General

 * A very strong combination on Naga Siren is and . This makes Naga an incredibly versatile pusher, and Linkens makes it nigh impossible to catch her off-guard while pushing, allowing for an easy Song of Siren escape. Another item worth mentioning is . Slithice's illusions carry the Radiance aura, allowing farming over large areas and greater combat presence.
 * Although not mentioned and highly irregular, an may be considered in the latest stages of the game as the 25% cooldown reduction is very handy considering how long the cooldowns of her spells are normally. The life steal effect also works with the burn damage from  if equipped.
 * Naga Siren can push with impunity; Rip Tide can affect entire creep waves, Mirror Image's illusions can deal tremendous damage to towers, and Song of the Siren makes it very difficult for the enemy team to gank her even if overextended.


 * Mirror Image's period of invulnerability is very short, but can allow Naga Siren to dodge many spells. Some easier examples (due to slow projectile speed) include 's and 's.
 * Note that none of the auras from will affect illusions from Mirror Image.
 * Combined with Rip Tide and items, the illusions generated by Mirror Image can greatly enhance Naga Sirens's farm, allowing her to take two camps at once during the early game, and eventually three to four from mid to late game.

operties in mind. Its major downside is that Ensnare only prevents movement, and does not stop enemies from fighting back with attacks and spells.

 * Ensnare can be applied to targets with Spell Immunity, most notably holders of.
 * Ensnare will interrupt channeling abilities such as Witch Doctor's.
 * Heroes with invisibility such as, and  should be prime targets of Ensnare, as they will be revealed for its duration.
 * Ensnare will also prevent the usage of teleportation such as 's.
 * Ensnare can also be used to snare the, preventing it from moving allowing for an easy kill.


 * Rip Tide's damage and armor reduction mean that Naga Siren can hit hard even in the early game, and is more than viable to level first. Even when fully leveled, its instant damage is very low, however. Its most important attribute is ultimately armor reduction, which can multiply the physical damage that is dealt.
 * Rip Tide will affect targets around Naga's Mirror Images and other illusions. Illusions can be used to engage for Naga, due to their expendable nature.


 * Song of the Siren is often used to make another initiator's job much easier, as it gives them time to position themselves while your targets are stunned.
 * It is possible for you to rudely interrupt your teammates' momentum when using this ability for your own sake. Avoid using it as an extra team-fight disable when your teammates already have the upper hand disabling the enemy, as it wastes their abilities by completely making their targets invulnerable. Opt for using Ensnare as a disable instead.
 * When a crucial escape is necessary (i.e. when losing a team fight), use this ability to impede your pursuers. Any opposing target who approaches you will be stopped in their tracks, making for a smoother exit.
 * In a bad situation, You can use a during Song of the Siren, or you walk away for a smooth escape.
 * The interaction between Song of the Siren and an opposing is important. BKB can help enemies avoid being locked down by Song, but it may also make that enemy vulnerable in a teamfight by allowing Naga's team to focus on one target without backup, especially when combined with Ensnare. Enemies should try to activate their BKBs together or take special care in their positioning to reduce this danger.
