How to itemise Nana and, more importantly, why each item earns its slot.

Overview

Why this build works on Nana

This build transforms Nana into an aggressive mid-lane burst mage with relentless area-of-effect pressure and crowd control. Her kit relies heavily on landing Molina Smooch to set up her high-scaling ultimate, Molina Blitz, and her poke tool, Magic Boomerang. However, frequent skill usage rapidly drains her resources and leaves her vulnerable when abilities are on cooldown. By addressing her mana requirements and skill availability early, this item path enables continuous lane pressure and objective control. As the game progresses, heavy magic power and magic penetration items exploit the magic defense reduction of her transformation skill, turning her into a high-damage threat. Finally, defensive synergy enhances her passive, Molina's Gift, allowing her to survive ambushes and remain active in teamfights.

Item by item

Magic Boots

Early

Magic Boots provide early mobility and increase how often Nana can cast her abilities. This allows her to throw Magic Boomerang more frequently for lane poke and wave clear. The added movement speed helps her reposition safely to land Molina Smooch on incoming ganks, while also ensuring she can retreat safely when her passive, Molina's Gift, is on cooldown during early skirmishes around the Turtle.

Enchanted Talisman solves Nana's heavy resource consumption through its Mana Spring passive, continuously restoring her mana over time. This sustain allows Nana to spam Magic Boomerang and place Molina Smooch traps without needing to recall. Constant skill availability keeps her present in fights, ensuring her ultimate, Molina Blitz, is always ready to strike grouped enemies during critical teamfights.

In-game passive Unique Passive - Mana Spring: Regenerates 15% Max Mana every 10s.

Genius Wand boosts Nana's early burst potential by shredding enemy magic defense whenever she deals magic damage. This stacks directly with the magic defense reduction from Molina Smooch, making target enemy heroes severely vulnerable. When followed up by Magic Boomerang or Molina Blitz, the combined defense reduction causes massive damage spikes against squishy backliners and early-game fighters.

In-game passive Unique Passive - Magic: Dealing Magic Damage to enemy heroes will reduce their Magic Defense by 3-7 (scales with level) for 2s. Stacks up to 3 times.

Holy Crystal drastically increases Nana's total magic power through its Mystery passive, heavily amplifying her high-scaling abilities. Magic Boomerang and Molina Blitz benefit immensely from this power surge. Once completed, a successful Molina Smooch lock-down followed by all three hits of Molina Blitz will deal enough area damage to instantly eliminate backline targets.

In-game passive Unique Passive - Mystery: Gains 21%-35% extra Magic Power (scales with level).

As enemy heroes build magic defense in the late game, Divine Glaive ensures Nana maintains her lethal damage output. Its Spellbreaker passive grants extra magic penetration based on the target's magic defense. When Nana hits magic-resistant enemies with Molina Smooch, this penetration allows Molina Blitz to punch straight through their armor during critical late-game contests around the Lord.

In-game passive Unique Passive - Spellbreaker: When attacking an enemy, gains 0.1% extra Magic Penetration for each point of the enemy's Magic Defense, capped at 20%.

Blood Wings offers massive magic power while granting a strong shield and extra movement speed via its Guard passive. This shield synergizes seamlessly with Nana's passive, Molina's Gift. If an enemy assassin bursts through her shield, she can reposition with the bonus speed, and even if brought to fatal damage, her passive transforms her, guaranteeing an easy escape.

In-game passive Unique Passive - Guard: Gains a shield equal to 200% of Magic Power. The shield will regenerate 20s after being damaged, and grants 30 Movement Speed while it lasts.

Adapting the build

No build survives every draft. These are the situations where the order above should change.

When facing heavy magic defense stacking early

Prioritize Genius Wand early right after boots before building full magic power, or advance Divine Glaive in the build order. This combined magic defense reduction and penetration ensures Molina Smooch and Molina Blitz still deal full burst damage against magic-resistant opponents.

When targeted by aggressive enemy assassins

Delay Holy Crystal slightly to complete Blood Wings earlier. The Guard shield provides immediate damage absorption and bonus movement speed, working alongside Molina's Gift to prevent Nana from getting bursted before she can cast Molina Smooch to defend herself.

When playing as the primary teamfight setup initiator

Ensure Enchanted Talisman is finished as quickly as possible. Maximizing skill availability allows Nana to continuously lay down Molina Smooch traps and poke with Magic Boomerang, forcing enemy errors before launching Molina Blitz during extended siege situations.
