Thornmail Bel'Veth build with runes and items. Thornmail Bel'Veth guide offers in-depth how-to play, skill order and tips. Play Thornmail Bel'Veth build in League of Legends Patch 25.13!
Hit or miss. Works only if an enemy team is full of physical damage dealers (preferably auto-attackers).
If an enemy team is full of mages, AP poke damage, consider playing regular tank build instead.
However, this build also gonna work to some degree as players usually still auto attack anyway (not as good as vs full physical damage dealers / auto attackers)
How to play
General
How is this Thornmail build for Bel'Veth different to regular tank builds? Item order, Armor stacking and countering enemy physical damage dealers!
This build is aimed to counter AD comps. Since you don't know the enemy team, you need to adapt in game. It is hit or miss. If they are heavy AP - you can just play regular tank.
Late game, you can consider selling boots for 6th item - for even more sweet Thornmail damage!
Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.
Champion
Damage reduction from Royal Maelstrom (E) indirectly increases Thornmail's damage as it increases your effective HP and you can take more hits.
