At a glance

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

Do

  • Steer Q through the duo's line
  • Zoomies the carry's trade windows
  • Dismount only on schedule

Don't

  • Linger dismounted past the passive
  • Race heals during anti-heal windows

How to beat Nami as Yuumi: the early game

You own 1-4: your Q out-pokes a mana-hungry Nami and her Aqua Prison is a slow, dodgeable bubble you juke by repositioning on your ADC. Keep her mana low, chip her down, and deny the short trades her E would otherwise buff. Her bubble is the only thing that catches you, so stay attached and keep the heal-speed ready for the moment it lands. Aim the missile in the cooldown gaps, and let the wave state rather than a poke exchange decide a lane both of you can heal through.
