Best Dolia Build, Rune Page & Guide for 2026

Passive Abyssal Spirit :

Dolia ‘s basic attacks and skills are all empowered while she’s on water terrain.

Always try to move through water to keep getting healed and reduce slow effects.

Skill 1 Ocean's Aria :

Use its splash range to clear minions fast, poke the enemy, and check bushes.

Take advantage of the enemy knockback when Dolia casts this skill on water to protect your allies.

Skill 2 Tidal Return :

Use this skill to continuously restore energy for allies who need to spam skills.

When you see the enemy closing in to attack your core damage dealer, use Skill 2 to jump right beside them to heal, then knock the enemy away with Skill 1 Ocean's Aria .

You can also use this skill to cross terrain to chase or escape a fight.

Skill 3 Mermaid's Hymn :

Use this skill to refresh the most important skills in a fight, like Astrolabe from Dirak or Cataclysm from Ilumia …

Use Skill 3’s Deep Sea Spirit passive to link with your strongest ally or the hero whose skill has the most impact on the fight.

In the early game, go to the mid lane to help your mid laner farm minions fast and control vision on both sides of the river while scouting the enemy jungler’s position.

Take advantage of the water terrain in the mid lane for continuous sustain and to poke and pressure the enemy mid laner. When there’s an opening, call your allies to secure Dragon or Caesar early for an advantage.

Play proactively, but also watch carefully to avoid getting ganked, since Dolia has very low health and dies easily.

If the match doesn’t have many fights and your team will be stronger late game, follow and protect your marksman while farming.

If there are a lot of fights breaking out, follow high-damage heroes in the mid game like mages or assassins to buff them.

Organize small skirmishes continuously and attack major objectives near water terrain to maximize Dolia ‘s power.

Switch your Deep Sea Spirit link to whichever ally is strongest during this phase.

In the late game, always move with your team and hold a backward position, continuously using Skill 2 Tidal Return to create a healing pool for your team’s core damage dealer.

Use Skill 3’s Mermaid's Hymn passive to link with an ally who has an extremely powerful ultimate, like Ilumia , Krixi , or Dirak …, to let them use their ultimate twice for a huge advantage in the fight.
