Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s due to lower DPS and mobility against Naafiri's burst potential with Leona's engage.
- Post-6 you still struggle as your R channels leave you vulnerable to Naafiri's R gap-close and Leona's follow-up.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to root enemies caught by Nautilus Q, then follow with Q bounce damage and fourth shot for maximum burst.
- Stay at maximum range and use your mobility from crits to kite backwards after trading.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves to establish range advantage and ward river bushes to avoid ganks.
- Let the wave bounce back after level 3-4 to farm safely near your tower where Naafiri can't easily all-in you.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W aggressively without vision of Naafiri's position as she can R onto you instantly.
- Don't greed for CS when your flash is down against this engage-heavy composition.
