How to play Naafiri in ARAM Mayhem

Naafiri is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #163 of 173 champions, with a 45.7% win rate over 685,365 games. Riot rates it 2/10 for difficulty: easy to pick up when it lands on your bench.

87% of Naafiri's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. It brings almost no crowd control, so it relies on teammates to set up kills.

Most Naafiri players go Lethality (71% of games), but the Bruiser path, bruiser items that mix damage and health, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Hubris, Death's Dance and Endless Hunger, with a 47.4% win rate. On this build 50% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Naafiri are Weapon of Destiny, Hand of Baron and The Boom and the Bass. Cards built around ability power fill most of the top of its list, followed by attack damage. Skip Pressure Cooker and Overloaded when you can: they do worst on Naafiri. A pair to look for: Weapon of Destiny with Take'em Down Down Down.

Take Flash and Mark (95% of players). Max Q (Darkin Daggers) first, then E, then W.
