Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight against Naafiri cleanly — your W sustain absorbs her packmate chip damage, and your Q slow prevents her from kiting you effectively.
From level 6, you guarantee the 1v1 by letting her engage first, absorbing her burst with your passive shield threshold in mind, then activating R to reset the fight tempo and finishing with W when she drops low enough to trigger its execute heal.

Naafiri will typically run a fast clear path (Red → Krugs → Raptors or Blue → Gromp → Wolves) aiming to hit level 3 quickly and contest scuttle, or she may look for an early invade on your second buff if she senses a path read.
She relies on packmates being alive to deal meaningful damage, so expect her to avoid extended fights when her dogs are dead.

You should invade Naafiri at her second buff camp around 3:10–3:30, particularly if you started on the opposite side of the map — she has no reliable escape tool and her E is a short dash that does not clear walls, meaning she cannot escape your Q slow once you're on top of her.
Her packmates add pressure but die quickly to your AoE, so invading when she's mid-clear leaves her significantly weakened.

Do not underestimate Naafiri's burst when her packmates are alive and her Q bleed is stacked — if you walk into her at full packmate count without your W available, she can chunk you for more than expected and disengage before you can respond.
Avoid using R purely for the damage in a 1v1; its value is the tower disable and the psychological pressure it creates, so mistiming it when she's already dashed away wastes your kill window.
