Nana’s skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Molina’s Gift
Nana transforms upon taking fatal damage, removing all debuffs on her, becoming untargetable and immune to all damage, and gaining extra movement speed for a few seconds.
- She can only activate Molina’s Gift every two and a half minutes, so be careful in engaging in fights.
- She recovers a percentage of her HP at the end of the skill’s duration.
- A golden ring appears below her when the skill is available.
First skill – Magic Boomerang
Nana hurls her magical boomerang in the target direction, dealing magic damage to enemies hit on its way and back.
- The damage of Magic Boomerang is reduced up to a certain percentage for each extra enemy hit.
- Get this skill first and use it every so often in the laning stage, for this is her farming and poking tool.
- You can move sideways to change the direction of the boomerang on its way back. This allows you to hit more enemies while maneuvering to a safe position.
Second skill – Molina Smooch
Nana sends Molina to the target location, who will then seek and chase the nearest enemy hero in the area, and transform the first enemy hero it collides with for a few seconds. The transformed enemy will also take magic damage, and have its movement speed and magic defense reduced for the duration.
- Molina will remain stationary for up to several seconds if there are no enemy heroes in the area.
- Molina can chase an enemy for a few seconds before disappearing.
- This is the opening skill in her combo, so make sure you hit the right target first before using the other abilities.
- Place this in a bush to scout for enemies, preventing gank attempts.
- You can also use Molina Smooch to zone out enemies in sieging or defending turrets.
Ultimate – Molina Blitz
Nana summons Molina to attack the designated area three times. Each attack deals magic damage to enemies and slows them.
- If Molina Blitz hits a single enemy continuously, he will be stunned.
- This skill has a slight delay in cast animation, so ensure that your target is hit by Molina Smooch or any control ability first.
- Try to predict where the enemy will escape, and position your ultimate there, so they will be hit twice and get stunned.
- You can also use this to clear huge minion waves.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Nana in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
Flameshot is the best battle spell to equip as you can use it to finish off enemies if they survive your combo.
Moreover, you can knock them back when they try to chase you, or force them to get hit by Molina Blitz twice.
If you want to play safe, choose Flicker. Use it to get out of dangerous positions, as Nana doesn’t have a mobility spell.
Recommended emblem
Choose Mage emblem to strengthen your burst damage, for it boosts your Magic Power and Magic Penetration, and provides Cooldown Reduction.
Next, select Rupture in the first tier for additional Adaptive Penetration. This helps you deal more damage in the early game.
Get Wilderness Blessing next. The talent allows you to have more mobility in the jungle and river areas, giving you more support capabilities for other lanes.
As for your primary talent, pick Lethal Ignition. This allows you to inflict additional adaptive damage on your target when hitting them with your skill combo.
Nana best build
As your team’s mage, you are expected to be one of the primary damage dealers in team fights.
After Magic Shoes, purchase Enchanted Talisman. Starting with this item is crucial because it grants substantial cooldown reduction and mana regeneration, allowing you to activate your abilities more frequently without running out of mana.
Follow with Blood Wings. The item significantly boosts your health and Magic Power, making you more durable and lethal.
Progressing to the mid-game, Glowing Wand comes next. The item adds a burn effect to your abilities, which deals continuous damage over time and is especially effective against tanky enemies.
Next, buy Holy Crystal to amplify your overall magic power, ensuring your spells hit harder and making it easier to burst down opponents.
In the late game, consider getting the Divine Glaive. It maximizes her magic penetration, allowing your abilities to cut through the enemy’s magic defense and making your attacks even more devastating.
This item progression ensures Nana remains a potent threat throughout the match, enhancing the hero’s survivability, sustained damage, and overall effectiveness in battles.

Tips and easy combos to learn
Playing Nana as a midlaner in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang requires strategic positioning and effective use of her abilities.
Start by focusing on clearing minion waves quickly with her first skill, Magic Boomerang, which can hit multiple targets and keep the lane under control.

Use her second skill, Molina Smooch, to zone out enemies and prevent them from engaging or escaping easily; placing it strategically can turn the tide in your favor.
Always keep an eye on the map and rotate to help other lanes when your wave is cleared, as Nana’s crowd control can be pivotal in ganks. In team fights, stay at the backline and use Molina Blitz to disrupt the enemy team and deal substantial damage.
Remember, Nana’s passive skill, Molina’s Gift, grants her a second chance by turning her into a Molina when she dies, allowing you to reposition and reengage or escape.
Play smart, keep your distance, and leverage your crowd control to support your team and secure victories.
