Best Nami Build & Guide (2026) — League of Legends

Nami is League of Legends' Tidecaller — an enchanter support who heals and damages with a bouncing wave, stuns enemies in a suspended bubble, empowers her allies' attacks with bonus magic damage and slows, and turns entire teamfights with a massive tidal wave that knocks up and slows everyone in its path. Nami excels at winning lane through aggressive poke trades with Ebb and Flow, setting up kills with Aqua Prison's bubble stun, and buffing auto-attack-based carries with Tidecaller's Blessing for devastating empowered trades. Whether you are a support player who wants an enchanter that can trade aggressively in lane while still scaling into a powerful teamfight healer, a duo queue player who wants to empower your ADC with on-hit damage steroids and movement speed, or a climbing player who wants a versatile support that combines healing, poke, crowd control, and ally empowerment in a single kit, this guide covers everything you need to dominate with Nami in 2026.

Nami Overview

Nami operates as a versatile enchanter support who combines healing, poke damage, crowd control, and ally empowerment into a kit that excels at every stage of the game. Unlike purely defensive enchanters like Janna or Soraka, Nami is an aggressive lane bully whose Ebb and Flow simultaneously heals her carry and damages the enemy, creating favorable trades that no other enchanter can match in raw efficiency.

Surging Tides (Passive) grants allied champions hit by any of Nami's abilities 100 bonus movement speed plus 25% AP, decaying over 1.5 seconds. Tidal Wave doubles this bonus to 200 plus 50% AP. Surging Tides is one of the most underappreciated passives in the game — every ability Nami casts on an ally speeds them up, meaning Ebb and Flow heals and speeds, Tidecaller's Blessing empowers and speeds, and Tidal Wave engages while giving allies a massive burst of movement speed to follow up. The passive makes Nami's allies stickier in chases, faster at disengaging, and more mobile in teamfights, compounding the value of every ability she casts.

Aqua Prison (Q) sends a bubble to the target location that deals 90 to 310 base magic damage plus 50% AP and suspends all enemies caught in the area for 1.5 seconds, briefly revealing them. Aqua Prison has a 12 to 8 second cooldown based on rank and costs 60 mana at all ranks. Aqua Prison is Nami's most impactful crowd control ability — the 1.5-second suspension acts as a stun that prevents enemies from using abilities, auto-attacking, or moving, and its area-of-effect can catch multiple enemies in a single bubble. Landing Aqua Prison in lane sets up guaranteed follow-up damage from Nami's ADC, and in teamfights a multi-person bubble can decide the entire fight. The skill expression comes from its travel time — Aqua Prison is a slow-moving projectile that skilled enemies can dodge, meaning Nami players must predict enemy movement or combo Q off of other crowd control to guarantee the hit.

Ebb and Flow (W) unleashes a stream of water onto the target champion or Nami herself, which then bounces to nearby unaffected champions up to twice, alternating between enemies and allies. Ebb and Flow heals allies for 55 to 155 base plus 40% AP and deals 60 to 200 base magic damage plus 50% AP to enemies, with each bounce modifying the next bounce's effectiveness by negative 15% plus 7.5% per 100 AP. Ebb and Flow has a 10 second cooldown at all ranks and costs 70 to 90 mana based on rank. Ebb and Flow is what makes Nami uniquely powerful in lane — a single W cast targeted on the enemy simultaneously damages the enemy and heals Nami's ADC when it bounces, creating a two-for-one trade that no other enchanter can replicate. The bounce mechanic rewards positioning, as Nami must ensure allies and enemies are close enough for all three bounces to connect. With enough AP, the bounce decay modifier reverses and each bounce becomes stronger than the last.

Tidecaller's Blessing (E) empowers Nami or an allied champion for 6 seconds, causing their next 3 basic attacks or abilities to deal 20 to 60 bonus magic damage plus 20% AP and slow enemies by 15% to 35% plus 5% per 100 AP for 1 second. Tidecaller's Blessing has an 11 second cooldown at all ranks and costs 55 to 75 mana based on rank. Tidecaller's Blessing transforms an ally's auto-attacks into empowered strikes that deal bonus magic damage and apply a slow, making it the perfect buff for auto-attack-based carries like Lucian, Jinx, or Caitlyn. The slow from each empowered attack helps allies stick to targets, and the bonus magic damage adds a damage type that enemies cannot easily itemize against when the carry is dealing physical damage. Casting E on an ally also triggers Surging Tides, speeding them up while they chase down the slowed target.

Tidal Wave (R) sends a massive wave in the target direction that briefly knocks up enemies it contacts, deals 150 to 350 base magic damage plus 60% AP, and slows them by 70% for 2 to 4 seconds based on how far the wave has traveled. Tidal Wave has a 120 to 100 second cooldown based on rank and costs 100 mana at all ranks. Tidal Wave is one of the strongest engage and disengage ultimates among support champions — the wave travels a massive distance, knocks up and slows the entire enemy team, and triggers a doubled Surging Tides movement speed bonus on allies it passes through. The longer the wave travels before hitting enemies, the longer the slow duration, meaning Tidal Wave used from max range applies a devastating 4-second 70% slow that makes it nearly impossible for enemies to escape or chase. In teamfights, Tidal Wave can be used as an engage tool that initiates from long range, a disengage tool that peels diving enemies, or a follow-up tool that chains with allied crowd control for extended lockdown.

Strengths

• Ebb and Flow simultaneously heals Nami's ADC and damages the enemy champion in a single cast, creating a net health swing that wins trades against every other support in the game because no other ability in League of Legends provides both healing and damage in one action that affects both sides of the trade — When Nami casts W on the enemy ADC, it bounces to heal her own carry and then bounces back to damage the enemy again, creating a three-bounce sequence that can swing a trade by hundreds of health points in Nami's favor. This dual-purpose ability means Nami wins poke trades automatically as long as allies and enemies are positioned for bounces
• Tidecaller's Blessing empowers an ally's next 3 auto-attacks with bonus magic damage and a slow, turning any auto-attack-based carry into a more lethal threat whose attacks both deal more damage and prevent the target from escaping — Casting E on a Lucian before he dashes in for a trade adds significant bonus damage to his auto-attack weaving pattern while each empowered attack slows the enemy, making it impossible to walk away. The combination of bonus damage and slow means E-empowered trades almost always result in kills or blown summoner spells
• Aqua Prison's 1.5-second suspension is one of the longest non-ultimate crowd control abilities among supports, and its area-of-effect can catch multiple enemies in a single bubble, making it a fight-changing ability when landed on two or more targets — A double-bubble on the enemy ADC and support in lane is almost always a kill, and a multi-person Aqua Prison in a teamfight provides enough time for Nami's team to burst down suspended targets before they can react. The suspension prevents all actions including summoner spells, making it lethal when followed up immediately
• Tidal Wave's massive range, knockup, and up to 4-second 70% slow at max distance makes it one of the strongest teamfight ultimates among enchanters, providing engage, disengage, or peel depending on the situation while also triggering a doubled Surging Tides movement speed bonus on allies it passes through — A max-range Tidal Wave into the enemy team before a Dragon fight knocks up the entire enemy frontline, slows them for 4 seconds, speeds up Nami's entire team, and deals respectable AoE damage — all from a single ability cast at safe range

Weaknesses

• Nami is extremely squishy with low base health and no built-in escape ability, meaning any assassin or diver who reaches her will kill her before she can cast enough abilities to peel herself — Unlike Janna who has Monsoon knockback or Lulu who has Polymorph, Nami's only self-peel is landing Aqua Prison — a slow-moving skill shot that assassins can dodge easily. A flanking Zed, Talon, or Rengar deletes Nami in under a second if she does not land a clutch Q
• Aqua Prison is a slow-moving skill shot with a noticeable travel time, meaning skilled enemies can dodge it consistently, and missing Q in a critical moment leaves Nami without her primary crowd control for 12 seconds at rank 1 — Against high-mobility champions like Lucian, Ezreal, or Vayne, landing Aqua Prison becomes nearly impossible without setting it up with other crowd control. A Nami who cannot land Q loses a massive portion of her kit's value because the bubble stun is what enables kills and protects carries
• Ebb and Flow's mana cost is extremely high at 70 to 90 mana per cast, meaning Nami runs out of mana quickly if she uses W for every trade in lane, limiting the number of poke trades she can take before needing to back — Nami's W is her primary trading tool, but each cast drains a significant portion of her mana pool. Aggressive Nami players who spam W to win trades often find themselves out of mana by level 5 or 6, unable to use Aqua Prison or Tidal Wave when a gank or all-in opportunity arises
• Nami's late-game impact is lower than other enchanters like Lulu or Janna because her kit does not scale as explosively with items — Ebb and Flow's bounce decay reduces healing on subsequent bounces, and Tidecaller's Blessing only affects 3 attacks — While Nami is one of the strongest laning supports, her relative power decreases compared to enchanters whose shields and heals scale multiplicatively with heal and shield power items. A full-build Lulu provides more raw protection to a carry than a full-build Nami

Recommended Runes

Primary — Summon Aery (Sorcery)

• Summon Aery — Sends Aery to damage enemies when Nami deals damage or to shield allies when Nami buffs them. Summon Aery procs on every Ebb and Flow cast, adding bonus damage when W hits an enemy and a bonus shield when W heals an ally, doubling up the value of Nami's signature ability. Aery also procs on Tidecaller's Blessing, shielding the ally Nami empowers, and on Aqua Prison for bonus damage on stunned targets. No other keystone provides both offensive and defensive value on every ability Nami casts.
• Manaflow Band — Grants permanent bonus mana when hitting enemy champions with abilities, up to a cap, then grants mana regeneration. Manaflow Band is essential for Nami because Ebb and Flow costs 70 to 90 mana per cast, and Nami wants to trade with W as frequently as possible in lane. Each W bounce that hits an enemy champion stacks Manaflow Band, and once fully stacked the bonus mana regeneration lets Nami sustain her aggressive trading pattern without running dry.
• Transcendence — Grants ability haste at levels 5, 8, and 11, and resets basic ability cooldowns partially on champion takedowns. Transcendence provides the ability haste Nami needs to cast W and E more frequently in teamfights. The cooldown reset on takedowns is especially valuable because it lets Nami chain abilities during extended fights — after her team kills a target she stunned with Q, the partial reset lets her immediately cast another Q or W to continue contributing.
• Scorch — Deals bonus magic damage to enemy champions when hitting them with an ability. Scorch adds damage to Nami's W poke in lane, making each Ebb and Flow trade deal even more damage on top of the healing swing. The extra damage helps Nami establish lane dominance in levels 1 through 5 when aggressive trading decides whether the lane is won or lost.

Secondary — Resolve

• Bone Plating — Reduces damage taken from the next 3 instances of damage from an enemy champion after being hit. Bone Plating gives Nami survivability against enemy all-ins and burst trades. When the enemy Draven or Lucian attempts to trade aggressively, Bone Plating reduces the damage of their first three hits, giving Nami time to cast W and trade back. The damage reduction is especially important because Nami is squishy and needs to survive the initial burst to use her abilities effectively.
• Revitalize — Increases healing and shielding power, with increased effectiveness on low-health targets. Revitalize directly amplifies Ebb and Flow's healing and Aery's bonus shield, and the increased effectiveness on low-health targets means Nami's W heals for significantly more when her ally is in danger of dying. The multiplicative scaling with enchanter items makes Revitalize increasingly valuable as Nami completes her build.

Recommended Item Build

Based on data from over 50,000 ranked Nami matches tracked on dodge.gg, here's the highest winrate build path.

Early Game (0–10 min)

• World Atlas — Grants health and generates gold through the support item passive when nearby minions die. World Atlas is Nami's starting support item that provides income generation without requiring her to last-hit minions. The health bonus adds survivability in lane against poke, and the gold generation ensures Nami can reach her core enchanter items on a support budget.
• Ionian Boots of Lucidity — Grants ability haste and summoner spell haste. Ionian Boots are Nami's best boot choice because ability haste reduces cooldowns on Ebb and Flow and Aqua Prison, letting her trade and crowd control more frequently. The summoner spell haste keeps Flash and Ignite or Exhaust available more often, and the gold efficiency of Ionian Boots accelerates Nami's build path toward her first completed item.
• Bandleglass Mirror — Grants ability power and ability haste. Bandleglass Mirror is a key enchanter component that provides both AP to increase W healing and damage values and ability haste for more frequent casts. It builds into Imperial Mandate and provides an immediate spike in Nami's trading power.

Core Build (10–20 min)

• Imperial Mandate — Grants ability power, health, ability haste, and mana regeneration, with a passive that marks enemy champions Nami immobilizes or slows, causing the next allied attack against the marked target to deal bonus magic damage and grant both Nami and the attacker bonus movement speed. Imperial Mandate is Nami's highest winrate first item because every ability in her kit triggers the mark — Aqua Prison's stun, Ebb and Flow's damage bounce, Tidecaller's Blessing's slow on empowered attacks, and Tidal Wave's knockup and slow all apply Imperial Mandate's mark for allies to detonate. The bonus damage and movement speed on detonation amplify Nami's aggressive trading pattern and help her team chase down marked targets.
• Dream Maker — Grants ability power, health, and mana regeneration, with a passive that grants Nami stacking bubbles over time that empower her next shield or heal on an ally, adding a damage-absorbing shield and bonus magic damage on their next attacks. Dream Maker transforms Ebb and Flow into an even more powerful trade tool because the W heal on an ally now also grants a shield and empowered attacks. This double-dips on Nami's W efficiency — the ally is healed, shielded, and deals bonus damage, turning every W cast into a massive advantage swing.
• Ardent Censer — Grants ability power, mana regeneration, and increases healing and shielding power, with a passive that grants bonus attack speed and on-hit magic damage to allies Nami heals or shields. Ardent Censer synergizes perfectly with Nami's kit because Ebb and Flow healing, Tidal Wave's Surging Tides proc, and Aery's shield all trigger the Ardent passive, granting Nami's ADC bonus attack speed and on-hit damage. Combined with Tidecaller's Blessing, a single E-W combo gives the carry bonus magic damage from E, a slow, healing from W, Aery shield, Ardent attack speed, and Ardent on-hit damage.

Late Game (25+ min)

• Redemption — Grants ability power, health, mana regeneration, and increases healing and shielding power, with an active that calls down a beam of light to heal allies and damage enemies in an area. Redemption gives Nami a second area-of-effect healing tool that can be cast from extreme range and even while dead. In late-game teamfights where Nami is killed before she can cast all her abilities, Redemption's active still contributes healing from beyond the grave.
• Staff of Flowing Water — Grants ability power, mana regeneration, and ability haste, with a passive that grants bonus ability power and movement speed to both Nami and the ally she heals or shields. Staff of Flowing Water turns every Ebb and Flow heal into a triple buff — the ally receives healing, bonus AP, and bonus movement speed. On AP-heavy carries, the bonus AP amplifies their damage meaningfully, and the movement speed stacks with Surging Tides for extreme chase potential.
• Mikael's Blessing — Grants ability power, mana regeneration, magic resistance, and increases healing and shielding power, with an active that cleanses crowd control from an ally. Mikael's Blessing gives Nami an answer to enemy crowd control that she cannot interrupt with Aqua Prison. The active cleanse saves carries from lethal stuns, roots, and suppressions, and the magic resistance provides Nami with durability against AP threats in late-game teamfights.

Ability Priority

1. Ebb and Flow (W) — Max first. Each rank increases the heal from 55 to 155 and the damage from 60 to 200, while the bounce efficiency modifier improves. Maxing W first is essential because Ebb and Flow is Nami's primary trading tool and her most-cast ability in every game. Higher W ranks mean each trade swings more health in Nami's favor — more healing for her ally and more damage to the enemy per cast. The mana cost increase per rank is the trade-off, but the dramatically increased healing and damage make W max the clear choice.
2. Tidal Wave (R) — Level at 6, 11, and 16. Each rank increases the base damage from 150 to 350 and reduces the cooldown from 120 to 100 seconds. Level 6 is a significant power spike because Tidal Wave's long-range knockup and slow gives Nami engage and disengage tools that transform her from a lane bully into a teamfight-influencing support. The cooldown reduction at higher ranks ensures Tidal Wave is available for every major objective fight.
3. Tidecaller's Blessing (E) — Max second. Each rank increases the bonus magic damage from 20 to 60 and the slow from 15% to 35%. Maxing E second amplifies the damage and utility of Nami's ally-empowering buff. Higher-rank E provides more bonus damage per empowered attack and a stronger slow that makes it harder for enemies to escape, which is especially impactful when cast on carries who auto-attack frequently. The increased slow also improves setup for landing follow-up Aqua Prisons.
4. Aqua Prison (Q) — Max last. Q's primary value is the 1.5-second suspension, which does not increase with rank — a single point provides the same stun duration as a maxed Q. Additional ranks increase Q's damage and reduce its cooldown, but Nami's damage is not her priority and the cooldown reduction is modest. Q's value lies in its crowd control, which a single point fully provides.

Playstyle Tips

Early Game / Laning Phase

Nami's early game focuses on winning trades with Ebb and Flow bounces, setting up kills with Aqua Prison, and empowering her ADC's auto-attacks with Tidecaller's Blessing to dominate the lane and establish an early lead.

Start W at level 1 and immediately look for trades. Cast Ebb and Flow on the enemy support or ADC whenever they step forward to CS — the W bounces to heal your ADC and then bounces back to damage the enemy again, creating a health swing in your favor with a single button press. Position yourself so that your ADC is between you and the enemy when you cast W to ensure all three bounces connect.

At level 2, take E for Tidecaller's Blessing. Cast E on your ADC just before they auto-attack in a trade — the empowered auto deals bonus magic damage and slows the enemy, letting your ADC land additional auto-attacks while the target is slowed. The slow from E also makes it easier to land a follow-up Q at level 3 because the enemy's movement speed is reduced. E plus W in a short trade is Nami's bread-and-butter level 2 combo that wins against nearly every support matchup.

Level 3 brings Q online, and Aqua Prison gives Nami kill pressure. The ideal combo is E on your ADC so they slow the target, then Q the slowed enemy for a near-guaranteed bubble stun, followed by W for damage and healing. If your ADC has Ignite and follows up on the stunned target, this combo kills most enemy bot lanes from 70% health at level 3. Do not throw Q randomly hoping to hit — save it for when the enemy is slowed by E, locked down by your jungler's gank, or positioned predictably while last-hitting under tower.

Level 6 adds Tidal Wave to Nami's arsenal. Use R to initiate all-ins by sending the wave at the enemy bot lane from medium range — the knockup and slow guarantee a follow-up Q stun, and the doubled Surging Tides movement speed lets your ADC chase down the slowed targets. Tidal Wave can also be used defensively to disengage enemy ganks or dives by sending the wave through the chasing enemies to slow and knock them up while your team retreats.

Mid Game

Mid-game Nami with Imperial Mandate and Dream Maker is a teamfight-enabling support who empowers her team's damage through Tidecaller's Blessing and Imperial Mandate procs, heals and shields allies with Ebb and Flow and Dream Maker, and controls fights with Aqua Prison stuns and Tidal Wave engages.

After completing Imperial Mandate, every ability Nami lands on an enemy marks them for Imperial Mandate detonation — when an ally attacks the marked target, both the ally and Nami gain bonus movement speed and the target takes bonus damage. This passive transforms Nami's poke from a lane trading tool into a teamfight damage amplifier. Cast E on your carry, then W the enemy to mark them with Imperial Mandate, and the carry's E-empowered auto-attack detonates the mark for a devastating burst of combined damage.

In mid-game skirmishes around Dragon and Rift Herald, Nami's role is to empower her carry and control the fight. Position behind your frontline, cast E on your ADC before they engage, and look for multi-target Q bubbles on enemies who group together. A two-person Aqua Prison during a Dragon fight stuns two enemies for 1.5 seconds, which is often enough time for your team to burst them down and win the objective fight decisively.

Use Tidal Wave proactively in mid-game teamfights rather than saving it for disengage. A max-range Tidal Wave that hits three or more enemies before a fight starts gives your team a massive advantage — the knockup and 4-second slow prevent enemies from positioning properly, the doubled Surging Tides speeds up your entire team, and Imperial Mandate marks every enemy hit for bonus damage on the first allied attack. Initiating with R into follow-up Q on the slowed targets is Nami's highest-impact teamfight combo.

Ward aggressively using Surging Tides' movement speed to stay safe. Every time Nami casts an ability near an ally, both gain movement speed, making Nami faster at rotating to place wards and harder to catch while doing so. Place deep wards in the enemy jungle before objectives spawn, and use your movement speed advantage to get back to your team before enemies can collapse on you.

Late Game

Late-game Nami with full enchanter build is a teamfight-deciding support who must maximize the value of every ability cast, landing crucial Aqua Prisons to pick off targets, casting Ebb and Flow on the optimal target for maximum bounce efficiency, and timing Tidal Wave for either fight-winning engages or critical disengage.

In late-game teamfights, your priority is casting E on your strongest carry before every fight and landing multi-target abilities. Tidecaller's Blessing with Ardent Censer turns your ADC's auto-attacks into empowered strikes with bonus magic damage, slow, attack speed, and on-hit damage — a single E cast provides an enormous damage and utility spike that your carry should capitalize on immediately.

Position Tidal Wave usage carefully based on the fight context. If your team has the engage advantage, use R from max range to initiate — the 4-second slow at maximum distance makes it nearly impossible for enemies to disengage or reposition. If the enemy team is diving your carries, use R defensively to knock back divers and slow them while your team repositions.

Use Mikael's Blessing active to cleanse critical crowd control on your carry. If the enemy Ashe or Morgana roots your ADC, Mikael's instantly removes the CC. Timing Mikael's correctly can save a carry who would otherwise be killed during a 2-second root or stun, often deciding whether your team wins or loses the fight.

Landing Aqua Prison becomes critical in late game because death timers are long and a single pick can end the game. Look for Q opportunities on enemies who are face-checking bushes, walking through narrow jungle corridors, or committed to channeled abilities. A late-game Q stun on the enemy carry gives your team 1.5 seconds to burst them from full health, and losing their primary damage dealer for 50+ seconds to a death timer often means Baron, inhibitor, or the game.

Matchups

Favorable

• Alistar — Alistar is a melee engage support who combos Headbutt into Pulverize for a knockup engage. Nami beats Alistar because she can poke him relentlessly with W bounces while he is melee and unable to trade back without committing to his full combo. If Alistar Headbutts in, Nami can Q the landing spot to suspend him during the follow-up, preventing the Pulverize knockup. Nami's sustain from W keeps her lane healthy through Alistar's attempts to trade, and Alistar's inability to poke back means Nami wins every trade until he commits to an all-in.
• Braum — Braum is a defensive melee support who blocks projectiles with Unbreakable and stuns with Concussive Blows. Nami beats Braum because Ebb and Flow cannot be blocked by Braum's shield when cast on an ally first, and Braum's passive stun requires four auto-attacks that he cannot consistently apply when Nami's ADC is empowered with Tidecaller's Blessing slow. Braum wants to play forward to apply his passive, but Nami's W poke punishes him every time he steps into range.
• Tahm Kench — Tahm Kench is a tanky support who protects allies by devouring them and engages with Abyssal Dive. Nami beats Tahm Kench because she can poke him freely with W bounces from range, and his limited mobility means he cannot avoid the sustained W poke that chips away at his health bar. Tahm Kench's Devour is a powerful defensive tool, but Nami's poke ensures the enemy lane is always low enough that Tahm Kench is forced to use Devour defensively rather than offensively.

Even

• Lulu — Lulu is an enchanter support who shields, polymorphs, and enlarges allies. The matchup is even because both enchanters empower their carries — Nami with E's bonus damage and slow versus Lulu with Pix's bolts and shield. Lulu's Polymorph shuts down Nami's carry during trades, but Nami's W heal-and-damage bounce creates larger health swings per trade. The lane comes down to whether Nami can land Q to set up kills or Lulu can Polymorph at the right moment to prevent follow-up.
• Thresh — Thresh is a hook support who combines pick potential with lantern utility. The matchup is even because Nami can Q the spot where Thresh hooks to suspend him during his engage, but a landed Thresh hook followed by Flay is difficult for Nami to respond to because her Q has a slow travel time. Thresh's Lantern bringing a jungler turns the lane from even to dangerous, but Nami's sustain from W lets her survive poke-oriented laning against Thresh's Flay harass.
• Janna — Janna is an enchanter support who shields and peels with knockups and knockbacks. The matchup is even because both supports empower their carries with steroids — Nami's E grants on-hit damage and slows while Janna's E grants bonus AD and a shield. Nami's sustain from W healing matches Janna's shielding, and both champions have crowd control that can turn fights. The lane is decided by which support lands their abilities more consistently.

Unfavorable

• Pyke — Pyke is an assassin support who hooks, stuns, and executes enemies with Death from Below. Pyke counters Nami because his Bone Skewer hook into Phantom Undertow stun combo bursts Nami from full health before she can react — Nami is one of the squishiest supports in the game and cannot survive Pyke's all-in. If Nami tries to poke Pyke with W, his Gift of the Drowned Ones passive regenerates the damage while he is hidden. Pyke's stealth from Ghostwater Dive also makes it impossible for Nami to land a preemptive Q because she cannot see him coming.
• Morgana — Morgana is a mage support with Black Shield, Dark Binding root, and Tormented Shadow damage. Morgana hard-counters Nami because Black Shield completely negates Aqua Prison's stun — Morgana can shield herself or her ADC when they see the bubble coming, turning Nami's primary crowd control into a useless ability. Without Q stun, Nami loses her kill setup and her primary peel tool, reducing her to an inferior version of other enchanters who do not rely on a single blockable crowd control ability.
• Zyra — Zyra is a mage support who deals high sustained damage through plants and roots. Zyra punishes Nami because her plant damage outranges Ebb and Flow, and Zyra's root plus plant burst can kill Nami through any amount of W healing. In lane, Zyra's AoE damage from plants forces Nami to use W defensively for healing rather than offensively for trading, eliminating Nami's primary lane advantage. Zyra's damage does not require engaging into Nami's Q range, neutralizing her crowd control threat.
