Nautilus
GameplayNautilus is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- Spell shield will block the root but not the bonus damage.
- Staggering Blow's enhanced attack can be blocked and dodged (the on-target cooldown will still be applied).
- It will fail to trigger while he is blinded.
- It will fail to trigger while he is
- The empowered attack will not trigger against structures.
- Dredge Line turns Nautilus' facing direction accordingly upon hitting a valid target.
- Dredge Line can interact with player-generated terrain.
- Nautilus will dash all the way to the target's location if Dredge Line executed them or they negated the displacement.
- Dredge Line will not interrupt any movement commands Nautilus was issued pre-cast so long as their directions somewhat correlate (this is intentional to smooth out traveling/escaping).
- Spell shield will block the ability but Nautilus will still dash partway to the target.
- The anchor projectile will stop if Nautilus dies while the projectile is traveling. Enemies hit will still be dealt damage. The drag and root are not applied if Nautilus did not initiate the dash.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.

- Nautilus' empowered attacks use different attack animations.
- The damage over time will always apply when this animation plays (even if the shield fades during a basic attack).
- The Pain of Wrath damage over time debuff replaces itself when reapplied to the target, restarting its tick timer. This will prevent the second instance of damage from the previous debuff.
- The attacks do not deal the bonus damage against structures.
- PENDING FOR TEST:: Interaction with dodge, block and blind.
- Spell shield will block the ability (but only a single application).
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The first wave is centered around Nautilus, while the second and third wave are centered at an offset of 25 units in front of Nautilus at the original cast location.
- Because of this, there are a zone each in which you can be hit by only 1 wave, or all 3 waves, respectively, without moving.
- The first wave happens at 0 seconds after the cast time ends, the second wave at 0.297 seconds and the third wave at 0.561 seconds.
- The intended timing may be 0.25 seconds for each delay, however these are the measured, effective times.
- The explosions are only a visual effect. The first wave has 8, the seconds has 9, and the third wave has 10 explosions, equally distributed around the rings, starting with one explosion directly in Nautilus' facing direction on each.
Depth Charge that chases the target enemy 
- Depth Charge starts in an offset from whichever direction Nautilus is facing at the end of the cast time.
- Since Dredge Line's causes Nautilus to change his facing direction upon hitting a valid target, Depth Charge's starting point can be changed with a quick Dredge Line + Depth Charge combo.
- Since
- Enemies a certain distance away from the charge / eruption are instead knocked back.
- Depth Charge's final eruption will occur prematurely if the primary target moves more than 3000 units away from it.
- Depth Charge will not stop chasing if the target dies or becomes untargetable.
- Dredge Line will not override Depth Charge's knock up.
- Nautilus will reveal himself during the cast time.
- Displacement immunity will not resist the application of the stun.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
Champion skins[]

A lonely legend as old as the first piers sunk in Bilgewater, the armored goliath known as Nautilus roams the dark waters off the coast of the Blue Flame Isles. Driven by a forgotten betrayal, he strikes without warning, swinging his enormous anchor to save the wretched, and drag the greedy to their doom. It is said he comes for those who forget to pay the 'Bilgewater tithe', pulling them down beneath the waves with him—an iron-clad reminder that none can escape the depths.

- A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.

- Nautilus does the Captain Morgan pose when standing idle for a long while.
- Nautilus comes from Greek word for sailor, ναυτίλος.

- Nautilus and Ziggs were first conceived as ' Ivan the Mad Bomber'.
- During Nautilus' joke, when he is swimming in the air, he is humming a tune. This is the same tune that Squidward hums to himself in the shower during the Spongebob Movie.
- Nautilus is voiced by Richard Newman in Legends of Runeterra.[2]
