Playing as Nami
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Twisted Fate
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off when he shuffles his cards
Step out of his attack range when he shuffles his cards with Pick a Card (W): if he locks in the Gold Card, his next auto stuns you.
- Engage after his Gold Card
If you can engage, go in right after his Gold Card: without Pick a Card (W), he has no other stun and no dash to escape.
- Play safe when he casts his ult
As soon as he casts Destiny (R), move closer to your tower if you're low: he sees every champion on your team for 6 to 10 seconds and can teleport to you.
- Ping as soon as he disappears
Ping your team as soon as he leaves your vision: Destiny (R) takes him up to 5500 range away, which lets him gank a nearby lane.
