Playing as Nami

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Bubble a slowed target

    Cast Aqua Prison (Q) on a slowed or immobile target, or where they're heading: the bubble lands in an area and stuns every enemy on impact.

  2. Bless your ADC before their trade

    Cast Tidecaller's Blessing (E) on your ADC just before they trade: their next autos and abilities slow and deal bonus magic damage.

  3. Bounce your Ebb and Flow

    Cast Ebb and Flow (W) so it bounces from one champion to another: it heals each ally, damages each enemy, and only hits the same champion once.

  4. Tidal Wave to engage or disengage

    Cast Tidal Wave (R) to engage or to break an enemy engage: enemies hit take a knock-up and a slow, which lasts longer on those farther away.

Playing against Taric

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Leave the line of his beam

    Get out of the line of Dazzle (E) as soon as it appears: the beam only bursts and stuns after a short delay, and it can also come from the ally bound to Taric.

  2. Punish him when he steps up to auto

    Take a trade when he steps up to hit: each auto empowered by Bravado (passive) lowers his cooldowns, so he needs those hits.

  3. Kill before his Cosmic Radiance

    When he casts Cosmic Radiance (R), decide fast: kill one of his allies before the invulnerability lands, or back off until the effect ends.

  4. Hit far from Taric during his ult

    During Cosmic Radiance (R), hit an enemy far from Taric and from the ally bound by Bastion (W): only champions near them are invulnerable.
