Noli Forsaken Guide How Good & How to Play Him?

After a long wait, Noli has finally joined Forsaken as a new killer. This update has brought a lot of attention, and many players want to know how strong he is and the best ways to play against or with him. Here’s a detailed breakdown of Noli’s stats, abilities, tips for playing him, and how survivors can counter him. Also check out our Noli Forsaken Update Guide for the 3.0!

Noli’s Basic Stats

• Health: 1.11
• Walk Speed: 7.5 (same as Cool Kid)
• Sprint Speed: 27.5 (slightly faster than Jon)

Noli is built for quick movement and tricky gameplay, making him a challenging opponent.

Noli’s Unique Passive Abilities

1. Hallucinations

This is Noli’s standout feature. Survivors hit by his abilities will experience hallucinations that disrupt their gameplay and reveal their location.

• Level 1: Timers show incorrect info, objective counts are wrong, and chase music plays even when Noli isn’t nearby.
• Level 2: Fake pizzas and dispensers appear, giving fake health that disappears after hallucinations fade.
• Level 3: A fake Noli spawns and chases survivors but cannot actually deal damage. Meanwhile, the real Noli becomes slightly invisible.

These hallucinations make the game more stressful and confusing for survivors.

2. Prankster

Noli can spawn fake generators in places without real ones. Survivors working on fake generators will gain hallucination stacks:

• Partial completion = Hallucination stack.
• Full completion = Instant hallucination level 3, plus the fake generator resets.

Survivors can spot fake generators by their unique sound, so staying alert is key.

Noli’s Abilities Explained

1. Stab

Noli uses a shadow tendril to stab forward, dealing 25 damage with a 0.4-second wind-up and 1.8-second cooldown. The wind-up is somewhat slow, making it harder to land on skilled survivors.

2. Void Rush

Holding the ability for 1 second triggers a fast dash that can be controlled slightly. It ends when Noli hits a wall or survivor, or the meter runs out.

• Hits deal 10 damage and apply hallucination.
• After 0.85 seconds, Noli can dash again immediately.
• Hitting a hallucination 2 survivor slams them down for 30 damage, meaning this ability can deal up to 40 damage total.
• Can chain attacks on multiple survivors if surrounded.
• Great for both damage and fast map traversal.

3. Nova (Void Star)

Noli throws a void star with a 0.78-second wind-up. The star explodes on hitting a survivor or wall, dealing 15 damage and pulling survivors inward.

• Exploding on the ground causes a smaller explosion.
• Can be manually detonated for a smaller hitbox.
• Useful to catch survivors camping or hiding near walls.

4. Observant (Teleportation)

Activating this ability highlights all generators. After selecting one, Noli teleports there in 1.5 seconds.

• Survivors near the teleport point gain hallucinations depending on their distance (closer survivors get lower levels).
• When activated, holograms of Noli appear at all generators to warn survivors.
• Teleporting allows fast repositioning and applying hallucinations across the map.

Tips for Playing Noli Effectively

• Use Void Rush often—it’s your best ability for damage and movement.
• Try to land both hits of the Void Rush on the same or multiple survivors for massive damage.
• Use Nova strategically near walls or chokepoints to trap survivors or interrupt loops.
• Teleport to generators with Observant to apply hallucinations and close gaps quickly.
• Be patient with your stab attack, as it has a slower wind-up.
• Use fake generators and hallucinations to confuse survivors and gain the upper hand.

How to Counter Noli

• Watch your timer carefully; if it shows incorrect info, you’re likely hallucinating.
• Ignore fake pizzas and dispensers—they don’t actually harm you.
• When chased by a fake Noli, note their speed; fake ones move faster and can’t hurt you.
• Use walls and obstacles to block Noli’s Void Rush, as he can’t turn sharply or dash through traps.
• Survivors with good map control can place traps or block choke points to neutralize his dash.
• For Nova, keep away from walls when you see it being thrown—it’s slow and easier to dodge in open areas.
• Avoid fake generators; complete real ones only to avoid gaining hallucinations.

Noli is a unique killer with strong potential, especially against new or less experienced players. His abilities focus heavily on disruption and mobility, but skilled survivors can find ways to counter him. Overall, Noli fits as a low B-tier killer: fun and tricky but reliant on specific strategies.

His hallucination mechanics add an interesting twist, but their effectiveness might drop as players learn to spot fakes. Mastering his Void Rush and teleportation will be key to success. Noli is definitely a fresh and exciting addition to Forsaken. Whether you want to dominate as him or learn how to survive his tricks, understanding his kit will give you the edge.
