Who Wins
- You can trade evenly pre-6 by using Q + passive fear to disengage when Naafiri tries to engage with E, but you need to respect her all-in potential.
- Post-6 you're at a significant disadvantage since her R gives her multiple gap-closers while your R requires her to be low health to be effective.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to poke with Q when she goes for CS, then use your passive fear when she tries to engage with E to disengage safely.
- Save your W for when she's already committed to the fight since it's your main damage tool in extended trades.
Wave Control
- Focus on shoving waves quickly with Q to prevent her from roaming and getting ahead through map plays.
- Try to maintain distance and farm safely rather than fighting for wave control since she has better all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your passive fear on minions or random poke since it's your only tool to disengage from her engages.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or overextending without vision since her R can come from unexpected angles and you have limited mobility to escape.
