How to play against Mina

Combo: Mina releases Nox Nostra’s seeking bats, which silence you, then Rakes the weakest target.

Punish window: Sanguine Retreat (briefly untargetable, flies away) is her escape. Once it’s on cooldown she’s easy to catch at 660 health.

Beware: Don’t commit into a full Nox Nostra; it still silences and hits hard.
