Introduction
Emerging from the 2.6.1 reworks of the Natalya's Vengeance set, the Natalya Marauder Hybrid implements the best of both worlds — the empowerment and damage reduction of the former with the remote, Sentry-based playstyle of the latter. This durable, long range, beginner-friendly build is one of your easiest entry points into endgame pushing.
