since its books only add a modest damage bump.

Verdict

A solid mid-tier legendary nuker: not meta, but his aura and the Zavia pairing carry him on Clan Boss and in Faction Wars. Build him.
