How to play as Naafiri

Avoid starting a direct all-in into Shyvana's Dragon's Descent(R); let the transformation leap and fear pass, then look for a new angle while her dragon-form pressure is pointed elsewhere.

Don't spend both daggers while Shyvana's Inferno Aegis(W) shield and movement speed are active; wait out the shield window or use your dash to disengage and reset the trade.

Shyvana's Dragon's Descent(R) makes enemies in its path flee and empowers her area damage, which can break up Naafiri's close-range follow-up when her pack is committed.
