HOW TO PLAY
Alternate the jungle route with visits to river bushes; showing on a wave for no gain removes the pressure created by camouflage.
Attack from behind, use Claw Dash to follow the escape, and place Smoke Bomb where the marksman wants to answer with basic attacks.
Late in the game, hunt the hero pushing alone or checking vision. Entering the centre of five enemies turns camouflage into an appearance with no exit.

QUICK ANSWERS
Natalia is currently played mainly in Jungle and Roaming. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.
Start with «Jungle Pickoff Default». The other options, «Roam Dire Hit Execution» and «Anti-Sustain Armor Crack», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.
Cyclops, Saber and Karina are the first counters to consider. Cyclops can lock her down on entry, while Saber wins the duel if Triple Sweep lands before Smoke Bomb protects her.
4 skins are marked as obtainable right now. 4 more are kept in the vault with the event or shop where each one originally appeared.
