10 Noli Tips Every Player Should Know

Want to elevate your Noli gameplay from average to pro? These 10 essential tips cover advanced techniques, hidden mechanics, and strategies that experienced players use to dominate in Forsaken. Each tip includes specific numbers and mechanics for precise execution.

⚡ Tip #1: The Rerush Speed Boost

After hitting your first target with Void Rush, hold Shift to move EXTREMELY fast.

How It Works:

• •First Void Rush hit deals 10 damage and applies Hallucination II
• •During the rerush phase, you can sprint for significantly faster movement
• •This creates insane chase pressure that most survivors can't escape

When to Use:

• •When chaining multiple survivors
• •When the first target is running toward teammates
• •For rapid repositioning after the initial hit

💡 Pro Tip: Only use this when you have enough stamina to sustain the chase afterward!

🎯 Tip #2: The 60-80 Stamina Rule

Only use Void Rush when your stamina is above 60-80 for maximum value.

Why This Matters:

• •Stamina does NOT regenerate while rushing
• •If you rush with low stamina and miss, you're left vulnerable
• •Having stamina reserves lets you rerush or chase after hitting

Stamina Management:

🔥 Tip #3: Nova + M1 Close-Range Combo

Use Nova at close range, then immediately M1 for a quick 40 damage combo.

The Combo:

1. •Throw Nova at close range (deals 15 damage)
2. •The pull effect brings survivors closer
3. •Immediately follow up with M1 for additional damage
4. •Nova has no end lag, allowing instant follow-up

Why It's Powerful:

• •Total: ~40 damage in under 2 seconds
• •Works even if survivors try to dodge
• •The pull guarantees the M1 connects

⚠️ Note: Nova cannot be blocked by Guest players, making this combo especially effective against them!

🧱 Tip #4: Void Rush Through Thin Walls

Void Rush can hit through thin walls — use this to surprise survivors.

Applications:

• •Hit survivors hiding around corners
• •Catch survivors who think they're safe behind obstacles
• •Create unexpected attack angles during loops

How to Execute:

1. •Position near a thin wall where a survivor is hiding
2. •Charge Void Rush facing the wall
3. •The hitbox extends through thin geometry

💡 Map Knowledge: Learn which walls are thin enough to rush through on each map!

🎭 Tip #5: Fake Observant Cancel

Cancel Observant during wind-up to create fake mirages and trick survivors.

How It Works:

• •When you activate Observant, survivors see a mirage appear over all generators
• •If you cancel by pressing the ability key again, the ability goes on 15-second cooldown (instead of the normal 30s)
• •Survivors may flee from generators thinking you're coming

Strategic Uses:

• •Force survivors off generators without actually teleporting
• •Mind game survivors by making them waste time
• •Use the reduced cooldown to set up a real teleport soon after

📏 Tip #6: Observant Distance = Hallucination Level

Teleport to generators FAR from survivors for stronger hallucination stacks.

The Exact Distances:

How to Use This:

• •If survivors are spread across the map, teleport to an empty generator
• •Survivors far away will get Hallucination III
• •This maximizes your tracking advantage through aura reveals

💡 Strategy: Sometimes teleporting to an empty generator is better than teleporting directly to survivors!

⏱️ Tip #7: Turn Rate Timing on Void Rush

The first second of Void Rush has the fastest turn rate — use it for sharp corners.

Mechanics:

• •Turn rate is highest in the first second
• •After that, steering becomes progressively harder
• •Long-distance rushes are harder to steer accurately

How to Apply:

• •For sharp turns, initiate the rush close to the corner
• •For straight-line rushes, start from farther away
• •Practice makes perfect — learn the turn radius through experimentation

🎯 Tip #8: Predict with Nova, Don't React

Throw Nova where survivors will BE, not where they ARE.

Common Mistakes:

• •Throwing Nova directly at a moving survivor (they'll dodge)
• •Panic-throwing during a chase (easy to miss)
• •Wasting Nova on unpredictable targets

Smart Nova Usage:

Special Mechanics:

• •Hitting a survivor or wall creates a larger explosion radius
• •Hitting the floor creates a smaller explosion
• •You can manually detonate mid-air, but this reduces explosion size

👻 Tip #9: Wait for Stamina Depletion

Wait for survivors to run out of stamina before using Void Rush — easy hits.

Why This Works:

• •Survivors without stamina can only walk
• •They can't juke or dodge effectively
• •Void Rush becomes almost unavoidable

How to Track Stamina:

• •Chase survivors until they slow down
• •Watch for the walking animation
• •Then charge your Void Rush for the guaranteed hit

⚠️ Patience Tip: Sometimes waiting 5-10 seconds saves you from wasting an ability on a miss!

🏃 Tip #10: Use Observant to Escape and Recover

When a chase goes bad, use Observant to reset and regenerate stamina.

The Escape Strategy:

1. •You're losing stamina in a bad chase
2. •Activate Observant and teleport to a distant generator
3. •Recover stamina while gaining information on all survivors

Benefits:

• •Instant reposition across the map
• •Stun immunity after teleporting
• •X-ray vision to see everyone after arrival
• •Put hallucination on survivors while you recover

💡 Pro Mindset: A tactical retreat is better than committing to a bad chase and losing pressure!
