Novaria possesses a distinctive skill set that empowers her to be a versatile mage hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

Her passive ability, Star Trail, not only slows down opponents with her active spells but also provides her with vision of them.

She can deal significant damage over time using Astral Meteor, while Astral Recall allows her to launch devastating long-range blasts.

Furthermore, her ultimate, Astral Echo, is a massive area-of-effect spell that enlarges the hitbox of enemies while also revealing their surrounding area.

These abilities make her adept at either unleashing lethal damage as a mid laner, or providing a valuable utility as a roamer.

However, when equipped with the right items, Novaria excels in both roles with remarkable effectiveness.

As Novaria, you’ll find yourself expending a considerable amount of mana while using Astral Meteor and Astral Recall to clear minion waves and scout for enemies in bushes. This is where the Enchanted Talisman becomes an essential addition.

The book-like equipment comes with a unique passive, Mana Spring, which periodically replenishes a substantial percentage of your max mana. Additionally, its secondary passive, Magic Mastery, raises the maximum cooldown reduction limit.
