How to play as Naafiri

Avoid face-checking brush when Rengar is missing; hold The Call of the Pack(W) for his committed leap so you can dodge its opening burst, then use E to leave the brush edge.

When Thrill of the Hunt(R) reveals you, move toward a warded route or teammates instead of retreating through nearby brush, where Rengar can keep chaining leaps.

Rengar can leap from brush with his passive and use Thrill of the Hunt(R) to reveal a nearby target and leap without brush, so Naafiri's dash and pack do not make an untracked approach safe.
