Ice Hunter's Rapid Boots
Early
Equipping Ice Hunter's Rapid Boots gives Natalia the out-of-combat movement speed necessary to traverse the map rapidly while in Camouflage from Assassin Instinct. The Retribution active upgrade aids her jungle clear speed, which directly reduces the recharge time of The Hunt on creep kills. Rapid positioning allows her to set up unexpected ganks from bushes across lanes before enemies can react.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Side Effect: Loses 25 Movement Speed for 5s upon dealing or taking damage.
Blade of the Heptaseas perfectly complements Assassin Instinct. Coming out of stealth without taking prior damage triggers Ambush, stacking extra physical damage and a heavy slow onto her enhanced Basic Attack silence. This guarantees that when Natalia teleports behind her target, the combined burst leaves fragile enemies unable to escape or counter-attack before she casts Claw Dash.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Ambush: If no damage is taken or dealt within 5s (excluding from Minions or Creeps), the next Basic Attack will deal an additional 160 Physical Damage and slow the target by 40% for 1.5s.
Hunter Strike provides vital cooldown reduction and physical attack. Striking an enemy rapidly using enhanced Basic Attacks, Claw Dash, and extra hits activates Retribution, granting a massive temporary movement speed boost. This bonus speed allows Natalia to chase down fleeing targets or quickly weave out of danger after dropping Smoke Bomb during chaotic team fights.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Retribution: Dealing damage to the same enemy hero or creep 5 times in a row grants 50% extra Movement Speed that decays over 3s (8s cooldown).
Endless Battle enhances Natalia's spell-weaving playstyle. Since her Ultimate, The Hunt, immediately resets her passive state, she repeatedly casts skills between Basic Attacks. Divine Justice adds extra True Damage to her teleports and strikes, bypassing enemy armor. The extra movement speed and sustain help her maintain pressure across the jungle and major objectives like the Turtle and Lord.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Divine Justice: After casting a skill, the next Basic Attack within 3s deals 60% Physical Attack as extra True Damage (1.5s cooldown).
Blade of Despair offers the highest raw physical attack to overcome Natalia's reduced critical damage penalty. Despair triggers automatically when attacking targets below half health, granting a massive attack boost before the hit connects. This ensures her initial ambush combo from Assassin Instinct instantly executes weakened backline carries or low-health enemies hiding in their own jungle.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Despair: Dealing damage to non-Minion enemies below 50% HP increases Physical Attack by 25% for 2s (takes effect before the damage is dealt).
Windtalker supplements the passive crit chance provided by the passive of The Hunt while granting extra movement speed and attack speed. Typhoon adds magic damage to her Basic Attacks, helping her break through shields and clear minion waves or jungle creeps much faster. It enhances her fluidity when repeatedly re-entering stealth and executing quick follow-up attacks.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Typhoon: Every 5-2s (reduced by 0.2s for each Basic Attack), the next Basic Attack will hit up to 3 enemy units for 150-362 Magic Damage. (This attack can Crit and the damage increases to 200% against Minions.)
