Be'lakor Dark Master (Universal)

Be'lakor is a melee universal hero who scales strongly with illusions. Not just the illusions from his abilities but any illusion under his control. He naturally want to build his entire hero around the illusions. But illusions aren't all he offers, he's got a very high damage nuke, that while being dodge-able, has a little twist that makes it harder to avoid. Maisma is potentially his stronges... View more

ITEM & SKILL BUILDS

Optimized item & skill guides for Be'lakor Dark Master (Universal).

Carry

hard carry
Carry is Be'lakor's most natural role, though he can also flex mid or offlane. For his skill build he wants to max Clone Image first, then Maisma. The cases where you want to max Pendulum first is when you're stomping the enemy hard and don't need the defensive power of Miasma or case when teamfights just aren't happening early. All of his talents are strong and deciding which he wants to pick is mostly up to personal preference and the game state. A good default talent build would be taking both Miasma talents, and then the clone and BAT talent. As a universal hero he wants to get all stats at the start of the game. A casual cornucopia (pretend perseverance is a cornucopia) can later be upgrade into linkens if the game calls for it or it can just be sold. Manta Style is Be'lakor's most core item, he can Clone Swap with ANY illusions including manta illusions. With all those illusions Diffusal and Disperser (can't add Disperser on this website) become mighty good. Then it's stats. Stats, stats, stats. Be'lakor is a universal hero with illusions so nothing can boost his damage so effectively. Of course try and get stat items that actually work well with illusions like Skadi, Heart, and Butterfly. Get his aghs sooner rather than later as the utility is just out of this world. Same goes for his shard as it's his primary mobility tool. For situation items Linkens in his best defensive item that also has some nice sustain and a good build up. Radiance for if the game is going really really really good. Armlet could be a super strong early game buy, but Be'lakor doesn't naturally purchase the sustain for it nor does it help with his mana problems so it's risky. A blink dagger for if there is a key target that needs to die. Abyssal, hex, or gleipnir could fill in for the CC Be'lakor lacks, hex is probably the best choice here.

IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Be'lakor is a melee universal hero who scales strongly with illusions. Not just the illusions from his abilities but any illusion under his control. He naturally want to build his entire hero around the illusions. But illusions aren't all he offers, he's got a very high damage nuke, that while being dodge-able, has a little twist that makes it harder to avoid. Maisma is potentially his strongest skill, while dealing no damage it's incredibly powerful in teamfights by significantly reducing enemy vision. His ultimate is a hard counter to anything that prevents or reduces damage. For it's duration Be'lakor will deal 100% pure damage with his attacks no matter what, no items, ability, evasion, or damage block can stop the damage he deals. I specifically made Be'lakor because I thought it'd be cool to have enough of the Warhammer Daemons to make a team. Given that Be'lakor and N'kari are both hard carries it would be a bad team, but as a wise man once said "everything can work". Be'lakor also represents chaos undivided, unlike the other Daemons who are specific to one God. I was initially tempted to give him one ability that would represent each of the four Gods, but that would be really out of flavor for him, so instead of just went all in on him being a master of the Lore of Shadows. In Warhammer the Lore of Shadows is known for illusions and trickery, so I did my best to add that to all his abilities.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

Be'lakor, called the "Dark Master," is the first Daemon Prince of Chaos, a servant of Chaos Undivided, and "Father-in-Shadow" to the current thirteenth Everchosen of Chaos Undivided, Archaon. He is known by many other names, including: the "First Damned," the "Harbinger," the "Lord of Torment," the "Messenger of the Great Undivided," the "One Who Heralds the Conquerors," the "Foretoken" and the "Bearer." What his mortal name truly was, and whether he was originally a Human, Elf, Dwarf or a member of some other, long-forgotten mortal race, are facts lost to history. He was the first mortal to be blessed with the gift of Daemonhood becoming the highest champion of all four gods. But after being betrayed by them Be'lakor seeks eternal vengeance. Be'lakor arrived at the war of the ancients to twart the plans of the chaos gods.
