Noli Skills &
Abilities

Noli is an asymmetric killer in Forsaken with a toolkit built around deception and hallucination. Below is a complete breakdown of every ability — passive and active — including keybinds, cooldowns, damage values, and how to chain them effectively.

Passive Abilities

Always active — no keybind required.

Noli Hallucinations Passive Skill

Hallucinations

Many of Noli's abilities stack hallucination effects on survivors. Hallucinated survivors see distorted visuals and may experience false pings, making it harder to distinguish real generators from fakes.

Tip: Chain abilities frequently to keep hallucination stacks high on multiple survivors at once.
Noli Prankster Passive Skill

Prankster

At the start of the round, Noli spawns fake generators in all 5 locations where real generators should have appeared but didn't. Survivors will waste time attempting to repair them.

Tip: Position near fake generators early to catch survivors who fall for the decoy.

Active Abilities

Triggered by the player — each has its own keybind and cooldown.

Noli Stab Skill

Stab

Keybind: Mouse 1Cooldown: 1.8s
25 DMG

Noli uses his Shadow Tendril to stab forwards after a 0.4s windup, dealing 25 damage. The short cooldown makes this Noli's primary damage tool.

Tip: Use after Void Rush to close distance and immediately follow up with a Stab.
Noli Void Rush Skill

Void Rush

Keybind: QCooldown: 20s

Noli charges a rush for 1 second (can be cancelled). Upon release, Noli dashes forward at high speed, covering large distances and bypassing terrain obstacles.

Tip: Cancel the charge at full power for maximum burst distance. Combine with Nova to catch evasive survivors.
Noli Nova Skill

Nova

Keybind: ECooldown: 12s

Noli throws his Voidstar forward after a 0.78 second windup. The Voidstar travels in a straight line, dealing damage and applying hallucination stacks to any survivor it hits.

Tip: Aim Nova through choke points and narrow corridors where survivors cannot dodge sideways.
Noli Observant Skill

Observant

Keybind: RCooldown: 30s

Noli enters a stance, highlighting all generators and displaying a mirage above them as a warning. Nearby survivors receive additional hallucination stacks while Noli is in this stance.

Tip: Activate Observant from a central map position to survey all generator locations simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Noli's primary damage ability in Forsaken?

Stab (Mouse 1) is Noli's main damage ability. It deals 25 damage after a 0.4s windup with a 1.8s cooldown, making it the fastest and most reliable source of damage.

How long is Void Rush's cooldown?

Void Rush (Q) has a 20-second cooldown. It charges for 1 second and can be cancelled before release.

What does the Hallucinations passive do?

Hallucinations stacks visual distortion effects on survivors every time Noli uses most of his abilities. High hallucination stacks make it very difficult for survivors to differentiate real generators from fake ones.

What does Prankster do at the start of a round?

Prankster spawns fake generators in the 5 locations where real generators didn't spawn. Survivors who attempt to repair fake generators waste time and receive no progress.

How do I use Nova most effectively?

Nova (E) has a 12-second cooldown and travels in a straight line. Use it in corridors or doorways where survivors can't dodge, and aim to chain it with Void Rush to close distance.
