Everything about Bellara Companion in Dragon Age The Veilguard

Bellara is a creative, romantic, and sensible character who knows who she is and what she wants. She is from the Veil Jumpers faction which consists of daring explorers who are dedicated to uncovering the secrets of ancient elven ruins. She is a Mage class companion with electricity-infused abilities that she can cast from a distance to deal damage. In addition to her potential abilities, she is also caring and has a healing ability to heal Rook.

Moreover, Bellara also has knowledge of control magic, which allows her to diminish foes and support her companions. Her obsession with uncovering the mysteries of ancient elven ruins makes her an essential companion to unlock. Because the world of Thedas is filled with secrets and mysteries, if the players have unlocked Bellara, they will get access to the ability to interact with ancient elven artifacts in the world that can lead to the opening of a secret pathway and area, or unique items.

We know that every companion in the Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a unique ability that allows them to manipulate something in the game world. For Bellara, it is her Tinker action that becomes available after unlocking her as a companion. She is the only companion right now with a known game-world manipulative ability.

The Lighthouse and Bellara

The Lighthouse is the player hub area where you will get to gather with all of your recruited companions. You can interact and exchange dialogues to grow your relationship with them, which can eventually turn into romantic options. The companions play a crucial role in the overall narrative of the game providing you with aid in both enemy encounters and exploration. Every companion is skilled in their pre-defined class and provides you with great assistance with the set of skills during combat.

Order your companions to use either priming or detonating abilities that will help you create unique combos to annihilate the fighting grounds. As you cannot use companions by yourself, synergizing your build with the companions’ abilities will help you outplay the strong enemies. Outside of combat grounds, each companion will often exchange dialogue with you upon progressing your character and provide you with more dialogue options whenever you are dealing with an NPC from a corresponding faction of your companion.

Speaking of companions and their related factions, here are all the companions associated with factions and classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

• Bellara (Veil Jumpers): Mage
• Davrin (Grey Wardens): Warrior
• Emmrich Volkarin (The Mourn Watch): Mage
• Lace Harding (Inquisition): Rogue
• Lucanis Dellamorte (Antivan Crows): Rogue
• Neve Gallus (Shadow Dragons): Mage

Bellara Faction

Selecting a Faction for Rook is a mandatory process at the beginning of the game as every faction provides certain traits. In the case of Bellara, she is from the Veil Jumpers faction and if you select a similar faction as Bellara, you will get bonus traits providing you with more damage output against Fade-touched and deal more critical and weak point damage to enemies.

• Close to the Veil: Gain reputation with the Veil Jumpers more quickly.
• Attuned Strikes: Deal increased damage vs. Fade-Touched.
• Keen Eye: Deal slightly increased critical and weak point damage.

So, if you are considering a Melee DPS-focused build for your character, Veil Jumpers will give you a slight edge on dealing more critical and weak point damage to the enemies. It is best for a Melee DPS build with Duelist Specialization. Moreover, with Bellara on your side, she will be able to slow down time for you to get additional hits in and shoot down enemies from a distance to assist you in combat.

Here is a quick look at the characteristics of Bellara in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

• Race: Elf
• Gender: Female
• Class: Mage
• Specialization: Rogue
• Faction: Veil Jumpers
• Romance: Yes

Where to find Bellara in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

The exact location of Bellara is unknown at this time due to the limited introduction of the companions and combat system by the Devs. We will update this portion of the guide once we get the information on what point you meet Bellara and what procedures you need to undertake to unlock her.

Bellara Equipment

Bellara is a Mage who focuses on doing electricity damage and supports her companions with Control Magic. She uses Bow as her primary weapon to target enemies from a distance and she wears a Ring in her off-hand. In addition to the weapon and the ring, the other equipment slots include an Armor Set and Amulet.

There are only four slots for all companions, which is less than Rook’s nine slots. The equipment slots on the left side for the companions include main weapons, and the slots on the right include armor set pieces and trinkets.

• Equipment Slot 1: Bow
• Equipment Slot 2: Ring
• Equipment Slot 3: Armor Set
• Equipment Slot 4: Amulet

While being a Mage Rogue, Bellara utilizes the Bow for most of the time to assist her companions from a distance. However, her Control Magic can be of great aid like slowing down time or pulling an enemy to a certain point. You can deal potential damage to enemies inflicted by her magic on top of the electricity damage from Bellara.

Another thing that is worth mentioning is that all companions have their own progression system so as they gain experience and level up, they will gain access to better equipment options, and new skills. Speaking of skills, let’s discuss Bellara’s starting abilities.

Bellara Abilities

Bellara’s set of starting abilities hold skills that allow her to inflict various status effects on enemies, such as Weakened, Stagger, Shocked, and Detonate the Sundered. In addition to these status effects, the hits with the bow and magic of Bellara deal electricity damage. Here is a list of all Bellara’s starting abilities and their effects.

• Enfeebling Shot: Bellara fires a magic-infused shot from her bow and deals 222 electricity damage to the target. It applies Weakened status effect on an enemy and has a base cooldown of 36 seconds.
• Fade Bolts: Bellara unleashes a volley of magic projectiles that deal 369 electricity damage and apply stagger on hit. It detonates the Sundered status effect and has a base cooldown of 48 seconds.
• Galvanized Tear: Bellara creates a controlled tear that draws enemies toward a point and deals 246 electricity damage. The tear does not pull allies and has a base cooldown of 36 seconds.
• Replenish: Bellara provides Rook with a magical lifeline that instantly replenishes health by 448 points. It has a base cooldown of 36 seconds.
• Time Slow: Bellara slows down time affects enemies and allies’ movement speed, but Rook’s movement stays at normal speed. It has a base cooldown of 48 seconds.

The overall composition of Bellara revolves around dealing damage to enemies from a distance. With her magic-infused shots and the ability to cast control magic, the players can deal potential damage to the enemies while they are slowed or pulled into the tear. Bellara is a great support character and her powers synergize greatly with Melee DPS build for your character.

Bellara Build Guide

From Bellara’s equipment and abilities, we know that she is a great support character and healer who can fill up the missing gaps from your Rook’s build. The preferred build for your Rook with Bellara as a companion is Melee DPS. Because it will allow you to take advantage of various opportunities that Bellara creates with her abilities. Moreover, the second companion that we would recommend is Davrin. He is a great Tank character with close and ranged abilities. Also, it completes the overall composition of your party with 1 Melee DPS, 1 Mage/Ranged DPS, and 1 Tank.

Creating combos with companions will aid you efficiently in Dragon Age: The Veilguard which relies on prime and detonate attacks. With Bellara and Davrin, you can use Bellara’s Enfeebling Shot (ability) to apply the Weakened effect on an enemy. Then you order Davrin to use Death from Above to detonate and amplify the impact of the effect.

Moreover, with your Melee DPS build, you can use abilities like Toxic Dash to apply the Sundered status effect on an enemy. Then you can order Bellara to use Fade Bolts to detonate the Sundered effect on the enemy. Lastly, in the time of need for healing, you can order Bellara to heal your character instantly for 448 Health Points with Replenish ability.

Now, you can alter the builds throughout your adventure, and as Bellara progresses, you can freely select advanced skills from her skill lines for better composition.
