Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Naafiri's superior mobility and burst damage with Q-E combos.
- Post-6, you can win 1v1s if you land E to set up R combo, but Naafiri's R gives her gap-close potential to threaten you.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to use Q through minions to farm stacks while poking, then disengage immediately.
- Only commit to extended trades if you land E first, as this allows you to follow up with W-Q for meaningful damage.
Wave Control
- Push waves early with Q to build stacks and create distance from Naafiri's all-in range.
- After level 6, maintain neutral or slightly pushed waves to have escape routes while still being able to farm safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E defensively too early in trades, as Naafiri can bait it out with her mobility then re-engage when it's on cooldown.
- Avoid face-checking brushes or walking too far forward without vision, as her R engage range is deceptively long.
