Level up in this order when playing Nolan:
Gauge
Dimensional Rift
Expansion
A scholar that wanders the universe with split souls to save his daughter.
Nolan's skills will leave a Rift. When a rift comes into contact with another rift, they will activate and pull enemies to their center and deal 240 (+140% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage after a short delay. Each time a rift activation hits an enemy, Nolan will gain 20 Energy. If an enemy is hit by multiple rift activations, the damage after the first hit will be reduced by 40%. Cosmic Leap: If Nolan does not deal or take damage for 5s, he enhances his next Basic Attack to dash to the target, dealing (+120% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and leaving a Rift. (Damage to and from Minions or Creeps will not prevent Nolan from getting this effect.)
Nolan cuts a rectangular area in front of him with his cosmic gauge, dealing 230 (+40% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and leaving a Rift at the first enemy hit.
Nolan charges in the target direction and slashes with his cosmic gauge, dealing 70 (+13% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in his path and leaving a Rift.
Nolan slashes at the target location 3 times, dealing 120 (+50% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage with each slash while leaving 3 rifts and slowing the target hit by 30% for 0.5s. The rifts will be activated automatically while Nolan dashes backward.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 1 → Skill 2.

Why do I use this emblem set Because when I play Nolan, I focus heavily on farmafsfafing and aim to achieve snowballing from the early game. Thrill provides an additional 16 adaptive attack, which greatly helps with early-game farming. On top of that, Season Hunter for faster farming and Lethal ingnition for extra damages.
this is how usually i use him and if this guide helps you to understand him more, feel free to give me some like!

I chose this build because it focuses on maximizing burst damage and mobility, which are essential for assassins or junglers aiming to eliminate enemies quickly. Ice Hunter's Tough Boots provide durability against crowd control and help in faster jungle clears. Blade of the Heptaseas gives high Physical Attack and Penetration, perfect for early-game burst. Sky Piercer boosts mobility and penetration, allowing fast rotations and more damage against squishy targets. Hunter Strike grants cooldown reduction and movement speed, making it easier to chase or escape. Blade of Despair greatly amplifies damage against low-HP enemies, and Malefic Roar adds high Physical Penetration, effective against tanks or armored heroes. This build is ideal for quick pick-offs and dominating fights.
Retribution · Jungle Special
Thrill
Seasoned Hunter
Killing Spree
I chose the Assassin Emblem because it provides Adaptive Penetration, Adaptive Attack, and Movement Speed, which are essential for burst damage heroes like assassins or junglers. The +14 Adaptive Penetration helps to deal more damage by reducing the enemy's defense, and +10 Adaptive Attack increases my overall attack power, making it easier to burst down squishy targets. The +3% Movement Speed also helps in roaming, ganking, and chasing enemies more effectively. This emblem perfectly fits aggressive playstyles focused on fast kills and high mobility.

Burst. I chose the Assassin Emblem because it provides Adaptive Penetration, Adaptive Attack, and Movement Speed, which are essential for burst damage heroes like assassins or junglers. The +14 Adaptive Penetration helps to deal more damage by reducing the enemy's defense, and +10 Adaptive Attack increases my overall attack power, making it easier to burst down squishy targets. The +3% Movement Speed also helps in roaming, ganking, and chasing enemies more effectively. This emblem perfectly fits aggressive playstyles focused on fast kills and high mobility.
Battle Spell. I chose Retribution because it is essential for junglers to farm efficiently and secure objectives like buffs, turtle, and lord. It increases farming speed by reducing Creep damage taken and boosts the hero's survivability in the jungle early on. Additionally, Retribution allows you to contest jungle objectives safely and upgrade it to deal burst damage to enemies or reduce their damage when engaging. A great tip is to use Retribution smartly on enemy heroes after upgrading it to Ice, Flame, or Bloody Retribution based on the hero's role and situation.
