Nami General information

Nami tips and tricks

Try and be as obnoxious as possible in the early game to get a lead. Abuse the enemy with your basic attacks and Ebb and FlowW.

If timed correctly, you can use your Ultimate Tidal WaveR in sync with your Aqua PrisonQ to double CC the enemy. Once they’re knocked up, throw out your Aqua PrisonQ to keep them locked down.

In team fights, make sure you stick with your team and stand in the backline so you do not get killed at the start of the team fight.
