Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and poke with Q-W combo, but Naafiri can all-in you if you misposition.
- At level 6, Naafiri becomes extremely dangerous as her R gives her multiple gap closers and damage that can burst you before your passive spreads.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-W-E when Naafiri approaches minions, then immediately back off to avoid her all-in potential.
- Never try to extended trade as her sustained damage and mobility will overwhelm your cooldown-dependent kit.
Wave Control
- Push waves early with W to establish range advantage and recall timing, but transition to freezing near your tower once Naafiri hits level 6.
- You need jungle proximity and cannot afford to be pushed up against her ultimate engage potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your abilities to clear waves when Naafiri has R available, as you'll be defenseless against her all-in.
- Walking too far forward without your Q stun available is suicide against her gap-closing potential.
