LIFESTORY Lolita was born in a distant elven village, living a happy,uneventful life. That is, until war brought an end to those peaceful, safedays. Her whole village was destroyed in the war; her family torn apart. Justas her own life was a in grave peril, Rooney, the master machinist of the Cityof Scholars, found her when he was passing through and took her back toEruditio. To shoe her gratitude to the city, Lolita joined the City Guard andswore an oath to the death to defend its honor. Bruno very much admired andunderstood this young lef maiden’s spirit, and so he put in a request with thecity scholars for their most advanced tech crystal — the Noumenon Energy Core —and bestowed it to Lolita. This powerful energy core endeavors Lolita’s tiny framewith the ability to discharge massive burst of force, even allowing her tocontrol a giant mechanical hammer with ease. INTRODUCTION This guide is about how to play Lolita as a supporteffectively. I found support is the best role for her because of her skillssuch as Noumenon Enegy Core that gives allies a shield. Energy rocket is a goodcrowd control that slows and stun your target. Protective shield that protectyour allies and yourself against ranged heroes and Noumenon Blast that slowdown the enemy heroes for a good set up and engage.
Also what I really like with Lolita is the naturaltankiness. I’m fan of using tank hero as support so I can easily intimidateenemy carry and support squishy allies. She is also not item reliant so evenwithout taking the kill you can still be effective until late game. All youhave to do get the best build for Lolita to be effective in teamfight which weare going to discuss below.
PROS ☆Natural Tank ☆Good CC from Energy Rocket / Noumenon Blast ☆Good supportive kit from passive and protective shield CONS ★low mobility ★can be kited really hard ★you can’t rely on ultimate’s damage and precision ★energy rocket is somehow difficult to get hit
SKILLS Noumenon Energy Core⇨ The Noumenon energy core under normal circumstances will slowly store upenergy and provide shield to Lolita’s allies. Evey ro soften, Lolita’s alliescan come close to Lolita and get a shield. (Passive)
Energy Rocket ⇨Castsan energy rocket which will regen energy when it hits an enemy hero and deal190 magic damage, also causing the enemy to slow down by 50% for 1.5 seconds.At the same time it immediately resets ability cooldown. If the 2nd casts hitsthe enemy while in the slow state, it will cause a stun. ( 6 seconds cooldown)
Protective Shield ⇨Raises a shield which blocks all ranged projectiles flying towards the shield.(13.5 seconds cooldown)
Noumenon Blast ⇨Afterpowering up to 2 seconds, it will deal 380 to 1026 magic dadmage to enemies ina conical area in front of the hero according to current energy amount. Whilegathering power, the Noumenon energy will make the hero immune to damage, butenemy hero attacks will reduce the amount of energy. If total energy drops to0, it will not do any damage, but it will return hafl of energy and cooldowntime. During the power-up period, movement speed for enemies in the attackrange will drop to 75. (40 seconds cooldown)
EMBLEM SET
ABILITY Bring Weaken as the primary ability for support. This willreduces a target hero’s movement speed by 50% and physical and magical defenseby 40% for 3 seconds. I also consider getting Assault as Lolita has low mobility.This ability increases movement speed by 42%. This effect slowly fades over 7seconds.
ITEM BUILD Demon’s Advent ⇨+920 Hp / +54 Armor / Deter: When an enemy hero attacks,this ability will reduce his attack power by 4%. This effect lasts for 2seconds and can stack up to 3 times.
Courage Bulwark ⇨+770Hp / +45 Hp Regen / Bravery : Raises attack and defense of surrounding alliesby 10%. I get this item first over Demons’ Advent if we are planning to playaggressively. But most the time, I buy Demons’ Advent as I prioritize defense.
Tough Boots ⇨ +22Magic Resist / +40 Movement Speed / Fortitude : Increase Resilience by 25%
Oracle ⇨+850 Hp / +36Magic Resist / +35 Hp Regen / +%10 Cooldown Reduction / Scream : Within 4seconds afer being attacked, teh hero will regen 4% Hp. This effect has 8seconds cooldown time.
Blade Armor ⇨+100Armor / Counterstrike : Deals 25% of opponent’s physical attack as physical damageto an attacker when a basic attack is received.
Ice Force ⇨+30Physical attack / +1000 HP / Frost strike : basic attacks will have a 25%chance of lowering target movement speed by 35%. Hp + CC I really like thisitem that adds up my threat against enemy team.
I put Oracle on my 4th item despite of its good sustainbecause it has no armor defense which is important as you are against with ADhero. You can buy as second set if the enemy support is magic user.
As a tank you must also consider how opponent gettingprogress in game. If you see that physical damage heroes are dominating thegame, you must invest with armor first otherwise go for magic resist. In general, you must have 2 armor, 2 magicresist, 1 offensive item, and boots.
STRATEGY GUIDE As support your protective shield is your bread and butterso max it first. Use it as often as possible to defend your carry from incomingprojectile. If you decided to play aggressively with your carry, you can usethis ability while getting closer to your target. The closer you are the higherthe probability for you to defend most attacks. To use your Energy Rocket effectively, it will be better ifyou are going to get closer before releasing the attack so it will be aguaranteed of slow-stun effect. Ironically I saw newbie players who use thisskill for spamming. Keep in mind that we built Lolita as tank and we are notable to deal decent damage. What we are going to do is to use her kit as crowdcontrol and let our carry do the damage. Together with her ultimate, we are going to use it not fordamage but the slow effect against your target. It has an AoE range that isgood for setting up teamfight. We are not here for damage so we don’t need tomind our energy but to use everything as CC and intimidate enemies. Just becareful in using your ultimate as even you are invulnerable to damage whilecharging, it can be cancelled withstun/disable. The best way to use yourultimate is to go to bush/blindspot and cast it over several enemy heroes. For your combo, first you need to go closer to the enemycarry while your shield is up for additional defense. You need to get close toyour target so you can hit him with your energy rocket. And let your assassinor carry kill it. For a teamfight you can also consider charging up yourultimate first for CC and let your teammate go in against squishy heroes.
ADDITIONAL NOTE This a support hero, and you must admit the fact that youneed your carry to win the game. What is your role is to protect your carry atall times. Focus on him, and not to go away from him looking for a kill. To enjoy being a support, you must have a duo to play with.It is really disappointing to support newbie carry as you are relying onplayers who don’t know how to play and that is doom for both of you. This isthe reason why most players in MOBA don’t want this role because most of themhad bad experience in playing with their teammate.
