How to win the jungle race as Naafiri against Evelynn · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Naafiri's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Evelynn.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Naafiri Dominant | Packmates plus the Darkin Daggers bleed win the level-1 numbers game. There is no version of this Evelynn wins right now — pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and that folds at the first buff. Show on their side of the river and take a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Naafiri Dominant | The Hounds' Pursuit dash trade chunks anyone contesting your second buff. Later in the game this bites, because her early duel is a bluff, but Allure charm setups punish brush face-checks. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Evelynn concedes. |
| Level 3 Route | Naafiri Dominant | The full pack with W dash and Q reset bleed is a real early kill threat, while pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle. Only one of those wins at the opening scuttle, so press it: take the level-3 river fight, then leave with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Naafiri Favoured — Take Duels | Through levels 4-5 you remain the stronger duelist — keep taking short, decisive trades vs Evelynn, but only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Evelynn's R | Demon Shade camouflage means they choose every post-6 fight, which is the whole problem: from six on she is invisible — every face-check is a charm into Last Caress. Buy sweepers, hug control wards, and never path alone through her quadrant, and spend The Call of the Pack to equalize rather than to open. |
| First Item Spike | Eclipse / Profane Hydra Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage and shielding multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or assassin targets. Evelynn's first item plus camouflage is the spike that flips the matchup — the charm rotation starts killing outright. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Danger — Evelynn Outscales | Every minute past 25 tilts toward Evelynn — she is invisible and lethal, and every unswept corridor is a charm into a delete. Force your win condition early or watch it slip away slowly. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health retention via E dash heals before executing a fast 3-camp clear straight into an aggressive lane gank or invade path. Evelynn clears slowly and unhealthily before six, so her early pathing is usually the safest, longest route she can take.
