Nana, The Sweet Leonin is a popular Mage/Support who specializes in Poke/Burst and is recommended for Mid or Roam in lanes. She is known for her unique set of skills that have Death Immune, Area of Effect, Crowd Control and Debuff attributes. Nana's ability to immobilize enemies and reduce their magic resistance makes her a valuable asset in team fights. She is a utility who can be paired alongside almost every hero in Mobile Legends and costs only 6500 Battle Points, 25,500 less than the average hero pricing, which is a great deal for such a highly valued hero. Before diving further into her Top 3 Builds, here are her key strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths
- Poke/Burst - These are her specialties that can be used to take on the front-lines or in support of any other hero. The impact from these attributes enables Nana to harrass and deal substantial damage, blessed with Crowd Control and Area of Effect abilities.
- Versatile/Flexible in gameplay - Nana can engage from any angle in battle due to her mobility and ranged attack as an optimal Roam Support.
- Support - She can support allies in different capacities, either in the front-lines or back. She has outstanding potential in ganking and joining team engagements through her superior damage.
- Death Immunity - Her Passive Skill provides immunity with her ability to transform into a cat and sprint away when low on HP. This allows her to get in close on action with a high chance of survival.
- Magic Damage - This is the most superior form of damage that can take out opponents with one strike. Nana can deal this form of damage with range, and from versatile positioning.
- Skill Set Combination - Her skills are paired well in tandem, with the potential to impact and influence lines of battle. Her Ultimate (Molina Blitz) and First Skill (Magic Boomerang) may be paired in damage while her Second Skill (Molina Smooch) is a well known debuff skill that is a pain to defend against.
Weaknesses
- Popular Ban - Nana has been a popular ban for so long, as a hero who is still favored despite meta changes.
- High Damage Squishy Hero - With her ability to deal high energy damage, she is vulnerable in terms of HP. This is a default setting in ML that is greatly influenced through selected in-game items.
- Passive Skill CD - Death Immunity reactivates every 150 seconds after engagement.
- Crowd Control - Nana is weak against CC and AoE skills with a high possibility of being countered.
Now here are Nana’s Top 3 Builds that Win Games.
3. Sustained DPS
Sustained Damage Per Second refers to an hero’s ability to deal continuous damage per second. In this case, Nana’s basic skill is a melee attack that may be spammed while her three skills have Area of Effect and Crowd Control that can inflict burst magic damage with a continuous effect and the potential to poke and initiate the frontiers or more suitably back up and gank in team engagements.
This build leans onto survivability while also expanding and vamping Nana’s potential in large amounts of damage dealt. It basically scales her magic damage with time while providing some form of durability. This is a tanky build that places Nana in the forefront of confrontation, and adds depth to her poke and initiation attributes. This build focuses on the amount of damage over time.
Use this build if:
- Playing Against Durable Heroes - Since this build focuses on HP levels and low CD reduction, damage may be spammed continuously, thus, proving its effectiveness against durable heroes and items.
- In a well structured team - This is a high powered build. Its focus on HP and CD Reduction makes it a vulnerable build in offense. This emphasizes the need for a team that can take on other goals and objectives in pushing forward with goals and objectives.
- Capacity to Pair and Roam in the Late Game - This build suits team fights where Nana’s skills can effectively debuff and deal burst magic damage with CC and AoE. It emphasizes her character as a support who depends on allies for in-game impact.

2. Team Buff
