How to play against Naafiri

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Hold defensive CC for her dash instead of spending it on poke. Interrupting the entry denies her clean burst window.
2. Thin her pack when she walks up to trade. Removing extra bodies makes her all-in easier to read and punish.
3. Rotate early when Baron or dragon is spawning instead of matching her in a greedy side lane. She punishes late 5v4 arrivals.
4. Save Flash or disengage for her R commit when carrying a shutdown. Surviving the first burst preserves objective control.
5. 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.
