Mobile Legends Novaria guide: Best build, skills, emblem

A star is born.

Novaria is not your ordinary mage hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

She possesses a unique blend of burst damage mixed with support skills, making her a great pick in any team composition.

She can unleash a devastating long-range attack with Astral Recall, and walk through walls at the same time to escape danger.

Furthermore, her ultimate Astral Echo, is a skill that grants her the power to reveal hidden enemy heroes in the surrounding area — the first hero to have such a unique skill effect in-game.

Astral spheres she summons will continuously slow nearby enemies by 20%. When an Astral Sphere explodes, it deals magic damage equal to 50% of total magic power plus 4% of the enemy's max HP.

She summons an astral sphere to crash down at the target location, dealing magic damage and slowing enemies hit by 20%. Afterward, meteor fragments will continue to strike the area, dealing magic damage and slowing enemies hit.

She summons an astral sphere at a distance and draws it towards her, dealing magic damage to enemies the sphere passes through.

At the same time, she gains movement speed and can pass through terrain. When she comes into contact with the astral sphere, she can launch it in a target direction within 2s. The sphere will explode when hitting an enemy unit, dealing magic damage plus additional damage based on the sphere's travel time.

She shoots astral chains in a target direction. The chains will lock onto a nearby enemy hero and attach to them, magic damage and revealing the area around them. The target will have their hitbox size increased by 50% for 5s.

Flameshot proves to be the optimal choice for Novaria as it complements her long-range abilities seamlessly. By combining Flame Shot with Astral Recall, she can unleash even greater damage onto her targets.

However, in scenarios where the enemy team consists of multiple assassin heroes or possesses high burst damage, opting for a safer approach with battle spell Flicker is advisable. This allows Novaria to swiftly reposition herself in sticky situations.

For Novaria, the mage emblem tree is the most suitable choice. Within the emblem tree, prioritizing the Bargain Hunter talent is important so that you can get your core items a lot faster.

When selecting sub-talents, go for movement speed and magic penetration.

The added movement speed grants her better mobility on the battlefield, allowing her to position herself advantageously or evade potential threats. Meanwhile, magic penetration amplifies the effectiveness of her skills, especially in the latter stages of the game.

Since you’ll be using your skill often, going for Enchanted Talisman for the mana regeneration or Clock of Destiny for the mana boost is the way to go. After that, you’ll want to focus on increasing your magic power and penetration. Holy Crystal, Glowing Wand, Lightning Truncheon, and Divine Glaive are safe options.

If you prefer to build more defensively, buy Immortality or Winter Truncheon.

Best build for Novaria in Mobile Legends

During the laning phase, prioritize clearing minion waves using Astral Meteor and harass enemies with Astral Recall. To sustain your mana without needing frequent recalls, consider building Elegant Gem as your first item.

In team fights, start by using Astral Echo to see where the enemies are hiding. Once the situation is favorable, unleash Astral Recall, targeting the enemy's backline heroes. Alternatively, initiate with Astral Meteor to slow them down before swiftly finishing them off with Astral Recall.

Due to Novaria's squishiness, focus on positioning yourself well, away from enemy assassins. If you find yourself caught in a dangerous situation, use Astral Recall to escape and maneuver through walls, making it more challenging for pursuers to catch up.
