| Levels 4-5 | Pyke | Through 4-5 short burst trades dodge Nami's E-empowered poke. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | At 6 Pyke's R executes Nami's carry if the bubble misses. |
| First item | Pyke | First item Pyke's hook-plus-follow outdamages Nami's enchant poke. |
| Two+ items | Pyke | Late, Pyke stays the superior pick threat versus escape-less Nami. |
You control levels 1-2: Nami's Q (Aqua Prison) is a delayed, dodgeable bubble and she has no dash, so a sidestepped Q lets you Q-hook or E-slow and bully her with your ADC. Ward the bushes and threaten to hook Nami directly, because without her bubble she has no way to peel herself. Her bubble interrupts your dash mid-flight, so hold it until hers is already spent. Charge the hook from cover so the wind-up is hidden, and use the camouflage to change your approach angle rather than spending it on a straight walk she can see coming.
