SKILLS
Assassin Instinct

If Natalia stays in a bush without taking damage for 1 second, she will enter Camouflage state and gain 15% Movement Speed. In this state, Natalia's next Basic Attack will teleport her behind her target and deal 200 (+110% PA) physical damage while silencing the target for 0.25 seconds.
Dealing damage, taking damage or using skills will immediately end the Camouflage state, but her next Basic Attack will remain enhanced for another 1 second.
Natalia's base Crit Damage is reduced to 150%, but her damage to Creeps is increased to 150%.
Claw Dash
Cooldown: 10–6 s by level

WHO COUNTERS NATALIA
Pick them when the enemy has Natalia · score is their advantage
Cyclops11.5
Star Power Lockdown is point-and-click — camouflage does not stop a targeted lock, and the burst follows immediately.
Rafaela10.9
Light of Retribution marks her exact position, so the ambush never lands, and Holy Baptism stuns her if she commits anyway.
Saber10.5
Point-and-click lockdown finds her the moment she appears, and stealth does not stop a targeted hold.
Paquito10.5
Your stacked combo kills her in the window after she uses Smoke Bomb.
Lunox10.5
Chaos burst kills her the moment she appears, before the combo finishes.
WHO NATALIA COUNTERS
Pick Natalia into them
Minsitthar11.5
She roams onto him across the map and opens from stealth — King's Calling bans movement skills, and she needs none of them to kill him.
Novaria10.8
Stealth ignores her vision game and one burst removes her.
Ling10.5
She catches him in the window between wall jumps, and stealth means he never sees it coming.
Hanzo10.5
Close matchup — your burst deletes Hanzo before they can respond, but Hanzo answers with single-target burst.
Valentina10.2
Silence turns off the kit Valentina needs to function. Your burst deletes Valentina before they can respond — but Valentina deletes you in one rotation.
BEST TEAMMATES
HOW TO PLAY NATALIA
Always strike from behind while in stealth to trigger the silence effect. Use your Smoke Bomb (S2) to become immune to basic attacks and slow down fleeing targets. Avoid teamfights; your job is to hunt down isolated marksmen and mages.
HOW TO PLAY AGAINST NATALIA
- No protection from control — a stun before the engage wins the duel.
- Keep vision up and do not walk the bushes alone.
HIDDEN MECHANICS
What the in-game descriptions do not tell you: crowd-control rules and verified skill quirks. How crowd control works →
- Silence — basic-level control: interrupts only some skills, not most channels; blocked by control immunity; Arlott's Demon Gaze does not count it as control; Benedetta's An Eye for An Eye does not count it as control.
- Her basic attack range is also increased to 3.8 units during Camouflage state.
- The cooldown of this skill is not affected by Cooldown Reduction.
