THEORY
Her innate lack of defense, like most Mages have, ISIS
can be a problem, but it’s somewhat offset by her
quick and dirty escape, that can keep her safe in her
allied laner for some time while they both escape.
She seems to work best paired with a Hunter who
has some measure of burst as well as their own
escape. They become difficult to catch out, and will
have a lot of chase and kill potential on any enemy
Nox can land her combo on. Late game, she’s the
same old Nox, with great pick and catch potential
and solid utility on her Ult, and going cooldown

Next comes Isis, a somewhat unexpected
but still useful support pick. She works best

work as well against some matchups. She brings a
lot of waveclear and poke, and landing even a single
stun can turn jockeying for position into an early back
for your enemy, and help win lane. With experience,
too, her Dispel Magic can be a useful double-tap of cc,
to silence and slow enemies in a variety of situations.
Isis’ Ult is largely an allied heal, but it can be used
as a high damage area spell with some difficulty,
and the right duo partner can make it much easier
to land successfully, with crowd control greats like
Cupid, Medusa, Neith, or Artemis helping to keep
