Who to play with Norra — best team synergies

Your page says charging Memory Surge (Q) slows you and telegraphs the shot: after Unstoppable Force (R) they are floored and bunched, so you charge it in safety and the four bolts of Portalpalooza! (R) line up through all of them.

You are stationary, slowed and visible while charging, and that is exactly when they dive you: Shadow Dash (E) taunts the assassin from range before he gets there, and Stand United (R) shields you from anywhere on the map.

All Out (R) knocks their carry away from its team and roots it: isolated and held still is exactly the sequence your page asks for, Threads of Homecoming (E) and then a fully charged Memory Surge (Q) on an enlarged target.

Every opening he owns is a knock-up: Searing Charge (E) into terrain, Call of the Forge God (R) across the whole group. Those are the windows where you can hold Memory Surge (Q) to full charge with nobody punishing you.

Worth it where walls are close by: GNAR! (R) into terrain becomes a full stun and Wallop (W) adds 1.25 seconds of area stun. In open ground it is half an ultimate, and you are left without the lockdown your charge needs.

Frenzying Taunt (E) nails a target in place for its full duration: that is a fully charged Memory Surge (Q) on someone who cannot move, right after Threads of Homecoming (E). And he is the body that intercepts whoever would dive you.

Infinite Duress (R) suppresses: the target cannot walk, dash or cast anything for a full second. That is precisely the time you need to mark it with Threads of Homecoming (E) and dump a fully charged Memory Surge (Q) on it.

Crescent Guard (R) knocks back everyone except his marked target and blocks ranged damage: that is the peel an immobile mage needs the instant an assassin lands, which is what your page calls the way you die.

Your damage is almost entirely magic and Cursed Touch (P) makes it carry true damage: the max-HP part of Memory Surge (Q) gains the most against tanks. And Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) lines the group up for Portalpalooza! (R).

Moonfall (R) drags everyone into one pile, which is perfect for the four bolts of Portalpalooza! (R). But you are both magic damage: against a team that buys magic resist early the pairing loses a lot, so you need physical damage around you.

Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) stuns from off-screen for up to 3.5 seconds: that is the window where the full Memory Surge (Q) charge, which normally exposes you, costs you nothing. And Frost Shot (P) slows anyone drifting off your line on every hit.

Deadly Flourish (W) roots anyone an ally has just damaged: a Beloved Trinkets (P) proc or Threads of Homecoming (E) arms it from range. And on a rooted target Curtain Call (R) gets all the way to its fourth shot.

His page says any dive that reaches him ends the fight, and he owns no dash at all: Journey to Nowhere (W) removes the assassin from the game for 1.5 seconds, and that is peel nobody else can hand him.

Chain of Corruption (R) roots a whole cluster from screen-wide range: that is when the four bolts of Portalpalooza! (R) run through five stationary bodies, and you get to choose who eats the empowered fourth.

Worth it if somebody else is the frontline: Journey to Nowhere (W) removes for 1.5 seconds the enemy crowd control that her page says stops her before she even gets going. But neither of you brings a shield and you are as fragile as she is.

Dark Binding (Q) roots for two seconds, longer than a full Memory Surge (Q) charge takes: that is the flaw written on your page, erased. And Black Shield (E) absorbs the crowd control that catches you while you are still charging.

Death Sentence (Q) rips a target out of their formation and hands it to you held still, and The Box (R) shuts the exits. The Dark Passage (W) lantern is then the only escape you will ever have, since all you own is a small backward hop.

The Zenith Blade (E) root into the Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun is worth more than two seconds, and Solar Flare (R) opens the fight from range: those are the long holds a fully charged Memory Surge (Q) demands.

Your page says your survivability is close to nothing: Unbreakable (E) intercepts projectiles and cuts damage by 35%, and Stand Behind Me (W) hands you armour and magic resist exactly while you stand still to charge.

Against a dive composition it changes the game: Whimsy (W) polymorphs the assassin the instant he lands and Rampant Growth (R) knocks him off while giving you bonus health. Against ranged poke, though, it barely does anything for you.
