Guide to Countering Sivir as Nami

Tips for Playing as Nami against Sivir

Nami's ultimate can come in very handy for initiating on enemies who are far away.

Using Ebb and Flow during an engagement with enemy champions will help sway the battle in your favor.

Aqua Prison has a long cooldown, make sure to use it at the right moment.

Advice to Win Against Sivir

When laning against Sivir, it is possible to throw off the timing of her Spell Shield by faking an advance, then backing off.

Sivir is a powerful pushing champion, so leaving her unattended in a lane for too long will often result in your turrets being destroyed.

Boomerang Blade costs a lot of mana to cast, so dodging it sets Sivir back. If it hits you on the way out, avoid its path on the way back.
