Nautilus Guide

Key Insights
If
Nautilus
Q
hits terrain, it refunds 50% of its cooldown and mana cost and drags him the full distance.
Nautilus
W
resets Nautilus's auto attack.
Nautilus
E
can hit the same target again (and again) for half damage.
Nautilus
R
also hits enemies along the way, but take reduced damage.
Strengths
Has great gank setup with
Nautilus
P
and
Nautilus
Q
.
Is a major threat at any point in the game when
Nautilus
R
is available.
Can force teamfights by simply using
Nautilus
R
.
Synergizes well with
Evenshroud
,
Zeke's Convergence
,
Knight's Vow
,
Abyssal Mask
, and
Vigilant Wardstone
. Can opt for
Locket of the Iron Solari
,
Turbo Chemtank
,
Shurelya's Battlesong
, or
Imperial Mandate
when needed.
Weaknesses
Significantly harder to play from behind.
If
Nautilus
Q
lands and he can't immediately walk away after using
Nautilus
P
, he's probably dead.
Nautilus
R
has a longer cooldown of 120 seconds at level 1. Once used, he is less effective.
