Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and wave control with W, as Naafiri struggles to engage through minions without taking significant poke.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as her R gives her gap-close potential, but your E can still block her engage if timed correctly.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves landing Q when Naafiri goes for CS, then immediately following with W-auto before backing off.
- Never try to extended trade as her passive and melee DPS will outdamage you in prolonged fights.
Wave Control
- Push waves with W to keep Naafiri under tower and deny her roaming opportunities, but maintain vision as she can still dive with jungle assistance.
- Keep the wave in the center or slightly pushed rather than slow pushing, as you lack escape tools if she gets a good engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E preemptively or waste it on poke - save it specifically for her R engage or Q combo, as without it you're completely vulnerable to her all-in.
- Don't stand too close to low-health minions as she can use them for Q resets to gap-close unexpectedly.
