Belle

Class: Marksman

Rarity: Epic

Trio: Goldarm Gang with Sam and Pearl

Best skin: Knight Belle

Mastery title: "Starr"

​

Belle is a versatile marksman with a very long range that can work pretty much anywhere. Her balanced kit allows her to be viable against almost any matchup on most modes.

​

Health: 2600 to 5200

Movement speed: Normal

​

Main Attack: Taxing Shot

"Belle shoots a long range Electro-Bolt, dealing damage to any target hit. After a short delay, the bolt will jump to any nearby target, deal damage and jump to the next one."

Damage: 1040 to 2080

Bounce damage: 520 to 1040

Range: Very Long

Reload speed: Fast

Belle's main attack is very good across the board. It has a very long range, fast projectile speed, good damage, fast reload speed, and can even bounce to multiple enemies. The bounce range is also quite large, forcing enemies that get hit to move away from their teammates. Each shot can bounce up to 3 times. ​

​

Super: Spotter

"Belle fires a spotting shot that marks any opponent it hits. The marked opponent takes extra damage from any source. Only one target can be marked at a time."

Damage: 500 to 1000

Range: Very Long

Belle's super works well with her marksman kit, as it has a very long range as well. The mark is also incredibly strong if you hit it, making the enemy marked much easier to kill. The damage the projectile itself does is also pretty good, and it can be unloaded very fast with a fast projectile speed.

​

Gadget 1: Nest Egg

"Belle places a trap on the ground that will explode when triggered by an opponent. The trap deals 624 damage, and slows down anyone within its blast radius for 3 seconds."

Cooldown: 20 seconds

This gadget is very good for keeping control of the map. The trap becomes invisible to opponents when placed, and can be stacked even with its long cooldown. The slow is very useful for killing an enemy, as Belle and her teammates can pretty much just use auto-aim on them, and can relieve some pressure as your team retreats.​

​

Gadget 2: Reverse Polarity

"Belle's next Electro-Bolt bounces from walls."

Cooldown: 14 seconds

This is a pretty good gadget, having a relatively short cooldown. The bounce range is also quite large, allowing for it to be used pretty much anywhere as long as you bounce it off a wall. It can be used to snipe down low opponents from across the map, or to establish control.

​

Star Power 1: Positive Feedback

"Belle gains a 20% shield whenever her Electro-Bolts hit a target."

This star power is good for Belle, as it gives her a good amount of extra survivability as long as you are connecting your shots. It also makes her bounce shots more punishing, as her shield stays up if a projectile bounces.

​

Star Power 2: Grounded

"Getting marked by Belle's Super prevents the target from reloading for 5 seconds."

This star power is a bit more situational, but can still be great when dealing with aggressive brawlers. They become completely useless once they have used their ammo, allowing for Belle to survive getting jumped by them more often. It also forces any opponent hit by her super to retreat, which can give your team extra position.

​

Hypercharge: Magnetic

"Belle's spotting shot automatically follows the closest target."

Charge rate: 2 and 1/2 supers

Speed buff: 26%

Damage buff: 25%

Shield buff: 5%

This is a solid hypercharge, making Belle's super almost impossible to miss, even though it is already relatively easy to hit. The stat boosts and charge rate are the main selling points of this hypercharge, being able to get multiple in a game relatively easily.

​​​​

Epic Gear: Reload Speed

This gear increases Belle's reload speed by 15%.

​

Gear selection:

Reload gear is Belle's best gear, as it is a very good general buff that allows her to spam her main attack even more. Her second best gear is shield as she is very squishy, and can also get extra value out of it with her Positive Feedback star power.

Best Matchups:

Belle does generally really well into pretty much every matchup, as she has a very versatile kit. She does best into brawlers who need to group up with each other, as it makes her bounce shots have more value. Brawlers such as Gene and Buster get a lot of value from grouping up, so Belle is a great counter to this strategy. She is also great against Lola, since Belle's shots will often bounce between her and her clone.

​

Best Counters:

Belle is an incredibly hard brawler to counter due to her high range, damage, control, and even has a way to deal with tanks thanks to her super. Her best counter is Kaze, as she can assassinate Belle easier than other assassins thanks to her extremely high mobility and burst damage, and switching forms gets rid of the mark. Belle is also countered by Nani, since she can easily kill Belle with her super and reflect back her shots with Return To Sender, and Piper can also be used as a soft counter due to her higher damage per shot at the same range and her Homemade Recipe gadget.

​

Best Game Modes: 

Belle can be used in pretty much every game mode, however she shines most in Knockout and Bounty thanks to her high range. She is also great on single-zone Hot Zone maps, as her bouncing mechanic makes it awkward for enemies to sit on the zone together.​

​

Tips and Tricks:

• If you hit an enemy, try to wait a little bit before you hit them again, as you can't stack 2 bounces on the same enemy. Wait for the first shot to bounce before you hit your next shot so you can have 2 bouncing projectiles at the same time.

• Belle has a faster reload than most marksman, use this to your advantage to keep up the pressure.

• You don't always have to use Belle's super when the enemy is max HP, you can also use it to finish them off or to just get some extra damage off.

• Since Belle's super unloads extremely fast, you can use it right after firing a main attack to deal a good amount of extra damage.

• While you have control of the map, make sure to spam Belle's Nest Egg gadget, so that if you ever lose position, you can gain it back easier since the enemy will likely step on the trap.

• Try to target the highest HP brawler with your super to get the most value out of it, as you make their strength of having high HP nearly useless.
