Nakoruru

• Hawk companion gives extra vision and poke damage from range.
• Ultimate grants stealth and bonus movement, letting her reposition for a clean burst.
• Strong pick potential against isolated targets thanks to her companion's mark.

• Passive · Flowing Blade Dance — After a skill hits, her next basic attack is empowered for bonus physical damage.
• 1 · Hawk Strike — Summons her hawk Mamahaha to attack in a direction for physical damage and applies a hawk-eye mark; her other damage can trigger the mark for bonus physical damage equal to a slice of the target's max HP, and triggering it refunds cooldown and mana.
• 2 · Wind Blade — Dashes in a direction, dealing physical damage to enemies hit and healing for a portion on each enemy hero hit; against jungle monsters it deals more damage and heals her too.
• Ultimate · Hawk's Onslaught — Summons her hawk to fight alongside her, granting a decaying burst of move speed; casting again charges at an area for physical damage and a slow, also reducing the enemy's damage output.

Build 1: Pursuit Edge → Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Champion's Warplate → Star-Shattering Hammer → Famed Blade · Siming

Tip: Her skill scaling comes from bonus physical attack, so she needs to stack attack power, leaving little room for defense — pick Famed Blade · Siming or Sage's Sanctuary based on the matchup.

Build 2: Pursuit Edge → Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Champion's Warplate → Blood-Weeping Blade → Star-Shattering Hammer

Tip: Blood-Weeping Blade boosts her sustain, letting her get back to full health quickly before her next dive.

Inscriptions: Mutation, Hawkeye, Concealment

Tip: Hawkeye and Mutation's attack power and penetration let Nakoruru deal huge damage, while Concealment's move speed helps her ultimate close the gap into a fight faster.
