Guide to Countering Nami as Lee Sin

Tips for Playing as Lee Sin against Nami

Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.

Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).

Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.

Advice to Win Against Nami

Aqua Prison is a very powerful ability with a long cooldown, take advantage of the situation if Nami misses this ability.

Tidal Wave has a very long range but travels slowly, be aware of when it is coming your way as you can move out of its path.

Try to avoid fighting an opponent affected by Tidecaller's Blessing, it lasts a short duration so waiting it out can help you greatly.
