Nana MLBB Guide

Nana is a Mage who wins by making enemies move through bad choices. Her strongest pattern is not raw burst first; it is Molina Smooch into a reliable Molina Blitz window, then Magic Boomerang for follow-up damage, wave control, or the final hit. Molina's Gift gives one layer of anti-burst insurance, but its long cooldown means Nana still has to play around spacing, vision, and peel.

Nana Skills Explained

Nana's kit is built around control before damage. Molina Smooch creates the transform and Magic Defense reduction, Molina Blitz rewards targets who stay in the area, Magic Boomerang supplies lane poke and finish damage, and Molina's Gift keeps Nana alive once every long cooldown cycle.

Molina's Gift

Passive. Upon taking fatal damage, Nana removes all debuffs on her and transforms, becoming untargetable and invincible, and gains 30% Movement Speed for 2s. She also recovers 10% Max HP over the duration.

Nana can only transform once every 150s and cannot cast skills in the transformed form.

Use it when

Let this passive protect you from fatal burst, then move toward teammates, brush, or turret range.

Why it works

It removes debuffs, grants invincibility and untargetability, adds 30% Movement Speed for 2s, and restores 10% Max HP.

Do not

Do not trade as if it is always available. The 150s transform cooldown means one forced passive can decide the next fight.

Transform: High level Crowd Control: Prevents a target from using Basic Attacks and skills, and transforms the target into a critter. Can interrupt a large number of skills.
Damage Immunity: Buff: Gains immunity to enemy damage and damage effects.

Magic Boomerang

CD: 6.0 | Mana Cost: 55 | Spell Vamp Ratio: 50%. Nana hurls her Magic Boomerang in the target direction, dealing damage to enemies hit on its way out and back. The boomerang deals 300 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to the first enemy hit. For every additional enemy hit, the damage is reduced by 10% (max reduction of 30%).

Cooldown	6.0, 5.7, 5.4, 5.1, 4.8, 4.5
Skill Cost	55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80
Base Damage	300, 340, 380, 420, 460, 500

Use it when

Use it to clear and poke through the same line, especially after Molina Smooch has slowed or transformed the target.

Why it works

The outgoing and return path can both matter, and the first target takes 300 to 500 base Magic Damage by level before scaling.

Do not

Do not throw it only at the front minion if you can angle it through the enemy hero and the wave.

Magic Damage Skill: Deals Magic Damage to enemies. Triggers Spell Vamp.
Movement Speed: Movement Speed in battlefield. Calculated Movement Speed = Basic Movement Speed * (100% + All Speedup Effect% - All Slowdown Effect%). Usually calculated and actual Movement Speed are equal. But when Movement Speed is below 160 or over 420, both Slowdown and Speedup Effect will decay.

Molina Smooch

CD: 12.0 | Mana Cost: 80. Nana throws Molina at the target location, dealing 250 (+50% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies within range and Transforming enemy heroes hit into small animals.

If Molina does not hit an enemy hero, she will remain on the ground and chase the nearest enemy hero that comes into range, Transforming the first enemy hero she touches.

Transform: Reduces the target's Movement Speed by 50% and Magic Defense by 30% for 1.5s. Transformed heroes cannot attack or use skills.

Cooldown	12.0, 11.4, 10.8, 10.2, 9.6, 9.0
Skill Cost	80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105
Morph Damage	250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375

Use it when

Use this as Nana's main setup and anti-dive tool. Cast it where the enemy wants to walk, not only where they are standing now.

Why it works

Transform cuts Movement Speed by 50%, lowers Magic Defense by 30%, and blocks attacks and skills for 1.5s.

Do not

Do not waste it into empty lane when an assassin is missing. Without Smooch ready, Nana is much easier to chase after Molina's Gift is forced.

Transform: High level Crowd Control: Prevents a target from using Basic Attacks and skills, and transforms the target into a critter. Can interrupt a large number of skills.
Magic Damage Skill: Deals Magic Damage to enemies. Triggers Spell Vamp.
Magic Defense: Reduces Magic Damage taken. Actual Magic Damage taken = Magic Damage dealt by the enemy * 120/(120 + Magic Defense). Magic Defense will be affected by the enemy's Magic Penetration but will not be lower than -60.

Molina Blitz

CD: 36.0 | Mana Cost: 135 | Spell Vamp Ratio: 50%. Nana summons Molina to strike the target area 3 times, each time dealing 440 (+140% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies within and slowing them by 30% for 1s. Enemies hit consecutively will be stunned for 1s.

Cooldown	36.0, 32.0, 28.0
Skill Cost	135, 150, 165
Base Damage	440, 520, 600

Use it when

Cast it after Smooch, allied control, or a chokepoint keeps the target inside the strike area.

Why it works

It strikes three times, slows by 30%, and stuns enemies hit consecutively, so setup matters more than raw aim.

Do not

Do not open with it against mobile heroes that can walk out before the second and third hit.

Stun: Basic level Crowd Control: Prevents a target from moving, and using Basic Attacks and skills. Can interrupt some skills.
Magic Damage Skill: Deals Magic Damage to enemies. Triggers Spell Vamp.
Movement Speed: Movement Speed in battlefield. Calculated Movement Speed = Basic Movement Speed * (100% + All Speedup Effect% - All Slowdown Effect%). Usually calculated and actual Movement Speed are equal. But when Movement Speed is below 160 or over 420, both Slowdown and Speedup Effect will decay.

Nana Skill Priority and Combos

Teamfight Combo: Molina Smooch -> Molina Blitz -> Magic Boomerang

1. Transform or slow

->

2. Stun window

->

3. Finish or poke out

Why it works: Smooch makes the target easier to keep inside Molina Blitz, and Blitz rewards repeated hits. Boomerang comes after the control window because its return path can finish low HP enemies or punish anyone walking through the same line.

Do not: start with Blitz into a target that still has dash tools and open space.

Laning Combo: Molina Smooch -> Magic Boomerang

1. Zone or transform

->

2. Hit hero and wave

Why it works: Smooch threatens the enemy hero while Boomerang keeps lane control. This lets Nana poke without giving up minion pressure.

Do not: spend Smooch carelessly if the enemy jungler or roamer can dive before it returns.

How to Play Nana by Game Phase

Five Mistakes That Cost Nana Fights

Best Nana Emblem and Battle Spell

Use the captured Pro Setup damage route as Nana's default: Custom Assassin Emblem with Rupture, Weapon Master, and Lethal Ignition, then take Flameshot as the main Battle Spell. This route fits Nana's current job: create a transform window, make the follow-up damage hurt, and finish enemies who survive Molina Blitz plus Magic Boomerang.

Default Emblem: Custom Assassin Damage Route

When to use it: choose this route when Nana is playing for burst picks, mid-lane poke pressure, and follow-up damage after Molina Smooch.

Why: the route supports penetration and repeated spell damage, matching the top Pro Setup tag pair of Burst and Penetration.

Do not: do not treat this icon-only capture as proof of exact talent numbers. Use the route for its damage and penetration plan, then recheck the in-game Emblem page before changing individual talent details.

Default Battle Spell: Flameshot

When to use it: take Flameshot when Nana needs a long-range finish, extra poke after Boomerang, or a close-range knockback when a diver reaches her.

Why: it extends Nana's punish range without making her walk forward after Molina Smooch or Molina Blitz.

Do not: do not use it as an engage button before Smooch creates pressure; Nana still needs spacing and peel.

Battle Spell Alternative: Revitalize

When to use it: consider Revitalize only when your team is grouping tightly, the fight is about holding a zone, and survival value matters more than long-range finishing.

Why: it gives Nana and nearby allies a sustain zone, which can help after Molina's Gift has been forced.

Do not: do not take it when your team needs Nana to finish low-HP enemies from range or knock away a diver; in those games, Flameshot is the cleaner default.

Source: MLBB Battle Setup modal, in-game, version 2.1.88.1202.1, captured July 28, 2026. The modal displayed Emblem and Battle Spell labels with icons; exact talent values should be rechecked in the in-game Emblem page before tuning.

Best Nana Build: What to Buy and When

The captured Pro Setup snapshot points to a magic burst and poke core. Arcane Boots appeared in all five setups, while Glowing Wand, Divine Glaive, Holy Crystal, Wishing Lantern, Lightning Truncheon, Genius Wand, Blood Wings, and Sky Piercer rotate based on whether Nana needs penetration, repeated poke, late-fight safety, or execute snowball.

Glowing Wand

Divine Glaive

Arcane Boots

Blood Wings

Glowing Wand

Genius Wand

Divine Glaive

Holy Crystal

When to copy the idea: Use when you want Blood Wings protection while keeping Glowing Wand, Genius Wand, and Divine Glaive pressure.

Setup 5: Burst poke with Sky Piercer
Win Rate 76% | Matches 145 | Power 7224

Arcane Boots

Lightning Truncheon

Sky Piercer

Holy Crystal

Divine Glaive

Wishing Lantern

Best Teammates, Threats, and Favorable Matchups

Nana's relationship data is most useful when translated into mechanics. Pair her with heroes who can punish transform windows, respect chasers who can wait out Molina's Gift, and treat single relationship flags as draft signals instead of automatic lane guarantees.

Hero	Relationship	Mechanism	How to play it	Do not
Harley	Best teammate	Burst follow-up	Harley can punish the transform or stun window Nana creates.	Do not overlap every burst spell if Smooch misses.
Rafaela	Compatible	Move speed and sustain support	Rafaela helps Nana keep distance and line up follow-up control.	Do not rely on this pair as the only hard catch into many dashes.
Franco	Compatible	Pick control	Hook or suppression can hold targets inside Nana follow-up damage.	Do not throw Blitz before Franco confirms the catch.
Zilong	Threat	Strong chase	Zilong can keep chasing through Nana's passive duration.	Do not stand forward without Smooch ready as peel.
Natalia	Threat	Assassin pressure	Natalia can force Molina's Gift and continue after it ends.	Do not walk alone into fog without vision or peel.
Gloo	High-risk signal	Sustained pressure flag	Treat Gloo as a matchup that needs spacing and teammate help.	Do not treat one relationship label as a universal lane promise.
Eudora	Favorable target	Burst combo punish	Nana's passive helps survive deadly burst combos and answer after cooldowns.	Do not assume safety if Molina's Gift is on cooldown.
Kadita	Favorable target	Commit-window punish	Nana can live through a burst attempt and punish Kadita after her commit.	Do not stand in telegraphed burst without passive ready.
Lolita	Draft signal	Relationship flag	Use as a Nana-side draft signal while still checking the actual team context.	Do not overstate the matchup without more current lane evidence.
Xavier	Low compatibility warning	Timing mismatch risk	Avoid relying on both heroes for the same catch timing without a clear front line.	Do not call it impossible; just draft a clearer engage plan.

Nana's Story

Nana is a cheerful Leonin whose magic was strong enough to help her friends but uncontrolled enough to cause real harm. Her current story centers on guilt, leaving home to control her power, and Molina's sacrifice, which turns Nana's playful theme into a story about responsibility, friendship, and growing up without losing her warmth.

Nana FAQ

Final Verdict

Nana is strongest when she makes the enemy team respect space before a fight starts. Use Molina Smooch as the gate, not as random poke; cast Molina Blitz only when the target is slowed, transformed, or trapped; and keep Magic Boomerang angled through both heroes and waves. If your team can punish her control windows, Nana turns small mistakes into kills. If the enemy can chase through Molina's Gift and keep fighting, play shorter, safer, and closer to help.
