Nanashi Mumei

Guardian of Civilization (?)

Nanashi Mumei is a meleeAgility carry Hero who is the living embodiment of mankind's efforts and the Horror of the Unknowable. She is a late-game right-clicking carry, and all of her abilities augments her attacking prowess, especially her fearsome 4-hit passive ultimate —Cognito Horror, where she debilitates the enemies' perception of her own existence specifically, unable to attack nor target her. With even more attacks, she will debilitate the victim's existence itself - where even their own allies will fail to perceive them!

The rest of Mumei's abilities hinges on different ways of applying Cognito Horror to her victims opponents. She can fire her specialBlood-Guided Arrows from a range, applying her attack modifiers with an additional bleeding damage over time; She can call herFriends from the Other Side which will attack a few other additional targets in-tandem whenever she attacks. All of her friends has her level ofCognito Horror, allowing her to apply this powerful debuff potentially to a whole group of enemies; Lastly,Dead Man's Chronicles is a simple attack speed buff that grows ever more deadlier the more enemies are around her both alive and killed.

No one knows what sort of creature she truly is. She doesn't even know who she is! But, once Mumei is able to get past the early game to get items that solves her lack of mobility, sustain, and crowd control; the only thing left for her opponents to do is to pray the afterlife is real, they'll be heading there soon.

PRoS
  • An absolute monster at 1 v 1 scenarios:Cognito Horror allows Mumei to completely overwhelm her opponents. Becoming nigh-immune to retaliation.
  • All of her spells facilitates faster farming:Blood-Guided Arrow helps secure creeps from a range,Friends from the Other Side gives movement speed and allows her to attack multiple units, andDead Man's Chronicles further accelerates her clearing speed the more camps she clears.
  • Very manageable for early-game last-hitting: Her high starting agility, above average starting base attack speed, and fast attack animation makes her very easy to control and manage last-hits and denies. She also has a very powerful 1800 Night Vision from being an owl and an entity of darkness.
CoNS
  • Cognito Horror has counters, and can even be escaped easily: Counters include Break, Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Ghost Scepter, and Force Staff. Heroes with built-in mobility, escape, or invulnerability can avoid having stacks build up on them as well.
  • No mobility, and no defensive spells: Mumei is very much all-in on offense that she can be kited, stun-locked, rooted, and disarmed to hinder her potential, especially if she hasn't connected 4 attacks yet.
  • Terrible early game and no sustain: She'll pretty much have to rely on buying Morbid Mask for sustain, and as a carry, she'll be in a bad spot if her early game didn't go so well.

Ultimate Abilities

R
Cognito Horror
Mumei's fourth attack to the same enemy Hero inflicts them with a powerful cognito-hazard, driving them mad and unable to perceive Mumei's existence. They are slowed and unable to attack nor target Mumei. Mumei gains increased attack damage when attacking enemies maddened from this effect.
After 3 more attacks to the maddened enemy, the madness escalates to "True Horror" where in addition to previous effects with a stronger slow and attack damage, they also cannot be targeted by their allies as it becomes difficult even for them to perceive the victim's existence.

Playstyle and Item Builds

Nanashi Mumei banks on her powerful ultimate, Cognito Horror and fast attack speed to win any direct engagements. As such, her item build revolves around maximizing this potential while also covering up for its weaknesses or any potential counterplays your opponent may bring to prevent you from forming stacks.
  • Shadow Blade — Allows her to get close to an enemy without alerting them.
  • Orchid Malevolence — Is great against enemies with an escape or defensive ability such as Anti-Mage, or against enemies that can still fight back with AoE spells such as Earthshaker.
  • Monkey King Bar — Gives her even more attack speed, and accuracy to ensure her attacks continue to build up Cognito Horror stacks.
  • Harpoon — She is a melee hero who prefers to get close to enemies and deal attacks quickly. This item provides her with what she wants.
  • Black King Bar — enemies will do everything in their power to stun-lock Mumei as much as possible. This item protects her from any form of enemy retaliation.
