Developer Riot Games is back to pet the dog. The latest Assassin champion Naafiri shines in the gameplay spotlight that aims to bring players up to speed on her abilities, strengths and weaknesses. As the devs point out, her bite is much worse than her bark.
“An ancient Darkin with incredible power, Naafiri was destined to lead her kin until her ambitions were cut short, having been entombed within a blade and imprisoned in a crypt deep beneath the Shuriman sands. One fateful day centuries later, Naafiri was set free and bound to a new host – or hosts – the Dune Hounds. Where other Darkin have fought individually and suffered defeat, Naafiri embraced the strength that comes from her pack. What chance will the world have when the Darkin hunt as one?”
Naafiri Abilities Include:
- Passive – We Are More: spawns Packmates that attack the targets of her attacks and abilities.
- Q – Darkin Daggers: hurls up to two daggers, each inflicting bleed, or each inflicting bonus damage if the target is already bleeding. Packmates leap to attack champions hit by this skill.
- W – Hounds’ Pursuit: Naafiri and her packmates dash at an enemy, colliding with the first champion hit and dealing damage.
- E – Eviscerate: dashes and damages enemies in an area, recalling and healing her Packmates to full.
- R – The Call of the Pack: empowers her pack and spawns additional Packmates, gaining a burst of speed and vision and a shield when she attacks a champion. On first champion takedown, all effects are refreshed.
