    NEW Nautilus
    • Nautilus came out back in 2012 and as with Nami, his kit has stood the test of time. Remember that you can buy multiple Doran's Rings if you want your laning phase to work out, and he used to be quite the jungler back in the day. The biggest difference you'll find is that his ultimate is much less disruptive to targets hit by the traveling portion.
    • Passive - Staggering Blow
    • Nautilus's basic attacks deal bonus damage and root their enemies. Each enemy can only be Staggered once every few seconds.
    • Q - Dredge Line
    • Nautilus throws out his anchor, colliding with the first enemy or piece of terrain it hits. Enemies are damaged and pulled in, while Nautilus pulls himself to his target. Hitting terrain refunds part of Dredge Line's cooldown.
    • W - Titan's Wrath
    • Nautilus gains a shield. While it holds, his attacks deal damage over time to enemies in the area.
    • E - Riptide
    • Nautilus slams the ground, sending out cascading shockwaves that damage and slow enemies. Enemies may be hit by multiple shockwaves, taking reduced damage for subsequent hits.
    • R - Depth Charge
    • Nautilus fires a shockwave into the earth that damages and knocks up enemies in its path. When it reaches his target, it damages, knocks up, and stuns all enemies in the immediate area.
