Introduction

Unlike Janna, where the Sacred Sword skin is mandatory, you can use any skin you want when playing Piranha Nami. However, be aware that if you don't use Deep Sea Nami, you won't be anything more than an inferior B-tier surface Piranha that will never achieve their aspirations of ruling the jungle and seas.

Pros / Cons

Pros

+ Excels at skirmishes and teamfighting
+ Provides damage, heal, CC, and tank
+ You get fresh seafood from your bountiful hunt
+ None can escape the Piranha

Cons

- Not as strong 1v1 as Janna
- Very mana heavy playstyle
- You're weak when away from the river
- You can't clear raptors because birds eat fish

Runes

Marks

Greater Mark of Attack Speed: You can bite your victims faster.

Seals

Greater Seal of Scaling Health: You grow up to be a big and strong fish.

Glyphs

Greater Glyph of Ability Power: The more AP you have, the better your water quality. Good water is essential for a growing fish. These glyphs upgrade your water quality from Flint, Michigan tap water to Kirkland signature purified drinking water™.

Quints

Greater Quintessence of Armor: Extra reinforcement for your fish scales.

Quints

Greater Quintessence of Ability Power: These quints will upgrade your Kirkland signature purified drinking water™ to Arrowhead® Brand Mountain Spring Water.

Masteries

Spells

: Your first summoner spell ~~is the chidori~~ calls down a bolt of lightning from the sky, be careful when using this because all the water you have conducts electricity. Try to save it for scuttle crab, in which case you unleash a murder-suicide technique that kills everything in the river. Use as a last resort.

: In the rare case that an enemy has not been hypnotized by your terrifying beauty, just keep swimming and use this lucky fin to smack their ***** face. The only acceptable defensive use of this spell is to escape by diving into the river. Using it on dry land is asking to be turned into succulent sashimi.

: Teleport is the only other suitable replacement for lucky fin. The most important part about playing Piranha is establishing dominance in your territory, which, as a fully grown queen, is the entire rift. Make sure the enemy team knows that they are never safe and death can come in the blink of an eye.

As with most ultimates, take a point in whenever you can and use it to cool off your hot and sweaty teammates. Max first because you, as royalty, have the right to jail whoever you want. Next max because watching four people spitting water back and forth like some sort of water fountain is kinky as ****. Max last because the water balloons you get from the ability don't do a lot of damage.

Items

Underwater Uggs
You can't chomp on people while you're CC'd, so the tenacity from these is good. They also match your tail.

Self-immolation
Set yourself on fire for the rest of the game. It doesn't actually hurt you because of your wet, fishy aura, but the enemy team are in for a nasty surprise when they try to feel your cool, smooth scales. You have to get up close to bite them anyway so it's gucci.

Blessing of the holy Piranha
Fills your teammates with religious fervor, making them attack faster in the name of god (which is you). This is completely different from the sketchy **** that wind girl gives her teammates.

Water Attunement
Attune to water, granting increased healing power and access to ice spells. Rule your kingdom with this iron fist.

Knight of Owner
Lancelot's noble phantasm, whatever you touch becomes metal as **** and fights for you if anyone challenges your honor. Don't be mistaken, your knight's the ***** who has to follow you, not the other way around.

Camouflage
If anyone tries to hunt you down just lay on the grass and hold still. It also helps you heal and come back faster, like algae on a rock.
