FLOWING NAMI - COMPLETE GUIDE PATCH 14.7 - EN

Hi, I'm Protegod, and in this Tacter guide, I'll explain how to play Nami with the recent changes. I've named it "Flowing Nami" because the build revolves around the Flowing Water Staff, which is the core item for this setup. I'll explain how it works.

The first thing we need to know are the recent changes to Nami's W. To better understand this ability, I'll provide an image below explaining how it normally functions.

Nami's W can bounce to 3 targets, but each time it bounces, it loses effectiveness. For example, the ability heals for 150 and deals 200 damage initially, but each bounce reduces these numbers.

Remember that you can also use it on yourself.

Basically, now with more Ability Power (AP), Nami's bounce no longer loses healing and damage values. In fact, it INCREASES them. Now, buying flat AP with Nami is much better than before as she greatly benefits from it in her healing values. In the items section, I'll explain how to heal up to 1000 with a single W without losing utility at any point in the game.

Why not build Imperial Mandate if it still provides 60 AP, ability haste, and mana regeneration without losing damage?

• This build is not focused on damage. While Imperial Mandate remains a good item on Nami, when prioritizing utility, Staff of Flowing Water is the clear winner. It provides more stats that are better utilized and doesn't lose effectiveness at any point in the game.

Isn't Rabadon's Deathcap too expensive for a support to build?

• Yes, it is, but consider that most supports only reach the third completed item in almost every game. However, the two components of Rabadon's also provide a lot of AP, and buying just one doesn't sacrifice utility. While the completed Deathcap is excellent, having at least one of the two rods to complete it is a significant power spike, and even without finishing the item, you utilize the entire build-up process.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to build enchanter items like Ardent Censer, Athene's Unholy Grail, and Mikael's Blessing for shield power?

• Yes, it would be, but the power of healing and shielding without AP is subpar. Increasing a 200-heal by up to 50% with three items in between is not cost-effective. The strength of this Nami build lies in utilizing AP sources as the scaling is immense. With Staff of Flowing Water, Moonstone Renewer, and the Revitalize rune, you already have sufficient healing and shielding power. Therefore, you have the freedom to prioritize AP after obtaining these items without losing utility at any point in the game.
