Dimensional Rift
PassiveDamageNolan's skills will leave a Rift. When a rift comes into contact with another rift, they will activate and pull enemies to their center and deal 240 (+140% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage after a short delay. Each time a rift activation hits an enemy, Nolan will gain 20 Energy. If an enemy is hit by multiple rift activations, the damage after the first hit will be reduced by 40%. Cosmic Leap: If Nolan does not deal or take damage for 5s, he enhances his next Basic Attack to dash to the target, dealing (+120% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and leaving a Rift. (Damage to and from Minions or Creeps will not prevent Nolan from getting this effect.)
