Twisted Fate vs Naafiri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Twisted Fate aims to control the wave and hold Gold Card threat to create pick opportunities and roam pressure.
Manage lane priority to deny Naafiri safe poke and prevent her from committing W without punishment.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Gold Card is ready to punish Naafiri's committed W engage.
Use Q poke to pressure before Naafiri can safely dash in with W.
Respect Naafiri's Q poke and avoid trading if it has not landed to reduce all-in threat.

Danger windows

Naafiri is dangerous when her Q poke has landed and W is available for a committed engage.
Avoid trading or roaming when Gold Card is down to reduce vulnerability to Naafiri's all-in.
Be cautious when Naafiri's R is active as her pack increases chase and burst potential.

Early game

Use Q to clear waves and maintain range to avoid Naafiri's poke and W engage.
Avoid extended duels early; wait for Gold Card to threaten short trades or punish Naafiri's W cooldown.
Keep the wave controlled to enable safe roams after level 6.

Power spikes

Twisted Fate's major spike is level 6 R for map pressure and pick setups.
Naafiri's major spike is level 6 R which empowers her all-in and chase potential.
Both champions spike with their first completed core item, increasing threat in trades.

Win conditions

Win by maintaining wave control and holding Gold Card to punish Naafiri's W engages.
Use R to create side-lane numbers advantage and snowball through picks.
Deny Naafiri safe poke windows and punish her if she commits W into your crowd control or Gold Card range.

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