Ben
Ben is a highly effective niche support for players prioritizing Belobog synergy or specific shield-reliant defense compositions. He is excellent for challenging content where consistent shielding and parrying are mandatory for team survival.
Ben functions as a primary defensive pivot for Belobog Heavy Industries, centering his kit around a powerful parry-based blocking mechanic. By holding his Special Attack, he creates a temporary shield while preparing to unleash a high-damage counter strike. His core passive effectively scales his offensive output from his defense stat, allowing him to act as both a damage mitigator and a secondary damage dealer.
