Naafiri, the Hound of a Hundred Bites, is a melee assassin and fighter champion. In fights Naafiri is a fragile champion who deals physical damage in bursts, with healing in the kit. Here are the augments Naafiri players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Gain 15% Armor Penetration and Magic Penetration.
Darkin Daggers (Q), Eviscerate (E) and Hounds' Pursuit (R) all deal physical damage, so the armor penetration makes your burst combo hit harder against armored targets.
Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.
Darkin Daggers (Q), Eviscerate (E) and Hounds' Pursuit (R) can critically strike, adding extra burst to your physical damage ability combo.
Gain Deceive Summoner Spell. Deceive: You teleport and become Invisible. Your next Attack while Invisible deals additional physical damage. When you die, spawn an exploding box that deals a large amount of magic damage and Fear nearby enemies.
Deceive gives you an extra unseen gap closer to reach a target before Hounds' Pursuit (R), and your empowered attack sends your packmates through We Are More (passive) onto them.
