Learn how to Nilah counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Bait her W (Jubilant Veil) before committing to trades — this ability has a 26-second cooldown at rank 1 and is her only defense against auto attacks.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Be aware that Nilah reaches level 6 before you due to her passive — back off when both of you are level 5 to avoid her ultimate power spike.
Basic Lane Phase
Poke Nilah with abilities rather than auto attacks when her W is active — it dodges basic attacks but only reduces magic damage by 25%.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Keep the wave closer to your tower early game — this protects you from her all-ins and makes her vulnerable to ganks due to her aggressive melee playstyle.
Basic Lane Phase
Focus Nilah with CC at the start of team fights — this prevents her from repositioning with E and maximizing her ultimate's effectiveness.
Advanced Team Fight
Track her E (Slipstream) charges — she's most vulnerable when both are on cooldown, with a 26-second recharge time at rank 1.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Punish Nilah when she misses her Q — without hitting enemies, she doesn't gain the empowered state that extends her attack range by 125 units.
Lane Phase
Position at a safe distance when Nilah uses her ultimate — the final burst pulls enemies 250 units toward her and sets up follow-up attacks.
