Skills
Mermaid's Gift (Passive)
Effect: Doria takes on mermaid form when in water, reducing slows taken by 50% and regenerating life and mana every second. In mermaid form, her Basic Attacks shoot water arrows for ranged damage. Her [Recovery] is replaced with [Mermaid's Gift], allowing her to create a pact with a selected teammate, prioritizing this teammate when using [Celestial Melody].
Summary: In water, it can restore mana and heals itself, reduce control effects, and its basic attacks become penetrating area damage.
Ode
Effect: Doria chants 4 sound waves that spread outward. The first 3 deal spell damage and 10% slow. The 4th deals more spell damage and 50% slow for 1 second. In water, the waves knock back nearby enemies and stun them. Non-heroic units provoke a smaller echo, dealing only 50% of the damage.
Summary: Fires four sound waves, which have knockback and slow effects in water, and can be used to check if there are enemy heroes in the bushes.
Wavebreaker
Effect: Doria leaps forward into the air to take mermaid form. Upon landing, she creates a water area that restores life and mana to nearby allies. The cooldown is reduced by 30% if released in water. The water area disappears 4 seconds after Doria leaves it.
Summary: Creates a water area that heals itself and allied teammates, providing continuous healing while in the water.
Celestial Melody
Effect: Doria refreshes the skill with the longest cooldown of a nearby ally, taking part of the cooldown onto herself. If the refreshed skill is not used, [Celestial Melody]'s cooldown recovery speed is accelerated. Teammates do not consume Mana or Energy when using the skill for 5 seconds after it is refreshed.
Summary: Refreshes the skill of a nearby ally, transferring the cooldown to itself.
Skill Order
Maximize Ode first for its damage and control potential. Follow with Wavebreaker for its mobility and healing. Prioritize Celestial Melody whenever available.
Combo Techniques
Basic Combo: Use Ode to slow and control enemies, followed by Wavebreaker to heal allies and reposition.
Engage Combo: Use Wavebreaker to jump into water, then Ode to knock back and stun enemies. Follow with Basic Attacks to deal sustained damage.
Ultimate Combo: Use Celestial Melody to refresh a crucial teammate’s skill in the middle of a fight, ensuring they can use their abilities more frequently.
Strategies and Tips
Equipment and Build Paths
If the enemy heroes have a lot of crowd control, you can also choose to carry Purify.
Doria's item build requires ensuring functionality while maintaining her survivability. Due to her strong sustain, she can consider purchasing items with special attributes such as Dawnlight: which provides shields to teammates, and Frozen Breath: which slows enemies, working well with her wide-area control from her first skill. Additionally, since Doria has high mana needs early in the game, Alchemist's Amulet can be purchased to ensure sufficient mana.
· Boots of Tranquility - Essential for reducing ability cooldowns.
· Frozen Breath - Enhances Doria's control by slowing enemies with Basic Attacks.
· Crimson Shadow - Redemption - Ensure your own survivability while providing shields to teammates.
· Magic Resist and Armor Items - Depending on the enemy team composition.
Gameplay Tips
· Kiting Combat, Continuous Harassment/Control/Healing
Doria has low durability, so keep a safe distance from enemies. Use water zones frequently to boost allies, engage in kiting combat to continuously harass and control enemies, and keep allies' health replenished.
· Scout Bushes, Initiate Fights, Split the Battlefield
Use Doria's first skill to scout bushes and eliminate potential threats. Utilize the knockback effect of her first skill to disrupt enemy heroes' farming. Use timely flashes to control enemies effectively, ensuring kills and initiating team fights, thereby splitting the battlefield.
· Smart Use of Ultimate, Timing and Targeting for Maximum Benefit
The usage of her ultimate should be based on the current battle situation. Whether it's tower diving, invading the enemy jungle, or team control/burst, choose the pact teammate accordingly.
· Make good use of water zones, secure vision, report enemy positions
Doria can restore health and mana in water zones, while her basic attacks become area attacks. Therefore, she can continuously stay in water zones for quick support and provide vision on key enemy heroes.
