Hero Overview: Dolia – The Mermaid Princess
Dolia is currently a T0-tier Support in Honor of Kings. Her kit revolves around her unique ability to reset the cooldown of her teammates’ Ultimate abilities, making her the ultimate force multiplier. If you enjoy playing high-impact utility heroes who can turn the tide of a teamfight with a single button press, Dolia is your top pick for the 2026 season.
MLBB Equivalent: Floryn & Angela (Utility Hybrid)
While Dolia has a unique “Ultimate Refresh” mechanic not found in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, MLBB players will find her playstyle similar to a mix of Floryn and Angela. Like Floryn, she provides global-level utility and area healing; like Angela, she focuses on “linking” with a core carry to maximize their potential. However, her impact is much higher in coordinated play due to the sheer power of doubling a teammate’s burst window.
Core Skill Mechanics
- Passive – Gift of the Mermaid: Dolia enters a mermaid form when in water (river or her own pools), gaining movement speed and health/mana regeneration. Her basic attacks in this form deal area damage.
- Skill 1 – Ode: Emits sound waves that deal damage and slow enemies. If used in water, the fourth wave causes a knockback effect, providing essential peel for her marksman.
- Skill 2 – Aquatic Domain: Dolia leaps and creates a circular water zone. This zone heals allies and allows Dolia to trigger her mermaid passive. Pro Tip: Use this to create “water” anywhere on the map to trigger your S1’s enhanced CC.
- Ultimate – Siren’s Song: Dolia links with an ally and refreshes their longest cooldown skill (prioritizing the Ultimate). This is the strongest support skill in the game, allowing heroes like He Dong or Lu Bu to cast their ultimates twice in a row.
Pro Skill Combos
To master Dolia, you must focus on positioning and timing your resets rather than complex mechanical sequences.
- The “Double Burst” Setup: Skill 2 > Skill 1 > Ultimate (on Carry) > Skill 1. Use S2 to create a pool, use the enhanced S1 to knock back diving assassins, then immediately refresh your carry’s ultimate to end the fight.
- The River Ambush: Skill 1 (from bush) > Skill 2 > Basic Attacks. Utilize the river’s natural mermaid form to kite enemies while your S1 waves provide constant disruption.
- Emergency Peel: Skill 2 (at feet) > Skill 1. This instantly gives you the knockback wave to push away threats like Nakoruru or Mulan.
Best Build 2026 (Global Meta)
Dolia requires Cooldown Reduction (CDR) and Mana Sustain to keep her Ultimate available as often as possible. Since she is often targeted first, a semi-tank build is the standard for high-rank play.
- Support Item: Radiant Grace (Provides team wide damage reduction and healing).
- Boots: Boots of Lucidity (Essential for the 15% CDR).
- Core Item 1: Holy Grail (Solves all mana issues and provides maximum CDR).
- Core Item 2: Breakthrough Robe or Venomous Staff (Depending on if you need health or anti-heal).
- Defense: Glacial Buckle (Adds physical defense and further reduces cooldowns).
- Late Game Utility: Succubus Cloak (To survive burst mages in the late game).
Best Teammate Synergies
Dolia is a T0 pick specifically because she enables “Ult-heavy” heroes. Look to draft her alongside:
- Lu Bu: Two consecutive “God of War” jumps are impossible to dodge.
- He Dong: Refreshing his dragon form allows for permanent battlefield transformation.
- Lady Sun: Allows her to reset her dash and burst combo for massive AoE damage.
