How to play Nami in ARAM Mayhem

Nami is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #90 of 173 champions, with a 49.4% win rate over 377,991 games. Few players take it (1.6% of games), so enemies will rarely know the matchup well.

88% of Nami's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down. It keeps its team alive with 11,091 healing on teammates in an average game; stay behind your frontline and save it for the fights that matter. It dies only 7.4 times per game on average, fewer than most.

The Support build, support items that heal and shield allies, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Moonstone Renewer, Ardent Censer and Whispering Circlet, with a 49.8% win rate over 209,130 games. For boots, Ionian Boots of Lucidity are both the most bought and the top-ranked pair.

The cards that do best on Nami are Windspeaker's Blessing, Shrink Engine and Infinite Recursion. Cards built around healing yourself fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability haste. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Infernal Soul and Mystic Punch when you can: they do worst on Nami. A pair to look for: Cruelty with Weapon of Destiny.

Take Flash and Heal (11% of players); Ghost is the common alternative. Max W (Ebb and Flow) first, then E, then Q.
