Track: Nami's Q — Aqua Prison (12–8s cooldown). The bubble starts every Nami play — sidestep it and her kit is small numbers.
Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nami.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 4,942 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Your EQ out-ranges Nami's Q bubble at level 1 for a free first trade. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At 2 your poke combo online beats her single lockdown tool. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 hinges on whether her Q bubble lands or you dodge it, so it's even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Through 4-5 your burst poke drops her carry faster than W can heal. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | At 6 your R plus EE all-in beats her R if you dodge the wave. |
| First item | Hwei | On first item your burn ticks through her W heal-bounce sustain. |
| Two+ items | Nami | By 2+ items her W/E/R enabler scaling out-values your poke as she powers her ADC. |
You win 1-2: your EQ poke out-ranges Nami's Q, and since her bubble is her only lockdown, forcing her to miss it leaves the trade entirely yours while she's stuck healing mana-hungry. Your poke out-ranges her bubble, and forcing her to move is worth more than the damage. Lock in the subject well before the exchange starts. Keep your carry off her bubble line, and watch the mana bar rather than trying to answer every heal she lands.
