Recommended build for Nami support: items, runes and skill order

Nami' s strength lies in her usefulness. Her skill set is not lacking in resources: speed bonus, damage bonus, slowdown, stun, heal... But as it's better to have too much than too little, the Nami support Wild Rift build seeks to give her even more possibilities. Of course, you will never have the power of a mage or the damage of an assassin, but you will have multiple options to make the difference in lane as well as in teamfight.
Remember that this support character is very pleasant to play and is also part of our Tier List of the best supports in the game.

What build for Nami support Wild Rift?

• Must-have items: To fulfill your role as a utility support, the triplet Harmonious Echo (more healing), Burning Censer (more damage) and Knight's Vow (shield) is essential. The order doesn't matter, but it seems hard to pass up these three items.
• Boots : The Boots of Lucidity are the best statistical addition to Nami. They give her the opportunity to cast her buff and debuff skills more often. Several enchantments are possible but we have a soft spot for theShadow enchantment , which is as useful offensively as it is defensively.
• Situational items: Nami has a lot of choices for her last two slots and has to adapt to her opponents' compositions. Athene's Unholy Grail and Rylai's Sceptre are sure values that always find their use. And let's face it, between support hands... a little power never hurts! The other solution is to make a tanky Nami with an Adaptive Helmet and a Randuin Omen.

What runes for Nami support Wild Rift?

• Main Rune: It's hard to beat the Aery rune. Nami likes to dominate her lane phase and this rune gives her an extra advantage to poke her enemies but also protect her duo.
• Secondary Runes: Weakness (bonus damage on hindered targets) and Loyalty (bonus resistance in duo) are obvious choices, which fit very well in the gameplay of Nami support. For the last rune, there are several possibilities. For our part, we're leaning more towards the Maquis rune to get around the map faster.

Which skills should be improved first?

The classic order of skills to increase in priority for Nami is as follows: ebb and flow > Blessing of the Aquamancian > Water Prison. This last skill is quite useful, but doesn't gain much power with the ranks.

How to use Nami's skills in support?

Breakers (passive)	A passive that does good service by increasing the movement speed of your allies affected by your skills.
Water prison	Nami throws a water bubble that traps all enemies in the impact zone for 1.5 seconds. They are thrown into the air and stunned.
ebb and flow	A multi-tasking skill that bounces up to 3 times on nearby allied and enemy champions. It heals friends, but wounds enemies.
Blessing of the aquamancian	Improves the next 3 basic attacks of an allied champion. They deal bonus damage and slow down targets. Can be cast on itself.
Rising tide (final)	Nami throws a giant tsunami in a straight line in front of her. It hurts the enemies in its path while throwing them into the air and then slowing them down.

As all of Nami's skills are doubly useful, thanks to her Breakthrough passive, it is tempting to loop her spells in the lane phase. This passive is as valuable for running away as it is for chasing enemies. However, the aquamancian can quickly run out of mana, so her gauge must be watched. Ebb and flow is her most useful skill due to its ambivalence (damage/care). To maximise use, however, make sure the spell can bounce off at least one target! It is also a good way to hit an enemy or ally out of range by taking advantage of the bounce.

Blessing of the Aquamancian is a very strong skill to boost your ADC. But if you are not confident when aiming or want to go fast, click the skill once to boost yourself. As the saying goes, you'd better do it yourself!

Finally, a good Nami manages to chain Razor Tide and then Water Prison (also works in reverse order). This CC rotation renders your enemies harmless for several seconds, providing a golden opening for the rest of your team.

With which champion should a good synergy be set up?

Everyone can dream of having a Nami Support in their team. Because of her utility profile, she has a synergy with many champions. Strong in the lane, she is also always useful in teamfights. She is an ideal partner for Vayne , who suffers a bit at the beginning of the game. Draven also takes full advantage of this support to crush his match-up. Finally, Varus and Ashe can enter the CC rotation with their ultimate skill to further pin your victims to the ground.

Counter de Nami support Wild Rift: who should we watch out for?

Nami doesn't really have a counter and in the worst case, has faced a neutral match-up in duolan. However, you have to watch out for the mischievous players of Blitzcrankwho will be happy to serve you sushi. Nami remains a fragile character and any risk taken can be paid for in cash. More generally, Nami's crowd control will do nothing against a Olaf enraged. It is therefore best to avoid him if he shows up in the draft phase.

Advanced tips and tricks for playing Nami support Wild Rift

Nami has the advantage of being a powerful champion but also simple to play. She is the ideal character for those looking for a support pick. However, be careful not to get too caught up in theAquamancian Vastaya's Aqueous Prison . The skill is really not easy to place. So don't hesitate to wait until your target is hindered by your other skills or by one of your allies. There is no shame in going with the flow rather than engaging it. In your adventures, you'll also probably come across some smart guys who play Nami full AP, like a mage. We tested her out of curiosity, and we don't recommend going down this route. The champion has limited damage potential and does much better when following the utility path. 😎
