How to win lane as Naafiri against Ahri · 52.97% win rate over 2,724 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Naafiri | Your Q push and Packmate trades beat her thin early mana and short range at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | At 2 your W into Packmate damage punishes any step-up she makes to farm before Charm is reliable. |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | Level 3 gives you the full Q-W-E kill combo that overwhelms her unless Charm lands first. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Through 4-5 your sustained pack damage keeps winning short trades she can't answer without cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Naafiri | Your level 6 Call of the Pack out-bursts her R mobility since she has no lockdown beyond Charm. |
| First item | Naafiri | On first item you still two-shot her fragile frame before she can itemize defensively. |
| Two+ items | Ahri | With two-plus items her W and R kiting plus Charm burst finally out-space your dash-in windows. |
You have the stronger level 1-2: your Q pushes and pokes while her mana is thin, and if she steps up to last-hit you can W-trade with Packmate damage she can't match without hitting Charm first.
