burst

Ice Hunter's Tough Boots
Blade of the Heptaseas
Hunter Strike
Malefic Roar
Blade of Despair
Winter Crown

In this build, I focus on the Heptaseas item and rely on Nolan's passive to deliver burst damage to enemy heroes

confident nolan

Flame Hunter's Tough Boots
Hunter Strike
Sky Piercer
Blade of Despair
Sea Halberd
Malefic Roar

i usually use this build when i'm already confident about getting snow balling (Scaling quickly) from the early game and Sky Piercer is the key item

Spells

Retribution · Jungle Special

Emblems — generic nolan

Thrill
Seasoned Hunter
Lethal Ignition

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.

Ice Hunter's Tough Boots
Blade of the Heptaseas
Sky Piercer
Hunter Strike
Blade of Despair
Malefic Roar

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.

Spells

Retribution · Jungle Special

Emblems — Burst

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.

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.
