 What's up everybody on the mangoes, you were awesome but today I've got some more Predacessor gameplay, this time with Lieutenant Bellica. Bellica wasn't too bad in Pred, my only problem is that she felt balanced while Howitzer and the Faye felt broken. I think a lot of this had to do with inexperience though, I simply just didn't have the feel for when her ultimate would kill and I ended up falling a few basic attacks short quite a few times. I think there's a lot of hidden potential in Predacessor's heroes, we just didn't have enough time to find it. Let's take a look at Bellica's kit to see what's changed from the old Paragon days. First off, they added a passive called Innovation, this increases the strength of her abilities when they're maxed out and she receives 10% max mana per max ability. I think this is what I didn't like about Bellica, everyone else had passes that gave immediate results, however Bellica had to wait for like mid game before her passive took any effect. It's fine to have late game oriented heroes, but I still think it's a bit unfair that everyone else got immediate benefits from their passive. Bellica was like the major equivalent of Ceberog. Her Q is a straight line knockup, maxing this out would give extra stun time, her right click is an AoE bomb that explodes after a brief delay, at max it would have increased magical power scaling, her E was the good old mana sucking void drone that fires at people when they use abilities, maxing this out would cause the drones attacks to also steal some mana, her ultimate neural disruptor deals single target damage that is increased by the amount of mana the target is missing. This receives increased range at max stacks. While I didn't have as much fun with Bellica as some of the other mid laners, I still had a great time because I was playing some f*****g bread. If you're out there looking for some constant, unbiased updates on all these Paragon remakes, please consider subscribing to the channel, like the video if you enjoy it, but for now let's play some belly. I went ahead and skipped a lot of the early game farming because it was pretty f*****g boring. This was my first rotation over to help Severog with this f*****g meow and we popped him up hitting him with the bomb, you know the standard stuff. This f*****g meow was actually really good, I throw a bomb in front of him here and he shields it just in time to not get killed. That was really well done on his part and I missed the final basic attack but that allowed Sev to get his stack so I'm actually kind of happy that I didn't get that kill. It was kind of a dick move to try and get it anyway, Severog being right there. This wasn't another problem I had with playing Bellica, well not just Bellica but a host of other champions or heroes as we call them in Paragon, what am I thinking? I don't even play League of Legends here, I'm calling them champions. But anyway yeah, not being able to have instant cast, I'm used to whenever I hit seismic assault that that s**t just goes. But you had to confirm the ability, that kind of messed me up quite a few times. Big difference is not a big change, a big difference between predecessor and Fault. Bellica and Fault, you can't destroy her Boydrone but it doesn't steal mana, it just attacks whenever people use abilities. So it's nice for countering like Crunch or somebody like that but it's kind of useless in Fault where it was, I hate having my mana drain but god damn it, it made the ability effective and useful and having the ability to actually destroy it was really nice. And that's what I meant right there, just a few basic attack short of my neural disruptor killing. Screwed up a bit, I saw that Bellica left and I went to say missing mid and I said oh my way mid, I corrected it though but I'm pretty sure she's rotating to the left lane, well I thought she was, I don't think she actually did, I think she probably just backed. But anyway, I rotated left too just to help out and then yeah, Chimera fight in the middle, we dropped some bombs, now it's two against one and our Chimera has the red buff and I don't know why he's backing out, he's Chimera, just go brother, just go. And I hit him here to back him up and that's all we really need and again neural disruptor just not enough to finish the kill. And Seb gets some more stacks, I thought that that would totally hit her, did not have the range down, missed her with that bomb too, like I really need to, did not have a feel for her abilities, maybe that's why I like the Fey and how it's her because the Fey, you don't expect her big flower to actually hit anybody, like you just expect it to kind of be an area denial and her other shit is straight line and how he's the same way he's got a straight line skill shot. Yeah, anyway, that was a pretty good fight. Again with that shit, I gave the old Okidok and everything, she was half health, I hit her with three abilities you would expect on a mage at fucking level nine and I've got at least a couple items, I would think that would kill with her being as low on mana as she was, but no, I mean, I didn't go in, I didn't rock, rock hard there, I didn't follow up because I really thought that that was just going to kill her. It's fun going back to watch these because like looking back, I could clearly see on the map that there were people behind me, like I didn't notice that during the gameplay at all, I was just focused on trying to take out that enemy Bellica, but yeah, looking back, I look on the map, I'm like, yeah, that was a bad idea, that was a terrible idea. Now the item I just picked up is called Astral Catalyst, and this gives you extra magic power based on how much mana you have, which is of course really good with Bellica since she gets 10% max mana, I remember she maxes out on an ability, and right now I have my bomb maxed out and I'm working on getting my size of assault maxed out. I never would have noticed this Chimera behind me if that indicator wouldn't have popped up on my screen, luckily our Chimera was there anyway, he did not see the thing now coming though, I did. I missed him with the bomb though, unfortunate, I'm fucking fortunate, I had to blink away at it to get out of that one, but our Chimera is beating the crap out of theirs. We hit him with that bomb, that hit him pretty hard. I don't know why he tried to stay in here, I guess it's because Bellica was up on the ledge, but yeah, we took out their Fingmao. I hope that Fingmao's happy after everything I did to survive that encounter, Bobbin and Weven waiting for my cooldowns, knocking the Chimera up at the exact right moment, and then he just comes in and hits hard. Several goes me a beer. Never have I done so much in order to achieve so little. If you're wondering what just happened to my ultimate, yeah, I'm kinda wondering that too, that this is one of the very few bugs I discovered while I experienced while playing Paragon, was that one time when my ultimate didn't deal damage with Bellica. Some other ones though, I saw a Raven, especially when Murdoch had a couple times for his ultimate just dealt zero damage to anybody, even when hitting multiple people, maybe it was because he was hitting multiple people with his ultimate, I don't know, and that's pretty much a wrap. I mean, I get a few more, another killing assist or something like that, but the game's pretty much over at this point. I hope you enjoyed the video. I hope that they do something with her passive, I don't know, I don't know what they can do to help Bellica out, and she probably just doesn't even need help. I probably just suck with her, but anyway, again, like the video if you enjoyed it, I'm gonna let the rest of this go ahead and play it out.
