Interrupting the entry denies her clean burst window. - Thin her pack when she walks up to trade. Removing extra bodies makes her all-in easier to read and punish. - Rotate early when Baron or dragon is spawning instead of matching her in a greedy side lane. She punishes late 5v4 arrivals. - Save Flash or disengage for her R commit when carrying a shutdown. Surviving the first burst preserves objective control. - Layer peel on her first target as she dashes in. Kill the pack and turn before she gets a second access point. ## Where Naafiri is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Naafiri's engage is direct and single-target, making her easier to peel than assassins with ambiguous access. - Naafiri loses burst reliability when her pack is thinned, because her damage and protection scale through those bodies. ## Naafiri counters: questions ### Who counters Naafiri in Jungle?
