Nami's Abilities

Nami's Combos
Laning Phase Combos To Trade.
Assuming you started with

Since your biggest priority is to push for level 2 earlier than the enemy botlane, you should be positioned aggressively and take

At level 3 you'll be able to grab your bubble. To always guarantee a bubble do the following:

You can also give



When you reach level 6 there are a few tricks to using your ultimate to it's full potential. For example you can channel


Your level 6 combo for trading/scoring a kill:

This procs all of your debuffs and should score you an easy kill if you and your AD are on the same page or you are building AP.
As a side note, Nami's


It can also be used as a displacement ability along with her





What Is My Role as a Support
The Job of The Enchanter.
As the support in your team, your job is to defend your allies and provide buffs, slows and lead everybody to victory.
In laning phase, you want to trade HP and Mana using

Whenever possible, you should look to roam. Preferrably with your Jungler. Nami's kit provides really easy and fast movement around the map.
If your lane is behind or your adc is not that bright, roaming is your best friend. What I do in situations like that is buy early


In teamfights ou want to be positioned behind, somewhere alongside your AD and peel any assassins coming for your AD using your


Remember your safetly is always first! If you get caught or just get focused down and die, your team will most likely follow shortly after. Don't overlook items like


Taking


And that's all I can think of for this guide.
Runes
Main Keystone Options:
![]() |
Summon AeryThis rune synergizes with your whole kit as Nami. It also allows for easy application of effect like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
GuardianGuardian is extremely good if you need the extra sustain/tankiness. Combine with ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
ElectrocuteThe most aggressive option from all. Electrocute is really good on Nami, as it procs of an ally that has ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Secondary Rune Options For:
![]() |
SorceryViable secondary options for ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
ResolveFor resolve I mainly run the following: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
DominationHere some of the options I often opt to are: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
InspirationWhat I usually pick for this: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
PrecisionI rarely take this but here are some options I find viable: ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Items
Mythic Items
![]() |
Moonstone renewerA great item whenever you will need a bit more sustain. It is a pretty safe option and you can rarely do wrong by purchasing it as your Mythic. It synergizes very well with ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Locket of the Iron SolariLocket is a very good option if you need aoe shields/sustain. Some examples are if you are playing against a ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Imperial MandateMandate is by far my most favorite item on nami as it's easily applied with Nami's ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Ability Power Mythics
![]() |
EverfrostEverfrost works really well with Nami's kit, which is full of slows and knockups. You can pair it with ![]() |
![]() |
Crown of the Shattered QueenCrown is great for matchups where you need extra survivability. A high AP/AD threat that you know will focus you. It's shield absorbs a lot of damage. Can be paired with ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Night HarvesterNight Harvester allows your abilities to have some extra oomph and it gives a passive for haste and a good amount of AP. Both of those are essential for Nami and her kit. |
Basic, Epic and Legendary Items
![]() |
Chemtech PutrifierThis item is extremely good if playing against high sustain comps like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
RedemptionRedemption is a great aoe healing tool and it works in almost every scenario and game. It provides stats that Nami can benefit from. |
![]() |
Ardent CenserArdent is really good when laning with a hyper carry like ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Staff of Flowing WaterStaff is the equivelent of Ardent but instead if you have an AP carry like ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
Mikael's BlessingExtremely good against heavy CC champions like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Zhonya's HourglassAn extremely nice option if they have champions like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Anathema's ChainsThis item is extremely useful against high burst melee champions like ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Mejai's SoulstealerIf you want to get Mejai's, make sure to buy an early ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Seraph's EmbraceThis item is generally unnecessary on Nami, as she only tends to have issues early game. If you are planning to build with less mana regen and you don't take ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Rabadon's DeathcapRabbadon is usually a good item for all enchanters as it provides a major boost of AP. The issue is it is extremely expensive and is also built really late into the game. It synergizes well with ![]() |
![]() |
Horizon FocusI believe this is a slightly odd item to suggest on Nami. Here's the thing tho, every time you slow/immobalize an enemy or hit R from Narnia, you apply it's buff. It goes extremely well if you are running ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Vision
![]() |
Control wardsAlways keep at least 1 ![]() |
![]() |
Oracle LensSimilar to the control wards, upon completion of your ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Vigilant WardstoneMainly purchased as a last item, the ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The End
Thank you for sticking around! Please don't hesitate to leave your feedback and let me know if there is something more I can add.
I'll eventually create an updated Janna guide as well as maybe Soraka guide somewhere in the close future. ♥
