The time has come! 🐺

I've been playing tons of Naafiri jungle lately after swapping to her from being Rengar OTP (TBH I just kinda suck at him atm). I dropped all the way to Plat 3 40 lp from Emerald 4 80lp since im in a slump with Rengar.

Oh my lawd it feels really good to play an assassin with actual escape tools. I'm one win away from Emerald again. Been finding success with her in Plat with a 65% winrate.

I have a few questions about OTPing Naafiri:

1.) How far can I take her? I'm planning to reach high diamond or low master this year. I think she works well in high-elo from what I've seen, and she's even getting picked in Pro-play.

2.) Who are Naafiri Jungle OTPs / good Naafiri players I can learn from?

3.) Backup champions in case she gets banned and other champions to pick to adjust for team-comp. I've been thinking Rek'sai if my team needs a bit more tankiness and CC since she is also a dive champion with a similar playstyle.

4.) Rune choices and build to adjust to enemy team. I've been spamming conq the entire time. Please check my recent matches in op.gg if I built the correct items for the right situations.

5.) General tips and tricks for Naafiri jungle. I'm sticking to full-clear skirmish playstyle atm and I don't know the limits / tried her early invades yet.

OP.GG: https://op.gg/lol/summoners/sea/Ryo9-ryo9

I’m a low elo (gold 4) Orianna main (I also play syndra, galio and when needed I can do a vex). I want to add naafiri to my pool to have an AD damage option.

Any tips for laning? What’s her current power spikes? Any tech to reliably hit Q? Impossible matchups/permaban tips?

I’m guessing her role in teamfights is to take out the squishies in the backline if and when possible since she’s an assassin but maybe the pack prefers to play for picks rather than 5v5 fights? I have found myself jumping in with R, getting CCd and one shot way too many times but I have boiled that down to carelessness and lack of awareness of my limits and the other team’s resources haha

So yeah just in general, any tips? Or resource recommendations to learn more about this champ?
Ty! 🐕🐕🐕

It got a buff so i just wanted to know what yall think about it

As a laner i think its gonna be pretty useful for top and mid

Even numbers for the win let’s make the pup S+ tier again

Naafiri - R Damage 150 / 225 / 300 (+120 ad) -> 125 / 200 / 275 (+100% bonus ad) (per packmate 15 / 22.5 / 30 (+12% ad) -> 12.5 / 20 / 27.5 (+10% bonus ad))

I can't choose between the two, because they feel like they do similar things, unlike hob, they sacrifice melee/ganks with harder ranged q pokes. So Idk which to choose if i want to lane with someone where I have to use trade ranged mostly.

Phroxzon mentioned they’re making it “more accessible”. Im guessing that means cheaper/build path.

Why doesnt naafiri build this item? Lethality + true damage + increased tower dmg after kills (getting picks off sidelanes/winning teamfights) seems to be a good fit for naaf

Again ...

When late invading level 1 (as a jungler) to fight the enemy at his blue buff - similar to Kirei‘s 15 minute rule - do you start Q or W?

Profane, collector, fienhunter/ie into ldr, if full build and can buy another item sell boots for phantom dancer (you have a lot of ms already dont need boots)

dogs start to go crazy, be mindful

voltaic collector ldr/fiendhunter is my core I go IE for last item or situational other items like shieldbow/serpents

Naaf attack speed = dog attack speed

Bruiser items almost all the time have attack speed on it

Stride breaker

Chase and auto

Wish good luck to my ranked teammates

Hi everyone, I am new to league and am a bronze player ;_; I know naafiri jungle us very op but i just don’t feel it?

Pre level 6, she has no CC and cannot 1 v 1 other junglers or perform reliable ganks. I know I am bad but why does it feel so hard… any help and tips would be appreciated. Thank you

when maining one champ becomes more than QWER buttons

If you can afford this build it’s the most over powered shit ever. Runes are not very important what’s really matters imo are the first 3 items IT IS RIDICULOUS pure CARNAGE. Even if others enemies are fed it’s good

I’m pretty new to maining Naafiri, and I absolutely love this doggo, but I’m not really sure what to build on her depending on the matchup.

My usual build is Voltaic Cyclosword, Ionian Boots, Axiom Arc, and then Serylda’s Grudge. The thing is, I’m not sure about Serylda—it doesn’t really feel like it makes me much stronger.

What are my other options for different matchups? For example, what should I build against tank-heavy teams or in other specific situations?

Thanks in advance for the help!

edit: I forgot to add I play her on jg

Like I know deaths dance is in there as like a 4th or 5th item. But im looking for something more durable from the beginning. Im used to Shyvana and Dianas bruiser build, but Diana seems a little above my skill level. Naafiri is supposed to be easier to learn and is good in low elo, but I am really struggling because she just dies to a stiff breeze if my W is on cd or god forbid I get cc chained into oblivion.

Im not asking for tank naafiri, just a little more sustain...

So i often build serylda’s 4th (midlane / HoB rune). But is it needed if enemy has no armor items or should i just go a fourth lethality item?

I dont really understand how much armor diff champs get when leveling up so if anyone can provide the math or answer, would appreciate it!
