Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and poke potential with E, but Naafiri can all-in you if you misposition or waste Q.
- Post-6, Naafiri becomes extremely dangerous as her R allows her to gap-close through your entire combo and burst you down before you can react.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using E to poke and zone while maintaining maximum distance, then following up with Q-auto-E when Naafiri tries to engage.
- Never commit to extended trades as her sustained damage with packmates will outdamage your burst rotation.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or neutral wave state to avoid being dove, using E to clear waves quickly when Naafiri roams.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you have vision control, as this leaves you vulnerable to ganks and Naafiri's all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use Q aggressively for poke as this removes your only escape tool against Naafiri's engage.
- Walking too far forward to harass or farm without Q available will result in death once she hits 6 and can R through your damage.
