What makes Naafiri dangerous
Naafiri hunts with a pack of hounds that leap on her targets, throws twin missiles that mark and re-cast for missing-HP damage, dashes through units, and her ultimate super-charges the pack with vision, speed and shields for a committed dive.
How to play against Naafiri
- 1Kill the hounds with AoE — the pack IS her damage.
- 2Never walk alone mid-late: she deletes isolated squishies.
- 3Her dive is all-in: survive the first rotation and she's toothless.
- 4Exhaust/armor blunt the whole pack burst.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓AoE melts the hounds and her damage with them.
- ✓Predictable one-rotation assassin pattern.
- ✓No CC at all — pure damage check.
- ✓Grouped teams starve her isolation hunts.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Naafiri's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Siamo di piùNaafiri genera membri del branco che attaccano i bersagli dei suoi attacchi e delle sue abilità.
Strong: her hound pack leaps and shreds alongside every spell. Weak: hounds die to AoE — clear them and half her DPS vanishes.
Q
Daghe DarkinNaafiri lancia fino a due pugnali, ciascuno dei quali infligge sanguinamento o danni bonus se il bersaglio è già affetto da sanguinamento.I membri del branco balzano per attaccare il primo campione o mostro colpito da quest'abilità.
Strong: twin daggers — the second detonates for missing-HP damage. Weak: both are straight lines — one sidestep beats the pair.
W
Il richiamo del brancoNaafiri diventa non bersagliabile e potenzia il suo branco, generando altri membri e ottenendo un aumento di velocità di movimento e attacco fisico.
Strong: a long dash-through with the whole pack — her gank opener. Weak: a telegraphed straight line with a wind-up; CC her mid-flight.
E
SventramentoNaafiri scatta e danneggia i nemici nell'area circostante, richiamando e curando del tutto i membri del branco.
Strong: a short dash-slice that resets pack aggression. Weak: tiny range — kite her between casts.
R
Caccia in brancoNaafiri e i membri del suo branco scattano verso un campione infliggendo danni. Quando Naafiri mette a segno un'eliminazione rivela i nemici nelle vicinanze e può lanciare di nuovo l'abilità. Il secondo lancio fornisce uno scudo.
Strong: super-charges the pack with vision, speed and shields for the dive. Weak: it's still just stats — survive the rotation and she has nothing left.
Itemization
Group, AoE the pack, hold one defensive tool for her rotation. She can't peel or CC — just survive the leap.
