A Non-Burst Natalia

wrenlara

I've been trying to experiment with a new Natalia playstyle: Attack Speed Natalia
So here's the idea: Natalia's second skill increases attack speed by 50% at max level. If you build attack speed items on Natalia, she becomes like a melee marksman.

The build I'm using is

- Rapid Boots / Dire Hit - For Extra Damage
- War Axe - This is for penetration
- Demon hunter sword - Core Item
-  Corrosion Scythe
- Windtalker
- Blade of Despair

Emblem Set is:
Assassin Set -
- Agility for movement speed
- Invasion for penetration
- High and Dry for more damage

The spell I use for this playstyle is Inspire.

In the Early to Mide game, the goal is to kill the jungler as quick as possible. Then rotate to sidelines after every kill. This would delay the enemy jungler allowing for your team to have a lead.
In the Mid game to Late game, the goal is to split push towers and kill out of position marksman/mages since Inspire Natalia with Demon Hunter Sword can melt towers.

As of now, I know this is not the meta way to play Natalia, but it's fun to be creative sometimes. The burst build is still way superior and I'm still looking for ways to make this playstyle work. Any suggestions?

Interesting, but the new nata is more suited for a burst type. Gotta try this out too, thanks for sharing . I think this build will work great, with jungler nata.

Oh, I hadn't thought about that idea yet but it's pretty creative! Though, I think if you use that kind of build it might get a bit hard to kill squishy heroes as fast as with the "meta" build. But I guess Blade of Despair might work out for that. Or maybe you could use execute instead of inspire as she already has got lots of attack speed.

Ive done attack speed nat. It is not bad as u could actually 1v1 anyone and push.
