Assassin
Beginner Rule
Respect Naafiri when she activates The Call of the Pack (R) — her all-in threat increases dramatically.
Naafiri is an assassin who excels at diving onto isolated targets with the help of her pack. She wants to use The Call of the Pack (R) to boost her threat before committing to an all-in. Many beginners underestimate how much damage Naafiri's pack contributes during fights.
Level 6 – Ultimate unlocks strong assassination potential.
First Item – Burst damage becomes threatening.
Two Items – Can quickly eliminate squishy targets.

Pack damage
Roaming
Isolated targets
QWhat it does
Hurls up to two daggers inflicting bleed. Bonus damage on already-bleeding targets. Packmates leap to the first champion hit.
How to play against
Dodge both daggers — bleeding from both sets up the bonus damage. Her dogs leap to hit targets.
WWhat it does
Goes untargetable briefly empowering her pack and gaining Move Speed and Attack Damage.
How to play against
She's untargetable during cast — don't waste CC. The speed boost makes her very hard to escape.
EWhat it does
Dashes and deals AoE damage recalling and fully healing her packmates.
How to play against
The recall heals her dogs completely. Focus her, not the dogs — she'll heal them endlessly with E.
RWhat it does
She and her pack dash at a champion dealing damage. Second recast gives a shield. Bonus recast on takedown.
How to play against
Her ult is a high-speed multi-body dive. Back off or use hard CC as she starts the dash. Spread away from her dive target.
Dash → Full Combo
Standard assassination pattern.
R → Engage → Burst
Maximizes damage.
Pick → Reset Pressure
Snowballs fights.
We Are More: she commands a pack of Darkin Hounds. They passively respawn over time. When she casts abilities they leap to attack. She's a pack — treat all dogs as threats.
