Dolia Skills and Abilities

Mermaird Gifts (Passive) (including rivers): Doria transforms into a mermaid form, reducing slow effects by 50% and regenerating 70 health and 5 mana per second. Her basic attacks in mermaid form shoot water arrows, causing area damage. Doria’s [Recovery] is replaced with [Gift of the Mermaid], forming a pact with a chosen ally, prioritizing them with [Song of the Heavens].
Cooldown: 0s Cost: 0 Tips: Dolia has a higher health and mana regeneration effect in water, providing impressive sustainability.

Ode (Skill 01) Doria’s singing sends out 4 sonic waves, with the first 3 causing 125/150/175/200/225/250 (+16% AP) magic damage and a 10% slow. The 4th wave causes 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+35% AP) magic damage and a 50 slow, lasting 1 second. The sonic waves cause an echo when hitting enemies, dealing 150/180/210/240/270/300 (+16% AP) magic damage. If released in water, it also generates waves that knock back enemies (with stun effect on nearby enemies). Non-hero units trigger a smaller echo, dealing 50% damage.
Cooldown: 12/11.6/11.2/10.8/10.4/10s Cost: 50 Tips: The ability to knock back is available as long as it is cast in water.

Wavebreaker (Skil 02): Dolia leaps forward into mermaid form. If she lands on the ground, she creates a water area, healing nearby allies for 300/360/420/480/540/600 (+40% AP). Allies in the water area regenerate health and mana like Dolia. If released in water or jumping into water, 30% of the cooldown is refunded. The water area disappears 4 seconds after Dolia leaves it.
Cooldown: 12/11.6/11.2/10.8/10.4/10s Cost: 60 Tips: A new water area is not created if the skill lands in existing water.

Celestial Melody (Ultimate) After a brief chant, Dolia refreshes the longest current cooldown skill of an ally within range, taking on 10/9/8 (+120% of the current skill cooldown) of the cooldown time. If the ally does not use the refreshed skill, the cooldown recovery speed of [Song of the Heavens] increases by 20%. Allies using the refreshed skill within 5 seconds do not consume energy, and any kills are shared with Doria. Prioritizes pact allies for skill refresh, then non-pact allies. If no allies are nearby, refreshes her own skill. A significant portion of [Celestial Melody]’s cooldown is refunded if the refresh fails.

• Using Skill 2 followed by Skill 1 can consistently execute a knock-up. Counter Tactics
• Coordinate with teammates to disrupt Doria’s formation; she is vulnerable to aggressive, face-to-face compositions.
• Choose heroes with high skill value for synergy.
• Try to chain skills with basic attacks for output, and use the ultimate to knock enemies into terrain edges for maximum control and damage.

Dolia Best Partners

• Haino: Can refresh Haino’s Skill 1, enabling a hidden ultimate skill at max level.
• Lu Bu: Refreshing Lu Bu’s ultimate can significantly enhance his team-fighting ability.
• Zhao Yun: Similar to Dharma, Zhao Yun is a semi-tank warrior with control abilities and self-healing, also possessing dash skills. The combination of Dharma and Zhao Yun can highly increase the success rate of capturing enemies. Their combo involves Dharma using Skill 1 to initiate and Zhao Yun using his ultimate for additional control, followed by strategic placement and simultaneous skill use for armor reduction and high physical damage.
• Li Bai: If Dharma initiates with Skill 1, Li Bai can follow up with a stun, providing Dharma ample time to position for his ultimate. When Dharma’s ultimate stuns the enemy team, Li Bai can follow up with armor reduction, making it easier for both to execute their ultimate abilities and secure kills.
