Sinergias

Beatrix

Layla

Novaria works well with other long-range heroes like Beatrix and Layla because her Ultimate makes any target a sitting duck for her team to pick off.

Vantagem contra

Eudora

Odette

Novaria counters Mages with shorter range and low mobility, such as Eudora and Odette, because these heroes can't reach Novaria while Novaria can hit them with her 2nd Skill.

Cuidado contra

Saber

Hayabusa

Novaria is countered by Assassins with strong targeted burst damage, such as Saber and Hayabusa, because they can easily close in on Novaria and burst her down.

LANE TIPS

General lane advice, not professional player guides. Source item and ability descriptions may be in English.

1
In mid, clear the wave before rotating; follow your jungler without losing lane experience.
2
Adapt the remaining build slots to enemy damage and healing; do not buy the same items every match.
3
Before engaging, check which enemies are visible on the minimap and wait for key crowd-control abilities to be used.
