Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) to poke and control lane space, enabling your ADC's safer positioning.
Hold (E) defensively to peel for your ADC against Nami's engage and bubble threat.
Deny Nami brush control to reduce her (Q) angles and protect ADC access.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and apply (W) slow to set up easier follow-up from your ADC.
Hold (E) as a peel tool to punish Nami's engage attempts or bubble misses.
Avoid charging (Q) when Nami's bubble or (R) is available to reduce punish risk.

Danger windows

(Q) bubble after slows or ADC setup creates strong engage threat; respect positioning.
(R) can start or counter all-ins; track cooldown to avoid unfavorable fights.
Enemy ADC empowered by (E) can burst your ADC; hold peel and position to disrupt trades.

Early game

Win level 2 with your ADC by landing (Q) poke before Nami uses (E) and (W) trades.
Control brush to limit Nami's bubble setup and prevent her from buffing enemy ADC trades.
Use wave pressure to create safe poke windows and delay Nami's roam attempts.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (E) stun for peel, increasing ADC safety against Nami's engage.
Level 6 (R) gives long-range follow-up and pick potential, enabling safer all-ins or roams.
First completed mana/AP item boosts poke damage, increasing pressure and ADC access denial.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into denied enemy ADC positioning and safer ADC access.
Use (R) windows to force resets, secure vision around dragon, or create pick opportunities.
Roam after wave crashes with ADC safe and river vision to impact mid and objective control.

Tip: For Xerath vs Nami, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
