Balmond Item Build Skill

Brief Introduction

Balmond is one of the few heroes that possess a mixture of attributes in the game. While some players have played him as a fighter, many build him as a tank. In this Balmond item build and strategy guide, we will be building Balmond as a tank hero.

Compared to other tank heroes in the market, Balmond possess the best crowd clearing and offense abilities. With Cyclone Sweep, Balmond brandishes his axe and starts spinning to wipe out enemy minions. His ultimate, Lethal Counter inflicts damage and a portion of true damage to opponents within specified area. Balmond also regenerates portion of his health points for every minion and hero he slain.

However, Balmond is often seen as a liability in higher tier ranked matches due to the lack of ability effects. As of now, Balmond has no ability to inflect any status ailments to opponents. The lack of such ability effect puts Balmond in a disadvantaged position as tank heroes are often required to pin down opponents during team fights.

Cost

Balmond cost 6500 battle points or 299 diamonds. He is one of the cheapest hero out there.

Emblem

Choosing the correct Emblem plays an important role in ranked matches. Be sure to select the correct Emblem before starting the game.

Pros

Majority of the item build and separated them into 3 categories namely Physical Defence, Magic Resistance and Norm (Normal). These are situational builds catered for draft matches where you select the most appropriate category based on your opponent’s hero selection.
