Tips Against Naafiri in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
IggyBoom says “Naafiri seems to have a rediciolous amount of damage. Watch up for her Qs!
If she dares to engage on you with her W do it just like with Akali or Talon, jump away with the W and get a guaranteed knock up!”
Hexeria says “[Deals some insane amount of damage, and you cant onehshot her dogs.] [Dodge her Q and E into her, when she casts her W or E.] Quickly trade some damage if her Q is out, because that will do the most damage.]”
Halkem says “Her trading is really dangerous on the early levels and she has good poke, so look to stay healthy and stack manaflow. E bounces on her little dogs since lv1. Avoid getting hit by both her Qs, since she heals then. You have good kill threat since she gets on lethal all the time just from E bounces. Your ult and Q is super good at peeling her engage on your carries.”
Iceyou says “very predictable trading pattern dodge the q, hit yours poke kill win lane . idle minion wave forever she cant kill you in level 3 even if she w in you will oneshot the dogs with w q and win the trade also stunning her allowing you to stop the all in . ”
SirZeros says “Shouldn't be that much of a pain as long as you don't force too much on him. Keep in mind that she's a strong and simple champion and that her little wolf pack is one of her main damage sources. With enough AOE damage from your Meeps and Statikk, you should be fine.”
TrueGIXERJ says “i have a horrible winrate against naafiri this season, her laning phase feels really safe and she will poke you down with Q before landing a nuclear all-in. try to clear her dogs and take her to late game where hopefully your team can do ANYTHING AGAINST HER LOL (she is very strong atm)”
The Milelator says “If you play well, AD assassins won't do anything against you. Try to trade and push waves. You can't towerdive her or all in, if she has her abilities up. Your wave clear is always better.”
TB Azir says “Q’lar?n? dodgelay?n ve paso dürtün, 6 leveldan önce üstünüze atlad???nda da E ile trade’i kazan?yorsunuz veya en kötü ihtimalle e?it ç?k?yorsunuz. 6’dan sonra da kulenize yak?n oynay?n ve üstünüze atlarsa kule alt?na yollay?n. Setup olarak da Yenilmez+Mutlak Odak+K?zart+Ignite+Crown veya ?lk Vuru?+TP+Luden tercih ediyorum.”
WarwicksSimp says “WIP
Unknown matchup at the moment but you can usually just E in response to her engage and all in her and win. Also you can auto dogs to one shot them.”
Tronnes says “This champ is really annoying and scales pretty hard, however this is a winnable matchup if you can pre dodge her q's. Make sure you don't accidentally w her pups. ”
Lindroganti says “Strangely hard? I don't see it much, but Naafiri's poke equals yours, if not exceeds it. Easy to block W, but they can just jump behind you. Do not stun the dogs on accident. To win you need to out poke them by dodging their Qs and hitting yours. I would not recommend engaging near their turret, because with the dogs Naafiri runs you down like a dog. Only benefit is that they don't outright destroy you unless they get really fed, so you can go for an even lane and roam rather than kill them.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: First Strike or Summon Aery]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Exhaust]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring or Corrupting Potion]
[Recommended Mythic Item: Everfrost]
[Dodge her Q especially her 2nd Q]
[Place your W when she is going to dash on you with her W and walk away]
[Always keep your distance from her and poke her with your E]
[Don't let her free roam]”
Coldsong says “Naafiri is mostly dependent on hitting her Q to trade, so dodging at least one of them is key. Other than that, she is a very easy matchup and you can constantly harass her with your W by killing her dogs and keeping her from gaining tempo. Like other AD assassins, if you see yourself falling behind make sure to capitalize on counter roams and contest objectives, since you move around the map much faster than she can.”
Allyooops says “Dodge her skillshots and she is useless early game. Dont let her hit q 2 and you wont be chunked out. Im pretty sure this champ outscales though so get lead early and dont let her take over the game”

Wraithlander says “Her wolves can block your E which you need to take into consideration when engaging on her. Honestly she probably wins every trade before her nerfs in 13.17 so just avoid straight up dueling her. If she Ws onto you aggressively you can E back under tower or into your wave to make her lose the trade.”
FlopQueenEra says “YOU CANT WIN TO THIS DOG, SHE WILL E+Q ON EARLY GAME DEALING 200+ DMG. YOU CAN ONLY DO IS ROAM OTHER LANE.
~I SUGGEST IS GO TO THE BUILD FOR ASSASSINS SECTION!”
Ankha Yuumi says “A very strong champion since her release. At the time of writing this, significant nerfs are announced for her that I hope will greatly weaken her, but for now, there isn't really one clear way to deal with her. If she casts her W on you, even if you try to escape using your W, she will manage to cast her entire combo on you during the flight.”
N1comagno03 says “If you can always stop his w with your e, you will be fine.
Otherwise, it's a lost lane.
Try to hit both he and his dogs with your abilities”
Lightning_Ranger221100 says “What da dog doin'? One shotting you under turret, that's what. Naafiri is a feast-or-famine type of character. If she is behind, she's basically an untrained house dog with no attack capabilities. However, the moment she gets more kills than deaths and two items, you better be sure you aren't an unattended child and that Naafiri's followers aren't named Princess, Bubbles and Charlotte. Try to disrupt her farm as best as possible and follow her on roams. However, pray she doesn't munch down on you during your jungle trekking.”
tangerrine says “Naafiri is just like the other assassins, but with a bit more kill potential. If you push too far up the lane, she will W onto and you will lose a lot of your health. Just try to root her if she does W you, but otherwise if you play safe and push wave when she roams and cheat a recall, you should win lane.
The good thing about this matchup, your empowered autos should one shot her puppies and all of your abilities kind of counter naafiri. Your E gets empowered by hitting her puppies and if they die, it procs another bloom. Overall oppressive matchup but you can still win pretty hard if you play right”
TheBougis says “Naafiri has the same principle as Malzahar and Elise because of her wolves.
She is very new so I am not sure how tough she is as I've seen people that are very good on her and dominate the lobby and people that are just plain bad with her.
Once I get more info I will update this.”
