SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Nakoruru
Passive
DANCING SWORD ARTS
Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
When Nakoruru’s skills hit an enemy, her next basic attack becomes an enhanced attack, dealing an additional 80 (+100% Bonus Physical Attack) physical damage.
Tips: This significantly enhances Nakoruru’s basic attack damage. Since the effect cannot stack, you need to manage your skill usage rhythm and ensure high accuracy.
Skill 01
AMUBE YATORO
Cooldown: 10/9.5/9/8.5/8/7.5s, Cost: 60
Nakoruru summons Mamahaha to attack enemies in a specified direction, dealing 350/400/450/500/550/600 (+155% Bonus Physical Attack) physical damage and applying the Eagle Eye mark to enemies. Nakoruru’s other damage can trigger the mark, dealing physical damage equal to 6% of the target’s maximum health. For every 40 points of bonus physical attack, this damage increases by 1%. Triggering the mark with Amube Yatoro reduces its cooldown by 3 seconds and restores 35 mana.
Tips: Use this skill to mark enemies first, then use other sources of damage to trigger the mark, dealing significant damage to the enemy.
Skill 02
ANNU MUTSUBE
Cooldown: 6s, Cost: 50
Nakoruru dashes in the designated direction, dealing 350/420/490/560/630/700 (+170% Bonus Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies in her path. For each enemy hero hit, she recovers 300/350/400/450/500/550 (+110% Bonus Physical Attack) health. When this skill hits jungle monsters, the damage dealt is increased by 50%, and Nakoruru’s health recovery is 35% of what it would be from hitting a hero.
Tips: Try to hit as many heroes as possible to maximize your health recovery.
Ultimate
MAMAHAHA FLIGHT
Cooldown: 12s, Cost: 120
Nakoruru summons Mamahaha to fight alongside her, immediately increasing her movement speed by 50% for 6 seconds, although this effect gradually diminishes over time. Recasting Mamahaha Flight, Nakoruru charges towards a designated area, dealing 580/830/1080 (+240% Bonus Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies and reducing their movement speed by 50% for 3 seconds. Enemies hit by the impact have their damage output reduced by 30% for 3 seconds.
Tips: This skill is versatile, offering both offensive and defensive capabilities. It provides strong mobility and significant damage, but note that Nakoruru cannot use basic attacks or other skills during the flight phase.

Recommended Combo Sequence
Activate Skill 3 for speed, use Skill 1 to mark the enemy, then use Skill 3 again for damage, intersperse basic attacks and Skill 2 for output.
Nakoruru Best Partners
- Zhong Kui: With his control abilities, Zhong Kui is the best partner for a high burst hero like Nakoruru who lacks hard control abilities, allowing her to safely deal tons of damage after his control.
- Bai Qi: Nakoruru’s high damage but short attack range benefits from Bai Qi’s ult and Skill 2, which can help Nakoruru catch enemies, allowing her to follow up with her ult for a skill combo to kill the enemy.
Nakoruru Counter
- Xiang Yu can push her away or control her to limit her output after Nakoruru enters the fight.
- Zhang Liang’s hard control can hold Nakoruru down and kill her.
- Avoid being attacked by Nakoruru after being marked by Eagle Eye; Nakoruru has high attack and mobility, requiring control skills to hold her down for a quick kill.
Gameplay Tips
Detail 1: Skill 3 allows for rapid movement.
Detail 2: High damage output when skills hit followed by basic attacks.
Nakoruru has multiple ways to dive into the enemy backline, can use “Annu Mutsube” to charge in, or activate her ult to maneuver around the frontline, seizing the opportunity to cast it again and enter the battlefield for high damage. In some cases, Nakoruru can also use her ult’s burst speed for positioning or escaping.
