When facing Nami's top counters like Zyra, Zilean, Lux, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize armor items against AD-heavy counter picks or magic resistance items against AP threats in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Your core build provides strong damage output. Against tanky counter picks, consider penetration items or percentage-based damage from your situational options to maintain kill pressure. Adapt your final build slots with items like Redemption or Moonstone Renewer based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Nami performance.

With a 57.3% win rate across 309 matches, this build has proven highly effective in the current meta. The build's key strengths include devastating ability power scaling with 210 total AP. Choose this build when your team needs magic damage, especially if teammates are primarily AD-focused. Nami with this build can punish teams that stack armor. Consider the enemy team composition when finalizing your situational items to maximize Nami's effectiveness. However, be aware that this build lacks defensive stats making Nami vulnerable to burst damage and no built-in sustain for extended fights. This build's moderate gold investment allows Nami to spike earlier in the game. Prioritize completing Imperial Mandate, Ardent Censer, Shurelya's Battlesong to maximize your mid-game impact. For optimal results with this Nami build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.
