Bayonetta 2
In Bayonetta 2, Belief is one of the first enemies fought and act as a mini boss in the prologue where he is trying to chase the train on which Bayonetta landed after the destruction of her jet. He is ultimately defeated by Gomorrah who use that opportunity to escape Bayonetta's control and take form in the World of Chaos. During her journey to Noatun, Bayonetta fight other Belief who try to stop her and she even fight some with the Umbran Armor when she travel back in time in chapter XIV. Like most other enemies, it can be fought as part of the Tag Climax mode once his card has been unlocked.

Hierarchy of Laguna
"Belonging to the Second Sphere, Beliefs are considered a Power, the sixth rank of the angelic hierarchy. Their sturdy, dominating size makes them an ideal candidate for giving orders on the front lines during wars with Inferno. The gigantic snakelike right arm of Beliefs has caused them to often be depicted in legends as hideous creatures, but in reality, this feature is meant to be a divine whip for binding evil with its unwavering faith."
