A sustain mirror your invuln cheats — their best window meets a scheduled 'no'.

Track: Nami's Q — Aqua Prison (12–8s cooldown). The bubble starts every Nami play — sidestep it and her kit is small numbers.

Do

  • Weave empowered autos per spell
  • Bank R for their kill windows
  • Stun off the link's double angle

Don't

  • Heal-race without the weave
  • R the chip
  • Link the wrong body

Levels 4-5Even / skillAt 4-5 it evens as your Bastion sustain matches her enchanter healing.

How to beat Nami as Taric: the early game

Nami wins levels 1-3: her bubble threat plus E-empowered ADC autos win the poke war and punish any melee step-up, while your Q heal is short-ranged and mana-costly, so respect the level-2 all-in. Her bubble interrupts your wind-up, so hold the stun until hers is already spent. Keep the link on your carry preemptively, let the empowered autos accumulate in between, and spend heal charges on the chip rather than saving them for a moment that may not arrive.
