Nakoruru’s Skills

Passive Skill: Dancing Sword Arts

  • Effect: After hitting an enemy with an ability, Nakoruru’s next Basic Attack is enhanced, dealing an extra 80 (+100% extra Physical Attack) physical damage. This passive significantly increases her damage potential, making her Basic Attacks even more devastating after casting abilities.

Ability 1: Amube Yatoro

  • Type: Damage
  • Cooldown: 10s
  • Mana Cost: 60
  • Effect: Nakoruru summons Mamahaha to attack a target, dealing 350 (+155% extra Physical Attack) physical damage and marking them with Eagle Eye. Further damage from Nakoruru detonates the mark, dealing physical damage equal to 6% of the enemy’s max Health. For every 40 extra Physical Attack, the detonation damage increases by 1%. The maximum detonation damage against jungle monsters is capped at 200. Detonating the mark reduces Ability 1’s cooldown by 3s and restores 30 Mana.
  • Strategy: Use this ability to poke enemies and set up powerful combos. The Eagle Eye Mark is especially effective against tanky opponents.

Ability 2: Annu Mutsube

  • Type: Damage
  • Cooldown: 5s
  • Mana Cost: 50
  • Effect: Nakoruru dashes forward, dealing 350 (+170% extra Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies in her path. She restores 300 (+110% extra Physical Attack) Health for each enemy hero hit. Against jungle monsters, she deals 50% extra damage but recovers only 35% of the Health.
  • Strategy: Use this ability for quick engages, escapes, and efficient jungle clearing. The healing component adds sustain during fights.

Ultimate: Mamahaha Flight

  • Type: Damage / Crowd Control
  • Cooldown: 12s
  • Mana Cost: 120
  • Effect: Nakoruru summons Mamahaha, gaining 50% Movement Speed for 6s (diminishing over time). Reactivating the ability causes her to leap down, dealing 580 (+240% extra Physical Attack) physical damage to nearby enemies and reducing their Movement Speed by 50% for 3s.
