Who Wins
- You win most pre-6 trades once you land E to pull Naafiri in, as she lacks the sustained damage to match your passive proc and Q follow-up.
- Post-6 you dominate completely since R isolates her from her pack, removing her primary damage source and mobility while you steal her stats.
How to Trade
- Look to E-pull when Naafiri goes for CS or uses Q, then immediately Q for the isolated damage bonus and walk forward to proc passive.
- Use W preemptively before trades to maximize the shield value, then reactivate for healing once the trade concludes.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively early to establish priority and force Naafiri to CS under tower where she's vulnerable to E-pulls.
- Maintain slow pushes to build up minion advantages that make your all-ins even more threatening.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E when Naafiri has her pack up and can easily dash away through minions.
- Avoid fighting in large minion waves where her Q can hit multiple targets for maximum damage and pack generation.
