Who Wins
- Pre-6 you slightly favor trades when your Q lands since it enables strong poke patterns, but post-6 Nami's R disrupts your positioning and Kai'Sa's evolved abilities spike harder than your sustain.
- The matchup becomes more about avoiding their engage rather than winning trades.
Synergy & Trading
- Lead with Q to zone and slow, then W your ADC immediately after they take return damage to maximize heal value while the enemy is still slowed.
- Save E for when Kai'Sa commits with E or when Nami tries to engage with Q bubble.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam only when your ADC can safely farm under tower and enemy bot is pushed, typically after successful recalls around levels 4-6.
- Your roams are powerful with Q+E combo but leave your ADC very vulnerable to Kai'Sa's all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on Nami's W poke since it's not a major threat, save it for her Q engage or Kai'Sa's E dive attempts.
- Never face-check bushes or river without vision since you're extremely vulnerable to picks and have no escape tools.
