00:00What is going on, Summoners? We're back here today with another Champion Deep Dive.
00:06Today, we're talking about Beta Ray Bill.
00:11So, sit back and relax, because it's time to get into it.
00:24Beta Ray Bill enters the contest with an Armor-Pulverizing Hammer.
00:29His first medium attack pulverizes one Armor-Up effect, removing it and dealing a burst of direct damage.
00:37He's also fully immune to Shock and Power Drain effects,
00:42and when his Power Drain immunity triggers, he gains a Power Gain passive granting him 1 bar of Power over 0.5 seconds.
00:50This has a cooldown of 14 seconds.
00:53He also reduces the potency of incoming Bleed and Poison effects by 50%.
00:59And when starting a fight against a Tech Champion or when immune to an effect, he gains a Steady buff for 20 seconds.
01:07While Steady is active, attacks cannot glance.
01:11Additionally, equipping the Thor Relic increases the potency of his personal buffs by 25%.
01:19Now, while charging a Heavy attack, he gains an Unstoppable buff.
01:24And while charging, all buffs on him and shocks on the opponent are paused.
01:29And he gains a 20% Intensify buff every 0.4 seconds up to 5 stacks.
01:35If struck while charging his Heavy, this Unstoppable goes on cooldown for 24 seconds.
01:41And when he releases his Heavy, he gains a Grit buff for 15 seconds.
01:46While above 2 bars of Power, the opponent suffers an Intimidate passive while he's below 3 stacks of Intensify.
01:54At 5 stacks, it turns into an Infuriate passive.
01:58And if he activates his Special 2 while charging his Heavy,
02:02he pauses all personal buffs until he's landed or been struck by 4 basic hits per Intensify gained.
02:10This effect does not trigger if it's already active.
02:13If this buff pause is not active, his basic attacks have a 10% chance to inflict a Shock passive over 25 seconds,
02:21maxing out at 12 stacks.
02:24Starting a combo with a Medium attack or while striking with a Special 1 speeds up this expiration rate by 285%.
02:33And when any shock on the opponent ends, he deals a burst of Energy damage.
02:39All shocks are paused during the opponent's Special attacks and during Beta Ray Bill's Special 2.
02:46Also, the final hit of his Special attacks refresh all shocks on the opponent.
02:52Now, let's check out his Special attacks.
02:58On activation of the Special 1, he gains a Fury buff for 15 seconds, maxing out at 3 stacks.
03:06And during this attack, the potency of personal bursts is increased by 200%.
03:12Also, while his personal buff pause is active, when any shock expires on the opponent during this attack,
03:20he inflicts another personal Shock passive.
03:23With the Special 2, the first hit grants a non-stacking 15% Energize buff for 15 seconds.
03:31All lightning hits inflict a personal Shock passive.
03:35And each Intensify buff grants a 10% chance to inflict these shocks through a block.
03:53The Special 3!
03:55At the end of this attack, he gains a 60% Resonance buff for 20 seconds, paused during Special attacks.
04:03Resonance deals an additional burst of Energy damage based on the hit damage dealt.
04:09Now, let's check out his signature ability.
04:14When awakened, the potency of personal bursts of damage is increased by up to 40%.
04:20Additionally, his Unstoppable cooldown is reduced by up to 10 seconds.
04:25And, while a personal Unstoppable buff is active, damage taken is reduced by up to 100%, not including Special 3.
04:35Now, let's take him out for a spin in the Champion Rotation!
04:42To begin, strike the opponent to start building your power and inflicting your Shocks.
04:48If your opponent has any Armor Up effects, focus on your first Medium attack to Pulverize and remove it.
04:55Launching your Heavy will grant you a Grip buff, allowing you to counter Unstoppable.
05:00In a shorter fight, once you reach your Special 2, launch it to gain your Energize, inflict more Shocks, and refresh your stack.
05:10Then, start your next combos with a Medium to speed up the expiration of your Shocks.
05:16And time your Special 1 so they burst during the attack.
05:21Now, in a longer fight, try to start your combos with a Light attack to keep your Shocks active longer.
05:29Also, don't forget, your Steady buff will prevent your attacks from glancing.
05:35And, when immune to a Power Drain effect, you'll gain a Bar of Power.
05:41Once above 2 bars, charge your Heavy to Intimidate and gain your Intensify.
05:46Then, use your Infuriate at 5 stacks to intercept with your Special 2 and activate your Buff Pause.
05:54From here, make your way back up to Special 2 and launch again to stack on more Shocks.
06:01Reset your Buff Pause once it falls off to max out your Shocks and finish your ramp.
06:07Then, switch to Medium starting combos to burst the opponent down with massive Special 1s until they're knocked out.
06:16And hey, keep in mind, that massive Fury from your Special 1 can stack up to 3 times, and it gains increased potency when equipped with the Thor Relic.
06:27So, if you time your combos right, your Special 1s could burst down an enormous health pool and have your opponent begging for mercy.
