Overview

Identity

Mina keeps poking at enemies without giving them an easy way to answer. She mixes gunfire with bursts of damage, then slips out of reach when they turn on her.

Abilities

1. Rake

16 second cooldown

See in-game tooltip.

First upgrade: 60 Damage
Second upgrade: +30.0 Heal per Kill -8.0 seconds Cooldown
Third upgrade · 5 points: +7.0% Missing health damage and increased Heal per Kill Spirit scaling

How to use. Use Rake as the burst confirm on a target that is already marked or missing enough health for the follow-up to matter, then use Sanguine Retreat to leave.

2. Sanguine Retreat

32 second cooldown

Briefly disperse, becoming untargetable and flying to a target location. Can be recast within a brief window.

First upgrade: On Cast: Gain +25% Fire Rate for 8 seconds and add 8 bullets
Second upgrade: -10 Cooldown
Third upgrade · 5 points: +1 Recast +4m Range

How to use. Use Sanguine Retreat either to reach the bite window or to escape a losing trade. The recast is the important movement, so change direction rather than making the exit obvious.

3. Love Bites

0 second cooldown

Your bullets apply additional spirit damage. Dealing damage your abilities builds up to a vicious bite, dealing a burst of bonus spirit damage. Love Bites has a unique cooldown per target.

First upgrade: On Proc: +30% Slow for 3 seconds
Second upgrade: +3.0 Spirit Damage per Bullet & +45.0 Bonus Damage
Third upgrade · 5 points: -5 Cooldown On Proc: +25% Fire Rate for 5 seconds

How to use. Love Bites is passive. Keep enough pressure on the same target to trigger the bite, then use that proc as the signal for your stronger commit.

4. Nox Nostra

150 second cooldown

Active: Unleash a cloud of bats that seek out targets, each dealing spirit damage and applying Silence. Passive: Triggering Love Bites against heroes permanently increases the number of bats released.

First upgrade: +1.9 Damage
Second upgrade: -45 Cooldown
Third upgrade · 5 points: On Hit: Deal +0.5% Current Health as Damage

How to use. Use Nox Nostra on a grouped team or an important target that cannot easily leave the area. The silence creates the opening for Rake and the rest of your burst.
