Lore

A scholar that wanders the universe with split souls to save his daughter. Nolan, a poised and prominent scholar from Eruditio, yearned to unlock the secrets of the multiverse. But after discovering a cosmic threat of unimaginable proprtions, he was forced to give up everything he held dear in order to stop it. Despite his initial efforts, Nolan fell into despair when he realized that the ever-expanding Calamity would soon find its way to his world... to his daughter, Layla. But he could not give up. As he looked beyond the universe for a solution, he discovered a silver hope within himself: his soul. Thus, Nolan left everything behind and set out on his mission across the multiverse, scattering fragments of his soul as beacons to trap the Calamity. Through all of the pain he has endured, he never lost sight of his goal... his Layla.

Dimensional Rift

Damage

Nolan's skills will leave a Rift. When a rift comes into contact with another rift, they will activate and pull enemies to their center and deal 240 (+140% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage after a short delay. Each time a rift activation hits an enemy, Nolan will gain 25 Energy. If an enemy is hit by multiple rift activations, the damage after the first hit will be reduced by 40%. Cosmic Leap: If Nolan does not deal or take damage for 5s, he enhances his next Basic Attack to dash to the target, dealing (+120% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and leaving a Rift. (Damage to and from Minions or Creeps will not prevent Nolan from getting this effect.)

Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Nolan counters squishy heroes that lack mobility skills like Hanabi and Eudora because they have a hard time avoiding his rifts while Nolan's own mobility makes them easy targets.

Countered by

Nolan is countered by tanky heroes with high sustained damage, such as Thamuz and Fredrinn, who can survive Nolan's burst and kill him afterwards.

Compatibility

Nolan works well with Tanks that can initiate and CC the enemy so Nolan to focus on dealing as much damage as possible, such as Tigreal and Gatotkaca.
