Orianna vs Naafiri

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Orianna is a control mage with medium lane pressure who must manage ball position to zone Naafiri and avoid her all-ins.
Focus on denying Naafiri safe poke and all-in windows by controlling the wave and respecting her mobility and engage tools.

Trading pattern

Trade by placing the ball aggressively to zone and poke, then shield or speed yourself with E and W to survive return damage.
Punish Naafiri if she wastes W or engages without Q poke applied.
Avoid trading when Naafiri's Q bleed or R pack is active and she is ready to all-in.

Danger windows

Naafiri is most dangerous when her Q poke has lowered your health and her W engage is unblocked.
Avoid extended trades during Naafiri's R active window as she gains chase and burst.
Be cautious if Naafiri commits W into your crowd control or shield cooldowns are down.

Early game

Use Q and W to poke and keep Naafiri at range, avoiding extended trades before level 6.
Shield with E to mitigate burst when Naafiri commits with W.
Avoid overusing abilities early to maintain mana and ball position for defense.

Power spikes

Respect Naafiri's level 6 R for enhanced all-in pressure and chase potential.
Orianna's level 6 R is a major teamfight and all-in deterrent.
Orianna's first completed mage item significantly increases her poke and shield strength.

Win conditions

Control the lane by using ball placement to zone Naafiri and deny her poke and engage windows.
Punish Naafiri's W commits by shielding and counterattacking when she is vulnerable.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to leverage R for teamfights and force Naafiri to respect your threat.

Tip: For Orianna vs Naafiri, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
