Benedetta – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Benedetta is countered by heroes with skills that shutdown mobility skills, such as Minsitthar and Phoveus, since all of Benedetta's skills are considered mobility.
Strong against
Benedetta's 2nd Skill can effectively block enemy CC, making her a great counter to heroes with predictable CC skills, such as Jawhead and Guinevere.
Benedetta – Skills
Elapsed Daytime
Hold the Basic Attack button to enter the Swordout state and charge Sword Intent. Once fully charged, release it to perform a Swordout Slash in the direction she's facing and dash forward, dealing (+215% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies on the path (counts as basic attack damage and is reduced to 50% against minions and creeps).
Benedetta can only cast Swordout Slash when her Sword Intent is full and she is in the Swordout state.
Benedetta also gains Sword Intent by dealing damage with her Basic Attacks and skills.
Phantom Slash
CD: 10 Mana Cost: 55
Benedetta withdraws swiftly and leaves a shadow in front. After a short delay, her shadow slashes forward in a fan-shaped area, dealing 200 (+75% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and slowing the enemies by 60% for 0.5s.
Meanwhile, Benedetta dashes forward to slash, dealing 75 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. (If the target is hit by her shadow, damage caused by Benedetta herself will increase to 200%.)
An Eye for An Eye
CD: 15 Mana Cost: 100
Benedetta raises her weapon to defend, gaining Control Immunity and blocking damage from any source for 0.8s. After this, she stabs in the designated direction, dealing 300 (+80% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage.
If Benedetta successfully fends off any damage while defending, she will gain full Sword Intent. If she fends off any control effects, her subsequent stab stuns the target for 1.5s.
Alecto: Final Blow
CD: 45 Mana Cost: 110
Benedetta clenches Alecto, dashes forward (Benedetta is untargetable during the dash), and performs a slash after a short delay, detonating the Sword Intent along the path. For 2.5s, the Sword Intent deals up to a total of 1560 (+1105% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies within and slows them by 50%.
Combo
LANING COMBOS
In the laning phase, gather Sword Intent by holding Benedetta's Basic Attack button, then use Swordout Slash after Sword Intent is maxed to strike the enemy. Follow up with her 1st Skill and try to max out Sword Intent again by blocking the enemy's attack with her 2nd Skill, then end the combo with another Swordout Slash.
TEAMFIGHT COMBOS
In teamfights, use Swordout Slash to get close to the enemy, then use Benedetta's Ultimate where the enemy is clustered, and follow up with her 1st Skill for additional damage and 2nd Skill to block incoming CC.
