Counter Belerick: Meta, Items, Spells, and Heroes

Even though this “tree” tank isn’t meta yet, the topic of countering Belerick is still one of the most sought after by MLBB players.

After all, it's still effective at countering a variety of heroes, from those with "slick" mobility to those with high damage per second (DPS). So, to understand how to counter it, let's check it out!

A typical MLBB player would use Belerick to fill the roaming role. This is a perfect fit, considering his relatively simple and straightforward mechanics.

His functions in the Land of Dawn are twofold: (1) being the “body” of the team, and (2) providing crowd control (CC) responses. Yep, Belerick falls into the category of tank heroes who love montages.

Armed with an ultimate with a large area of effect (AoE) taunt, her mechanics remain highly relevant in the current meta. It's no wonder we often see her roaming around as a roamer.

So, when it comes to countering him, the theme is simple: reduce/avoid the CC effect of his taunt. If that's achieved, you can be sure Belerick will be left with nothing but a few jaws to cover!

Items

As explained above, as a tank, Belerick is generally not used as a damage dealer hero, but rather to dampen dive-in initiation and meta crashes.

Therefore, the best counter item options are those that can reduce CC (Resilience effect). So far, Moonton has only released two items with this capability:

  • (Movement) Tough Boots: These “pink” shoes are often the best choice of movement item for junglers who want to reduce CC effects;
  • (Defense) Brute Force Breastplate: Often combined with Tough Boots, this defense item is a mainstay for maximizing the Resilience effect.

Spells

Just like items, the main purpose of counter spells for Belerick is to avoid his CC effects. To that end, there are two excellent spell options you can choose from:

  • Purify: This anti-CC spell is really suitable for you to choose, especially if you use a hero line-up that already has high innate mobility;
  • Flicker: If you use it with the right timing, this “million people” spell is also suitable for avoiding Belerick’s AoE CC.

And now, let's move on to the main topic: hero counters for Belerick. Here, VCGamers has summarized several heroes in each lane that are suitable for countering the tree hero:

Roam:

  1. Diggie: With his anti-CC capacity, this “bird egg” hero is a natural counter to Belerick;
  2. Minotaur: Mino's ultimate can no longer be cancelled (anti-CC). So with good timing, just match Mino's ultimate with Belerick!;
  3. Akai: To prevent Belerick's setup from falling apart, make sure you activate Akai's ultimate before being hit by Belerick's CC. That way, even if the enemy is attracted to Belerick's CC, they will be pushed around by the impact of Akai's ultimate.

EXP Lane

  1. Yu Zhong: When in dragon mode, Yu Zhong immune to CC Belerick;
  2. Lapu-Lapu: Lapu-Lapu's ultimate combo can also be immune to CC, as long as you use it with the right timing;
  3. Lukas: Lukas's skill 1 is also immune to CC.

Goldlaner:

  1. Wanwan: Wanwan's skill can remove CC effects. Furthermore, her ultimate also makes her invincible and untargetable – she's immune to Belerick's passive damage reflection effect.;
  2. Ixia: When entering ultimate mode, she can only be blocked with CC surpress.

Midlaners:

  1. Zhask: With an ultimate that allows him to enter “Joni”, he can avoid Belerick's CC effects;
  2. Kagura: Just like Wanwan, the “umbrella” mage also has a skill that can make her immune to CC;
  3. Kadita: As a mage assassin, the “queen of the south sea” has various skills with anti-CC capacity.

Jungler:

  1. Barats: Similar to Mino, Barats' ultimate is also immune to CC effects;
  2. Yi Sun-shin: YSS's blink skill can also allow him to avoid CC.
  3. Martis: Martis' mobility skills are anti CC.
