Natalia is the Bright Claw of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Since her childhood, she was already trained to be an assassin for the Church of Light. She excelled in the field and became a top assassin for the Moniyan Empire. After several successful missions, she unexpectedly failed in her last assignment. Tigreal managed to help her escape but her partner had a terrible fate.
She took upon herself all of the guilt and accountability for the death of her partner. With a devastated spirit, she immediately left the Church of Light to live in exile. Natalia went to the most dangerous areas far from the Empire and the Church. She wanted to challenge herself with more complex missions to regain confidence once she proves herself again.

Fighting Strategy
Upgrade. Prioritize unlocking Natalia’s ultimate skill in the early part of the game. It might be tempting to attack some enemies before reaching level 4 but it will usually end up in frustration because of a failed kill. Having your ultimate skill handy increases your chance of a kill. Learn to hold back a bit.
Beware. Although most of your enemies will have to beware of you when you’re nearby, you also need to know who can counter your cloak. Take note that AoE attacks can get you revealed. You might be invisible but you’re not immune to attacks.
Here are some examples: AoE stun attack by Aldous, Irithel’s rain of arrows and roar, Balmond’s spin, Valir’s flame push and Lesley’s Ultimate Skill.
Farm. If you’re playing Natalia as a core, the latest update made her damage higher so you don’t have to use a jungle emblem to farm faster. The assassin emblem should suffice. Make sure to always secure the turtle for the team.
Team Play
Roam. With your Rapid Boots and boosted Movement Speed from your passive skill, roaming across the map would be a breeze. Monitor the map regularly to check for opportunities to help an ally and then immediately respond to it.
Gank. As you visit a lane, make your presence known to your ally by hiding inside the nearest bush. This will encourage your ally to initiate a duel only to surprise the enemy that you’re there as a backup.
Team Fight. Be extra cautious when jumping on a team fight because AoE attacks can easily cancel your passive. Take advantage of your cloaking ability to get behind the enemy team so you can pin down their marksman. Make sure to wait for the tank or fighter to initiate the fight before jumping in to avoid CC and AoE attacks.
