The Hecarim versus Naafiri matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Hecarim deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Naafiri deals mainly physical damage (90.31%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
