Liandry's Nami build with runes and items. Liandry's Nami guide offers in-depth how-to play, skill order and tips. Play Liandry's Nami build in League of Legends Patch 25.05!
Playing Liandry's Nami build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item
Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
In some rare cases, when an enemy team has an extremely strong shielding, you can even buy Serpent's Fang. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!
Champion
Max Ebb and Flow (W) first, then Tidecaller's Blessing (E) or Aqua Prison (Q). E is safer, but offers less damage. Q is riskier, needs you to actively try in fights to hit targets, but it deals more damage and has less cooldown.
Tips and Tricks
Champion
Your all abilities trigger your Surging Tides (Passive). You can use Aqua Prison (Q) to speed your allies up.
Aqua Prison (Q) is not the easiest skill shot to land. Slow enemies with your Tidecaller's Blessing (E) first to make it more likely to hit!
You can use Tidecaller's Blessing (E) mid-flight, and it is still going to trigger. I.e., you (or your ally) start auto attacking without a buff, projectile is in flight, you buff, and it is going to trigger, consuming one stack and dealing damage. Surprise!
Riot
Aqua Prison has a long cooldown, make sure to use it at the right moment.
Using Ebb and Flow during an engagement with enemy champions will help sway the battle in your favor.
Nami's ultimate can come in very handy for initiating on enemies who are far away.
