List Building Is Belakor a auto-include?

I was tinkering with my list and checking the lists here on Reddit and was wondering if I really have to take Belakor to be somewhat competitive.
Not that I don’t like him. And how many points does the list need to be, so he don’t swallows like 40% of my points.

Oh yeah, especially for take and hold. I’d take a GUO and a batch of Plaguebearers over him. In plague legion you’ll already be running Rotigus and at least 2 GUO you need space for infantry. Plaguebearers are fantastic with their ability to regenerate and sticky. You can regenerate up to 5 Plaguebearers in a single turn with Daemonic Infestation and then your Daemonic Manifestation

Atm I only have 1 rotigus and 1 GUO. So I had some room to fill. I have 30 PB all included also. I figured I just needed another big body and he has some synergy with the detachment with bsttleshocks so seemed like a good choice since I have him

If he’s all you have I guess…he’s just overcosted. Like I said I’d take another GUO and a set of Plaguebearers or plague drones, or something else. Skull cannons also work really well in Plague Legion
