Fiddlesticks
Fiddles fear counters your W, so you can mostly never W in. You have no way to stop his drain, and he will drain both you and your pack for lots of healing, which will undo the bleeding you may try to poke him with. Overall, avoid, go around, and try to kill everyone else first

Champion Build Guide
Champion Identity
Naafiri is very akin to Evelynn and Nocturne, in the sense that you want to all-in with your abilities, and then you have ways to trickle out the last bit of damage to finish off targets, while also being capable of jungle warfare, with Q poke and the pack being able to bully and self-peel targets.
While you don't have stealth and executes on your abilities, what you do have is a lot more utility and mobility, especially when itemizing properly and taking advantage of the pack.

Why Play Naafiri
Pros
-
- Reverse Nocturne ult, allows for going for picks while protecting you from counter-ganks and traps the enemy team may try to bait you into.
- Want to burst squishys but also want to shred through tanks stacking armor? Why not both! Naafiri's has amazing synergy with Black Cleaver and she's the best utilizer of Serylda's Grudge (aside from ezreal), while scaling insanely well with AD and utilizing ability haste very well.
- Frustrated with getting poked down by skillshot poke champs? Look no further than the pack that will "protect the president", tanking and respawning to tank more.
- You know everything you need to get you started and looking like a Naafiri pro because you're reading this guide <3
Itemization Synergies
It's important to know what items work on Naafiri, especially with her pack, and what items not so much:
DO:
Black Cleaver - every instance of pack attacking grants a stack! One Q will likely stack BC fully in 1s if pack is alive
Serylda's Grudge - pack attacks will reapply the slow, Q bleed will also apply slow during the bleed
DON'T:
crit items - pack cannot crit, so going anything crit is not strong (sorry)
"attack" or "next attack" in items - pack attacks don't count as auto attacks, you would have to aa with Naafiri herself to apply such effects, which isn't consistently safe or as reliable as other types of effects
Blade of the Ruined King - this has the same rule as "attack", so the pack won't help you stack BorK (unfortunately)
"attack speed" items - although attack speed does scale up the pack's attack speed as well (1:1 ratio), generally attack speed items' abilities and procs are on "attack" and don't synergize with the rest of Naafiri's kit that well (stridebreaker for example scales with base AD, not bonus).
