How to beat Nani

• Change your distance to her. Her orbs only hit fully at one specific range.
• Dive her while she flies Peep. She is vulnerable when steering the drone.
• Hide behind walls she cannot easily steer Peep around.

Common mistake: Standing still while Peep flies at you. It is easy to dodge with one step to the side.

Game plan

Nani fires three orbs in a diamond pattern that converge at a set range, so her damage depends on the distance. Her Super launches Peep, a drone she steers by hand into enemies for massive damage. She is a high-skill sniper with a remote-controlled finisher.

1. Fight at the range where your orbs converge. That is the only distance where all three hit together.
2. Steer Peep around walls and into hiding targets. It is a guided missile, so use the angles.
3. Stay safe while flying Peep. You cannot move freely while steering it.

Drafting Nani

When to pick

Pick Nani in Knockout and Bounty on maps with medium walls.

Who to pair with

Pair her with a tank or support who protects her while she steers Peep.

Ban or not

Rarely worth a ban. Assassins that reach her while she steers Peep are the answer.
