Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (E) root threat from brush to create ADC follow-up and zone Nami's poke.
Control brush to deny Nami's bubble angles and protect your ADC from her engage.
Leverage level 6 (R) to turn extended fights into sustain zones, forcing Nami's lane to respect your all-in.

Trading pattern

Threaten (E) from minion angles and only pull when your ADC can immediately burst the target.
Hold engage cooldowns until (Q) bubble or (R) are on cooldown to avoid counter-engage.
Use (W) slow to layer CC and secure follow-up kills with your ADC after a successful root.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) bubble range and avoid stepping into brush without vision to prevent ADC vulnerability.
Watch for (E) empowered ADC autos that enable burst trades; peel or disengage accordingly.
Beware of level 6 (R) engage or disengage that can isolate your ADC if caught out of position.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (E)+(Q) combo with ADC follow-up to force Nami back.
Hold brush control early to limit Nami's bubble setup and protect your ADC's positioning.
Crash wave after level 3 to open safe roam windows and establish river vision for dragon setup.

Power spikes

Level 3 adds (W) slow and vision, enhancing poke and zone control around brush.
Level 6 (R) transforms fights into drain zones; use it with your ADC to punish Nami's limited disengage.

Win conditions
