Nami Item Build

SUPPORT LOADOUT · NAMI

Nami supports by reaching allies with her spells, since Surging Tides speeds up any ally her abilities hit and Ebb and Flow heals friends while damaging foes in one bouncing stream. The main build leans into that with Ardent Censer and Innervating Locket.

This is the primary Nami support for the bot lane, built to empower her carry. Ardent Censer adds attack speed to allies she heals or shields, which pairs with Ebb and Flow (W) and Tidecaller's Blessing (E). Innervating Locket heals the lowest health ally each time she casts. Shurelya's Reverie and Twin Shadows add a team speed boost and slowing ghosts for engages and escapes, while Ruby Sightstone handles vision.

Support Nami Build

Support

Nami's job in this build is to make her carry hit harder, and Ardent Censer is the first big buy because any heal or shield she puts on another unit grants them attack speed.

Ebb and Flow is the spell that triggers it most often, since the stream heals allies as it bounces, which is why it takes the first max. Tidecaller's Blessing ranks second, so your carry's empowered attacks also slow whatever they hit.

Ruby Sightstone follows to keep the lane and river warded, and once Shurelya's Reverie lands, its active speeds up every nearby ally for an engage or an escape. Twin Shadows then adds slowing ghosts that hunt the two nearest enemy champions, while Innervating Locket closes the core by healing your lowest health ally whenever you cast.

AP Nami Build

AP
This Nami support builds the economy items first and spends the gold on healing power later.

Philosopher's Stone, Lucky Pick and Heart of Gold build gold and sustain without last hits, and Sightstone covers early vision. Ardent Censer finishes the core with ability power, cooldown reduction and attack speed for the allies she heals. A utility heavy mastery page and gold quints suit a support who wants items quickly.

AP Tank Nami Build

AP Tank
This Nami support splits the difference between economy and team actives.

Philosopher's Stone covers early gold and regeneration, then Ardent Censer adds attack speed to allies she heals. Shard of True Ice adds a slowing blizzard around an ally, and Shurelya's Reverie adds a team speed boost. Ruby Sightstone gives a large ward supply.
