Tips

Earthwake and Blade Waltz work well together for assassins with dashes such as Naafiri.³
Vanish and Jeweled Gauntlet can let Naafiri stealth up to an enemy carry, kill them, then use her ultimate to kill another enemy.⁴

Interactions

Naafiri's R can be channeled in stealth without breaking stealth.⁵
With an upgraded Now You See Me, Naafiri has many dogs because they all get Packmates too.⁶
