| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Level 1 favours Nami as her Q and W poke outrange your setup. |
| Level 2 | Nami | Level 2 favours Nami because Bubble threatens a stun-lock all-in. |
| Level 3 | Nami | Level 3 favours Nami since her bounce-heal wins extended trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as Thick Skin sustain closes the poke gap. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because Tidal Wave and Devour disengage offset. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even with your tankiness matching her poke. |
| Two+ items | Nami | Two items in favours Nami as her teamfight healing outscales your pick. |
Levels 1-3 favour Nami: her Bubble stun and Ebb-and-Flow poke give her the range and sustain to win the poke war, so you can't walk up freely and must wait to bait her Q before diving.
