Basic Natalya Natalya combo:

How to Use Natalya's Skills Effectively

  • Try to land skills on the enemy continuously — the more you land, the more damage stacks up.
  • Try to cast it so as many phantoms as possible hit the enemy hero — besides maximizing damage, it also gives more cooldown reduction and energy.
  • You can also use this skill to clear minions fast, check bushes, or contest objectives very effectively.
  • Crowd-control the enemy with Skill 2 first, then Skill 1 Arcane Spirits Arcane Spirits will be more precise.
  • Save Skill 2 for important situations, like cornering the enemy or crowd-controlling anyone trying to close in on you.
  • Pick a good spot to cast it, like tight terrain, to make it harder for the enemy to dodge.
  • While casting, you can use the movement keys to redirect the energy beam.
  • Time it precisely to dodge crowd control and big damage from the enemy, taking advantage of the crowd-control immunity and shield this skill grants.
  • If you want to cancel the skill while casting, press it again.

How to Play Natalya in the Early Game

In the early game, use Skill 1 Arcane Spirits Arcane Spirits to clear minions fast, then move into the enemy jungle to steal it, or hide and suddenly attack the enemy jungler for an easy kill or at least to set them back.

Although its accuracy isn’t high, Natalya Natalya ‘s skills deal extremely high damage, so try to aim carefully and you can completely dominate the mid lane.

How to Play Natalya in the Mid Game

In the mid game, focus on clearing minions and pressuring turrets, and avoid ganking alone since Natalya Natalya is very immobile and has no pick tool.

To make up for that, with big damage and a wide damage area, ping your allies to push turrets together, contest objectives, and attack Dragon and Caesar to unlock this hero’s full power.

How to Play Natalya in the Late Game

By the late game, it’s best to always move with your allies to be ready for full team fights at any moment.

Hold a safe backward position and continuously spam skills into the enemy formation, prioritizing the enemy’s core damage dealer to unload damage.

Activate Skill 3 Lethal Rays Lethal Rays at the right moment to dodge damage and crowd control aimed at you while reflecting a large amount of damage back onto the enemy.
