What makes Nami dangerous
Nami bubbles you into a long knock-up (Q), heals and pokes with a bouncing wave (W), empowers her carry's hits with slows (E), and her ultimate sends a huge knock-up wave across the lane. Her passive speeds allies constantly.
How to play against Nami
- 1The bubble is slow — juke it and her engage/peel is gone for 10s.
- 2Her W bounces heal her side and damage yours — break the bounce chain by spacing.
- 3Trade when E was used on farm-lane pressure — it's her buff window.
- 4The ult is huge but slow — walk sideways, never straight back.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Everything is a skillshot — mobility ruins her.
- ✓Squishy with no self-peel once Q misses.
- ✓Mana problems when spamming W trades.
- ✓The ult telegraphs from a mile — sidestep beats it.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Nami's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
踏浪之行每当娜美的技能命中友方英雄时,他们都会暂时获得移动速度加成。
Strong: her spells speed allies they touch — hidden tempo everywhere. Weak: background value; just note the surges in trades.
Q
碧波之牢朝着目标区域放出一个泡泡,对命中的所有敌人造成伤害和晕眩效果。
Strong: a long knock-up bubble — engage, peel and gank setup in one. Weak: slow, arcing and obvious — juke it and 10 seconds are yours.
W
冲击之潮释放一股在友方英雄和敌方英雄之间交替流动的水流,治疗友军并伤害敌军。
Strong: a bouncing heal-damage wave that wins 2v2 trades. Weak: bounce range is short — spread from your partner to break the chain.
E
唤潮之佑短时间里强化一个友军英雄。友军的普通攻击和技能会对其目标造成额外伤害和减速效果。
Strong: empowers three hits with bonus damage and slows. Weak: a short buff window — disengage its duration.
R
怒涛之啸召唤一阵巨大的怒涛,击飞、减速并伤害沿途的所有敌人。被怒涛命中的友方英雄会获得【踏浪之行】的双倍加速效果。
Strong: a map-length wave of knock-ups for engages and escapes. Weak: slow travel — walk sideways; never run straight from it.
Itemization
Mobility and juking gut her kit. Punish bubble misses with instant all-ins; anti-heal cuts the wave sustain.
