How to Play Mina in the Early Game

In the early game, rush to mid to hide, then suddenly pull the enemy in, or pull a jungle monster away while the enemy is farming it to set them back.

Then return to lane to help your marksman farm minions and hold the lane; during this, you can use Skill 2 Death Scythe Death Scythe to group minions together, helping your AD farm faster.

How to Play Mina in the Mid Game

By the mid game, focus on using Skill 3 Dark Dominion Dark Dominion well to pick off enemies.

Whenever your ultimate is about to come off cooldown, rotate to gank enemy heroes pushing up, hide and time your pull and hypnosis for your allies to burst them down.

In a fight, take advantage of Mina Mina ‘s durability and high movement speed to stick to high-damage enemy heroes, keeping them from freely attacking your allies.

How to Play Mina in the Late Game

By the late game, always move with your allies to be ready for full team fights; Mina Mina ‘s job is to protect your marksman and find a way to crowd-control the enemy’s core damage dealer.

In a fight, hold a forward position as a shield for your allies, then depending on the situation, combo Skill 2 Death Scythe Death Scythe and Skill 3 Dark Dominion Dark Dominion to crowd-control an enemy assassin trying to close in on your core damage dealer, or dive in to hypnotize the enemy’s core damage dealer so your allies can finish them off.
