Pokémon Unite welcomed its new fighter on October 6: Feelinara. Not only does this Pokémon look incredibly cute, but it also has some serious skills. MeinMMO summarizes what Feelinara can do.
With Feelinara, the 25th Pokémon arrives in the MOBA. The Fairy-type Pokémon evolves from Eevee and is one of the most popular pocket monsters of all time. It was announced alongside the mobile release and Mamutel on September 21.
The new Pokémon also brings a skin to the game that you can purchase for 400 gems (about 7.99 euros) (via Twitter).
If you want to see the Pokémon in action, you can watch the official trailer:
What Can Feelinara Do – Strong Special Attacker
What can Feelinara do? Feelinara attacks with special moves and is classified as an attacker in the game. It is also a ranged fighter. Its pre-evolution, Eevee, also attacks from a distance with moves like Swift and Quick Attack.
Eevee, as a basic Pokémon, is not as effective as, for example, Quiekel, Alolan Vulpix, or Dartiri.
What skills does Feelinara have? Feelinara’s skills are primarily focused on ranged combat and hit hard. Feelinara’s passive ability is “Fairy Shield.” Whenever it takes damage or deals damage, its special attack and special defense are increased for a short time.
Eevee’s passive ability “Adaptation” is very similar to the Fairy Shield. When Eevee takes damage or deals damage, its special attack is temporarily boosted.
These attacks are mastered by Feelinara:
- Starting Attack: Swift: Deals damage to the opponent. You can continue to move in the chosen direction during the attack.
- From level 4 you have the option to choose between two attacks, one of which replaces Swift:
- Magic Flame: Feelinara creates four small flames that fly in the direction you choose. They deal damage to enemies and reduce their special attack if they hit. Each time a flame hits, the cooldown of the ability decreases.
- Upgrade: An additional flame is created.
- Sound Wave: Allows you to keep moving while attacking. Feelinara emits sound waves that deal damage to enemies. The further away you are, the more damage you deal. Each sound wave that hits an enemy increases the damage of the next sound wave.
- Upgrade: An additional sound wave is created.
- Magic Flame: Feelinara creates four small flames that fly in the direction you choose. They deal damage to enemies and reduce their special attack if they hit. Each time a flame hits, the cooldown of the ability decreases.
- 2nd Starting Attack: Quick Attack: If you hit with this attack, you deal damage to the opponent, and their attack and movement speed are reduced.
- From level 6 you have the option to choose between two attacks, one of which replaces Quick Attack:
- Thief’s Kiss: Feelinara’s health points (HP) are restored when the kiss flies to it. If the kiss lands on the opponent, they take damage, and their movement speed is decreased. The kiss regularly flies back and forth between the two Pokémon. The further away the enemy is, the sooner the effect of Thief’s Kiss wears off.
- Upgrade: The amount of HP regeneration is increased.
- Mind: Feelinara’s special attack and special defense are temporarily increased.
- Upgrade: If Feelinara is hit while casting Mind, the damage is nullified and it gains a protective shield.
- Thief’s Kiss: Feelinara’s health points (HP) are restored when the kiss flies to it. If the kiss lands on the opponent, they take damage, and their movement speed is decreased. The kiss regularly flies back and forth between the two Pokémon. The further away the enemy is, the sooner the effect of Thief’s Kiss wears off.
- Unite Move: Fairy Harmony: Feelinara jumps into the air and becomes untouchable during this time. When it lands on the ground, it deals damage to enemies and restores its HP. Then the damage Feelinara takes is briefly converted into HP.
Sound Wave deals massive damage and is very strong despite its narrow effect range. You can still move in all directions while using the attack, without interrupting or changing direction.
The attack also works if you use the battle item Escape Button or are held by Slowpoke’s Unite Move called “Slowkinese” or its Telekinesis. However, you must use Sound Wave first. While being held, you cannot activate it.
Furthermore, Thief’s Kiss guarantees a hit, meaning you can even hit the flying Charizard after its Unite Move. Thief’s Kiss hits in every situation.
We have had good experiences with the combination of Sound Wave and Thief’s Kiss, but Magic Flame could be useful if you have to face many special attackers, as you can reduce their special attack and weaken them.
What do you think of the cute Fairy-type Pokémon Feelinara? Have you had a chance to test it and do you think it’s strong? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
