Nami Support guide
Nami support is a bubble-first engage-and-peel support built around Aqua Prison (Q), Ebb and Flow (W), and Tidecaller's Blessing (E): land Aqua Prison to damage and stun every enemy caught in it, lean on Ebb and Flow bouncing between allies and enemies to heal and damage while waiting for the next window, and empower whoever is committing with Tidecaller's Blessing for bonus magic damage and a slow.
The build
Rune page: Summon Aery, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Revitalize and Bone Plating (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Heal. Skill order opens Ebb and Flow (W) at level 1, then maxes Ebb and Flow (W) first with Tidecaller's Blessing (E) second. Starter: two Health Potions, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Imperial Mandate, Moonstone Renewer, Ardent Censer, with Dream Maker, Echoes of Helia, and Redemption as later options.
Ability mechanics
Aqua Prison (Q) sends a bubble to a target area, dealing damage and stunning all enemies on impact. Ebb and Flow (W) unleashes a stream of water that bounces back and forth between allied and enemy champions, healing allies and damaging enemies. Tidecaller's Blessing (E) empowers an allied champion so their basic attacks and spells deal bonus magic damage and slow the target. Tidal Wave (R) knocks up, slows, and damages enemies, and allies it hits gain double the Move Speed of Surging Tides (passive).
Matchups
Hardest matchups by win rate: Leona, Thresh, Senna, Nautilus, Seraphine. Best matchups: Karma, Milio, Lulu.
