Whenever Belerick takes 50 or more damage, he has a 25% chance to shoot the nearest enemy unit, dealing Magic Damage equal to 55(+5*Hero Level) plus 1.8% of his Max HP (scales with level). This attack can be triggered once every 0.4s.
His HP obtained from Equipment and Emblems is increased by 30%.
Gameplay guide
Belerick is a roam or EXP-lane tank who gains 30% more HP from equipment and emblems and retaliates against frequent incoming hits with Max-HP-scaling thorns. His delayed line taunt, speed-and-heal attack, and large area taunt let him force enemies to attack the target they least want to focus.
Rotate for river and jungle information instead of remaining permanently beside the gold laner. Use Ancient Seed to clear or cut off a committed path, and reserve Nature's Strike for a meaningful slow, missing-HP heal, or reposition.
Lead into Turtle vision and approach with Nature's Strike. Taunt grouped enemies through Wrath of Dryad, then place Ancient Seed under their forced movement so its delayed eruption extends control.
Stand between the enemy's rapid attackers and allied carries. Be patient with the ultimate's animation, use it defensively when divers commit, and cycle Nature's Strike as passive triggers reduce its cooldown.
Move into the attack path before taunting so Deadly Thorns can punish damage that would otherwise reach the carry.
Use the enhanced Basic Attack after Belerick loses HP; its recovery scales with missing health and Deadly Thorns can shorten its cooldown.
Wait for several enemies to commit into close range before Wrath of Dryad, because casting at maximum distance makes the roots easier to avoid.
Use speed and the 60% slow to enter, force nearby enemies to attack Belerick, then time the delayed seed eruption as the area taunt ends.
Reposition with remaining speedImmediate area taunt protects the back line; the delayed line taunt and strong single-target slow prevent pursuit while the missing-HP heal sustains Belerick.
