Hey, this is Ciderhelm and welcome to the Vainglory hero spotlight, Today we will be looking at Beldar a feeble caterpillar larva with the potential to become something greater.
Beldar is one of the numerous spiritual creatures within the forest. Their jobs were to pollinate the flora and ensure that balance was maintained within the Wild (the force of vitality in nature that bonded to magic). Where the wind goes, so is the Wild.
Beldar and his many siblings would spend their youth preying on smaller animals to build up their bulk before finally setting up a place to weave their cocoons. They then emerged in their mature butterfly forms, metamorphized into the new spirits of the forest and giving back to nature.
When their time came they would lay eggs and transfer their spirit into the clutch of eggs they laid, before slowly falling to the ground, ready to be recycled by the Wild. Another eon later and the eggs would hatch with Beldar and his family starting the cycle anew. For some unknown time, this ageless cycle continued in peace and harmony.
All the creatures of the forest paid respect to the gentle arbiters of their habitat. For a time, all seemed well.
Than foreign people not of the forest started coming in, cutting down the trees, strip-mining the crystals and minerals, and bringing the corrupting Churn behind their heels. Some creatures had weapons of rock, heat, and energy. Other similar creatures used tools of rock and arcane magic but they all craved what the forest had but gave nothing in return. These humans sought the Well of Power.
Beldar and his siblings tried their best to expel the intruders to prevent them from destroying the balance of the Wild, but they were still weak and feeble larvae. The foreigners in their cruelty unleashed weapons of heat and light that burned and charred everything in their path.
Many of Beldar’s dearest family members screamed as they roasted in the conflagration. Beldar could only observe in silent horror as he fled, his heart full of anguish for the destruction of his kin hearing the screaming of the roasting caterpillars.
There was no other creature like him anymore. For the first time, Beldar was alone and away from home. Beldar now seeks the magic emanating from the other Wells of Power hoping to gain enough power so he may one day return, more powerful than before, repel the foreigners, restore the forest and protect the Wild as was his sacred ancestral charge. For there was no one left but him.
On the Rise, Beldar is a weak melee laner early game with fairly feeble abilities that causes him to struggle against most opponents. However, once he undergoes metamorphosis into his ultimate form, Beldar gains a powerful new set of abilities that allow her to swarm the competition.
Beldar’s HEROIC PERK is Eggxecute
When Beldar is KILLED within 3 meters of an Enemy Hero who is below 100-400 health (Level 1-12) he automatically latches onto them, then instantly EXECUTES them, bursting out of their body REVIVING with 75% of his max health and in Caterpillar Form after 3 seconds.
