The dogs (passive) add damage to your abilities — hit minions with Q to heal them and keep them alive.
W (Hounds' Pursuit) is a long chase dash — use it to gap-close on isolated carries.
R (The Call of the Pack) summons all dogs and speeds you up — use it to engage on a target and burst with the full pack.
Naafiri excels at roaming: push the wave and roam with R for picks in side lanes.

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