Hero Skills

Nolan has a passive skill, 2 activated abilities and an ultimate. Let's look at them in more detail so that they can be used correctly in battles.

Passive Skill - Dimensional Rift

Nolan's skills leave a rift that lasts 5 seconds and slows enemies by 30%. When the rifts touch each other, they activate, pulling enemies towards the center and dealing physical damage after a short delay. The character will receive 15 energy if the activation of the rift hits an enemy or an enemy creep. Hitting an enemy into a rift again deals 60% less damage.

Space jump - If Nolan does not receive damage from enemy heroes and does not attack them himself, then the next basic attack will be strengthened. This will allow you to rush towards your target and leave a rift behind.

First Skill - Expansion

Nolan uses the Cosmic Meter and cuts a rectangular area in front of him. Enemies in the area will take physical damage and a rift will be created at the location of the first enemy hit.

Second Skill - Calibration

The character rushes forward and deals physical damage with the Cosmic Meter to all enemies in his path. Leaves a rift behind.

Ultimate - Shatter

Nolan cuts the indicated area 3 times. Each cut deals physical damage and leaves behind 3 rifts that activate automatically. The hero automatically moves back after using the ultimate.

early game

First of all, take Retribution, shoes for the forest and upgrade your first skill. After this, you can take the purple buff and the monster on the water to get a slight advantage in speed and gold. Try to clear your forest as quickly as possible, and then, if possible, take farm from the enemy killer.

Don't forget about your teammates on the lines! If they need help, be sure to move towards them. Early kills will help you farm faster and become stronger.

Mid game

If possible, take the Turtle or Lord, as this will give gold to all allies.

Rifts are one of the main sources of damage, so always keep an eye on where they appear. Try to make sure that they are always connected or located as close to each other as possible. Thanks to this, opponents will be attracted to the center of the rifts and receive passive damage.

late game

At this stage, Nolan deals enormous damage, but opponents are also able to quickly destroy the hero. You have to be careful and choose the right position. Your main targets are shooters and magicians. Try to get around them from the rear while the rest of the enemies are distracted by your allies.

But if your teammates need help and the enemy has a numerical advantage, be sure to go to a team battle. Under the cover of a good tank or a fighter with a lot of health, Nolan will be able to deal colossal damage due to the rapid recharge of his abilities.
