Naafiri How to Play: Tips & Power Spikes

When Naafiri Support gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Naafiri wins most.

1. Lv 3
   All three basic abilities at level 3

   Naafiri's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
2. Lv 6
   Ultimate rank 1 at level 6

   The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Naafiri hits it.
3. Lv 11
   Ultimate rank 2 at level 11

   Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Naafiri can start or win.
4. Lv 16
   Ultimate rank 3 at level 16

   Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Naafiri can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Naafiri is a lane bully: trade early and often, push the advantage, and turn the gold lead into the first item spike. On average Naafiri Support is 785 gold ahead of the lane opponent at 15 minutes and ahead in 80% of games. Naafiri averages 0.19 solo kills by 15 minutes.
