"Predecessor" - Narbash Trivia Quiz

Answer: Support

Narbash is about the most stereotypical Support in the game, as a healer with an aura-based buff and traits very akin to a healer.

As a healing-focused character with poor damage output, Narbash has unsurprisingly not been recommended for a role that can deal damage. However, in "Paragon" days of old, Narbash was also recommended for the Jungle role. In this game, Narbash's damage output was stronger and the Jungle worked differently than it does in this game, enabling such a playstyle.

Answer: Durability

Narbash's Durability is a mediocre 4. Thankfully, Narbash can easily heal himself as a means to artificially enhance his capacity to take hits.

Unsurprisingly, Narbash's Basic Attack Power and Ability Power are very poor, with scores of 2 and 1 respectively. His Mobility is also an unremarkable 3.

Somewhat similarly to Muriel, albeit to a lesser extent, Narbash was a far better character in "Paragon" due to having an average stat build. Omeda, likely to prevent Narbash from being too strong just as they did Muriel, toned down Narbash's stats as a probable balancing manuever.

Answer: Regenerate mana

Narbash will gain a minor amount of Physical Power and enhance his Abilities with each stack. At a maximum of 24 Rhythm stacks, Narbash will gain mana regeneration at a rate determined by how many allies are close to Narbash; the more allies, the greater the regeneration.

Answer: They are Stunned

This is a simple Ability; hit the target, apply Stun. It's applications are basically endless, but in general, there is never a bad time to just Stun an enemy on the spot like Narbash can.

Answer: Movement Speed

A simple movement speed buff can be very useful for a litany of reasons: fleeing foes or trying to rush down fleeing foes can both be made easier via the use of March.

Answer: Indefinitely

As long as Narbash has the mana to keep it up, he can keep Song of my People up forever. It costs 20 mana a second to use, so if the Narbash player has built enough mana regen items to surpass gaining 20 mana per second, they could keep Song of my People up forever.

It is worth noting that this can also heal Narbash himself, albeit at half the rate it heals allies.

Answer: Knock Up

The AoE on Crash Bang Boom is impressive, and can easily hit multiple enemies at once. Knock Up is also generally considered the strongest status in the game, due to it being uncleansable.

This Ultimate is incredibly powerful during team fights. However, Narbash can also easily have it interrupted by Crowd Control before it finishes. As such, the Truesilver Bracelet item is a must-have for Narbash, as using it gives buyers brief Crowd Control immunity upon casting their Ultimate.

Answer: Added Attack Speed

The Attack Speed buff grows alongside the level of March, making it out to grow in effectiveness as the game carries on. There really aren't any characters who can't take advantage of an Attack Speed buff. As well, allied Carry characters who Narbash will frequently be paired with will absolutely love any Attack Speed buff they can get.

As such, this Augment is a straightforward, doubtlessly effective, choice.

Answer: Mana

This can be extremely useful in the early game in particular, where Narbash's mana regeneration is fairly poor due to not having been able to buy items. It also pairs excellently with the Hexbound Bracers item, as HB also rewards buyers with mana once they take damage, an effect that stacks with this Augment.

Answer: Crash Bang Boom

During Narbash's drum solo, he constantly deals tick damage to foes every second they are near him. The damage is basically nonexistent, but through this Augment, it will now apply Armor Shred.

This Augment can be absolutely gamechanging during team fights. But it has application in any situation where Narbash has a nearby ally that can deal some kind of significant damage, as they will be able to capitalize on both the Armor Shred and the Knock Up that Crash Bang Boom provides.
