Aurelion Sol vs Naafiri

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on farming safely to reach mid-late game scaling as your early agency is low.
Maintain medium lane pressure to limit Naafiri's poke and prevent easy (W) engages.
Use waveclear and poke to keep Naafiri at bay and deny her isolation setups.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing (E) followed by (Q) to force Naafiri's defensive cooldowns.
Respect (W) cooldown; only trade aggressively when it is down or after she misses (Q).
Avoid extended trades if Naafiri dodges your (Q) and (W), as your damage relies on landing these.

Danger windows

Beware when (Q) poke lowers your health and (W) engage is available without interruption.
Avoid isolated or low-health situations during Naafiri's active (R) window due to enhanced chase.
Punish Naafiri if she commits (W) into crowd control or if her (Q) poke misses, reducing her threat.

Early game

Use (E) into (Q) for poke and waveclear to safely farm and control wave.
Avoid all-ins before level 6 or core items to prevent getting punished by Naafiri's burst.
Keep wave on your side to reduce Naafiri's angles for (W) engage and limit her poke.

Power spikes

At 75+ star stacks, your upgraded (R) shifts fights in your favor; play for stable farm and safe resets.
Completing Rylai's boosts your chase and trade reliability; pressure waves and trades more confidently.
Naafiri's level 6 (R) and lethality item spike increase her all-in threat; respect these windows.

Win conditions

Survive early game farming and use (E) into (Q) to control wave and poke safely.
Deny (Q) poke and punish her when (W) is on cooldown or blocked.
Reach late game power spikes to leverage superior roaming and teamfight presence with upgraded (R) and Rylai's.
