Playing against Naafiri
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Kill her dogs (packmates) — without them, her damage is significantly reduced.
2
Her W dash is linear and predictable — sidestep or Flash to avoid it.
3
Naafiri scales poorly into late game compared to other assassins — she must snowball to stay relevant.
4
Group up: Naafiri looks for isolated targets. In a group, she can't burst effectively.
