Naafiri
Champions that beat Naafiri
- Corkimid
Missile Barrage (R) poke from 1225 outranges Hounds' Pursuit (R) dog pack engage, and Valkyrie (W) disengages the Eviscerate (E) reset chain. The Darkin Daggers (Q) dogs pre-6 are too slow to threaten the fire spot before Trinity Force.
- Dariustop
Naafiri must close for Darkin Daggers (Q) bleeds and Hounds' Pursuit (R) dash, eating Decimate (Q) outer-blade stacks each commit. Apprehend (E) cancels The Call of the Pack (W) speed boost, and Noxian Guillotine (R) executes before pack heal pays off.
- Fizzmid
Playful / Trickster (E) untargetable frame dodges Hounds' Pursuit (R) target lock-on cleanly and Urchin Strike (Q) plus Chum the Waters (R) shark closes the gap on Naafiri. Seastone Trident (W) percent-HP DPS out-trades Darkin Daggers (Q) bleed in extended fights.
- Malphitetop
Thunderclap (W) plus armor stacks remove Naafiri's auto-attack DPS and Unstoppable Force (R) knock-up removes her from her hounds, stopping the chase before Darkin Daggers (Q) bleed lands. Ground Slam (E) AOE attack speed cut breaks the pack's auto-attack chain.
- Talonjungle
Naafiri's Darkin Daggers Q needs a bleed target and she has no spell shield to eat Talon's first Rake W. Assassin's Path E catches her mid Eviscerate / Tireless Pursuit dash recovery,
- Yasuomid
Wind Wall (W) blocks both Darkin Daggers (Q) daggers outright, deleting Naafiri's main lane damage and bleed setup. Steel Tempest (Q3) tornado knock-up cancels Hounds' Pursuit (R) dash window and Last Breath (R) all-in finishes her after the wall expires.
- Yonemid
Spirit Cleave (W) absorbs Darkin Daggers (Q) projectile damage and Soul Unbound (E) dash chain plays around the same telegraph as Hounds' Pursuit (R). Mortal Steel (Q3) tornado interrupts dash window and Fate Sealed (R) knock-up all-in finishes Naafiri after.
- Zedmid
Living Shadow (W) swap dodges Hounds' Pursuit (R) target lock-on and Razor Shuriken (Q) chip damage out-trades Darkin Daggers (Q) bleed setup at range. Death Mark (R) bursts Naafiri before The Call of the Pack (W) untargetability triggers and itemization matches hers linearly.
Champions Naafiri beats
- Akshanmid
Naafiri's Packmates apply constant chip damage that breaks the 3-hit Dirty Fighting passive shield before it lands. Hounds' Pursuit (R) lock-on dash cancels Heroic Swing (E) and the Comeuppance (R) channel at the same time.
- Aniviamid
Anivia has no fast escape against Naafiri's Hounds' Pursuit (R) target dash. Crystallize (W) wall setup is too slow once R lands and Darkin Daggers (Q) plus auto-attacks finish her through Rebirth (P) egg respawn;
- Azirmid
Azir has no fast escape against Naafiri's Hounds' Pursuit (R) target dash. Conquering Sands (Q) plus Arise! (W) soldiers cannot peel after R lands and Darkin Daggers (Q) plus auto-attacks finish him before Shifting Sands (E) reaches a soldier;
- Brandmid
Hounds' Pursuit (R) dash pack closes the gap before Brand can land Pillar of Flame (W) plus Conflagration (E) setup, and the Packmates body-block Pyroclasm (R) bounces. Without a dash of his own, Brand is bursted before Sear (Q) comes up.
- Elisejungle
Packmates from We Are More (P) absorb Cocoon (E) by tagging the dogs before the stun lands. Hounds' Pursuit (R) bursts Elise in Human Form before Spider Form (R) swap, and Darkin Daggers (Q) bleeds chip through Volatile Spiderling (W) shield.
- Ivernjungle
We Are More (P) Packmates shred Ivern's groves in a pre-3 invade he cannot win — autos are weak, no escape. Eviscerate (E) dash bypasses Rootcaller (Q) angles, and Hounds' Pursuit (R) lets her chase Ivern through Triggerseed (E) slow.
- Malzaharmid
Malzahar stands still to channel Nether Grasp (R) — Hounds' Pursuit (R) target dash closes from outside his Call of the Void (Q) range and The Call of the Pack (W) brief untargetability eats the suppression so Naafiri arrives on top of him with full HP.
- Oriannamid
Orianna has no fast escape against Naafiri's Hounds' Pursuit (R) target dash. Command: Shockwave (R) ball-position windup is too slow once Naafiri lands and Darkin Daggers (Q) plus auto-attacks finish her before Command: Protect (E) shield rotates;
- Viktormid
Naafiri We Are More passive packmates plus Eviscerate (E) and Hounds' Pursuit (R) dash chain skips Viktor Gravity Field (W) tick and closes the 600 range gap before the field stuns. Darkin Daggers (Q) plus The Call of the Pack (W) shred him through Glorious Evolution shield.
