Playing as Naafiri

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Second dagger on a bleeding target

    Recast Darkin Daggers (Q) on a target that's already bleeding: the second dagger deals the rest of the bleed plus damage based on their missing health, and heals you.

  2. Call your pack back to heal it

    When your pack has taken hits, cast Eviscerate (E): your packmates come back to you at full health.

  3. Empower your pack before you engage

    Cast The Call of the Pack (W) just before you engage: you're briefly untargetable, your pack grows, and you gain AD and move speed.

  4. Push, then look for an isolated target

    Push your wave, then roam toward an isolated champion: with Hounds' Pursuit (R), you and your pack dash onto them, and a takedown lets you recast it.

Playing against Lee Sin

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step up when he misses Q

    Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.

  2. Spread out from your allies

    In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.

  3. Watch your early jungle

    Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Lee Sin is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
