Nana is a fan favorite amongst Mages. She is known for her extreme Magic Damage in attack and high durability through her Passive Skill (Molina’s Gift) where she becomes immune while transforming into a cat that automatically sprints away. 

Harassing Opponents through the use of Nana’s Second Skill (Molina’s Smooch) that transforms opponents and reduces their Magic Damage must be mastered in timing and execution. Her First Skill (Magic Boomerang) comes very handy in clearing minion waves. Here are Nana’s strengths and weaknesses.

 

Strengths

  • Range - Melee attacks provide a decent basic attack mechanism that complements her First and Second Skills. Nana is viewed as a ranged hero who is capable of dealing damage to targets from afar if timed adequately.
  • Roam - Taking on the role of Tanks, Nana is capable of initiating successful team fights. Her high chances of survival through her Passive Skill enables her to take on front lines in battle while her Second Skill clears the way for potential threats.
  • Utility - Supporting teammates is part of Nana’s attributes as she has enough damage in attack to set or end team fights. She can  poke and harass other heroes, which paves the way for teammates to gain circumstantial advantage.
  • Crowd Control (CC) - Nana has a powerful combination when her skills are used in tandem. Together they compose Area of Effect (AoE) and Debuffs, where they render an opponent vulnerable for at least 5 seconds.
 

Weaknesses.

  • Mobility - Though great in Roam, Nana is not as mobile as other Mages. She is slow and this shows when her Passive Skill (Molina’s Gift) is not supported by a turret, where other heroes can easily catch up to her.
  • Squishy - As a High Magic Damage Dealer, Nana is weak against savage attacks. Her Passive Skill (Molina’s Gift) allows her safe passage if ambushed while her Second Skill (Molina Smooch) clears potential threats for her to clear to safety in time.
  • Support - Being a Utility Hero has a disadvantage. Relying on support from core damage dealers amongst other relevant roles brings out the best or worst in Nana. Having patience and capitalizing on build is an obvious tactic to having control over a game.
 

Nana is a pace setter and game changer who costs only 6500 BP and is a must-have for ML Gamers. She is fun to play and brings the spirit of traditional arcade gaming into the Moba Arena. Here are The Best Nana Builds that win games.

 

3. Sustained DPS

This build is best used when Nana takes on her traditional middle lane role as a Mage. It enables her to harass and clear lanes early in the game, then/and or even provide support when her lane objectives are cleared. Though slow, Nana deals significant damage.

This is a balanced build for Nana, as it complements her Magic Damage in attack while addressing her lack of speed in movement with life sustaining items. Timing in attack and offense is crucial in this case, as well as keeping a safe distance for her Passive Skill.

This build is best against a team with a complete line up. Nana can slow farming and back up teammates in the Jungle when necessary, as the middle lane is closest to both farm territories. 

This build is for synchronized gameplay, where all roles have been filled to effect.

This is a build that supports other teammates in their roles and objectives throughout battle. This is best suited to a team that has versatile heroes and can back each other up in taking on roles. Nana as a key center point can provide rotation that will catch opponents off guard.

This being said, the build may also pave the way for poking through the Jungle to disarm ambush opportunities and initiate team fights. Nana is a team support and cannot play core unless the opposing team is lacking skill and understanding.
