How to beat Nilah

Common role: ADC

A melee ADC whose whip blades and joy turn 2v2s into massacres.

What makes Nilah dangerous

Nilah is a melee marksman: her passive SHARES healing and XP with allies, W blurs her dodging ALL attacks, E dashes through targets repeatedly, and her ultimate whirlpools everyone in range with heavy damage and healing. In extended 2v2s she out-sustains everything.

How to play against Nilah

• 1Don't auto-attack during her W blur — every attack misses; use spells.
• 2Poke from range: melee-range ADC suffers into long lanes.
• 3Disengage the ult whirlpool — its pull and healing decide extended fights.
• 4Anti-heal cuts her and her duo's shared sustain.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Melee range — poke lanes starve her.
• ✓W dodges autos but not spells.
• ✓Needs extended fights — burst deletes her first.
• ✓E needs targets — no minions, no mobility.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Nilah's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Joie éternelle

  Nilah gagne plus d'expérience quand elle tue des sbires. De plus, elle renforce et partage les soins et boucliers des alliés proches.

  Strong: SHARES XP and converts nearby heals/shields into her own. Weak: the sharing needs proximity — poke the duo apart.

• Q
  Lame fluide

  Nilah donne un coup de lame-fouet dans la direction choisie, infligeant des dégâts aux ennemis sur une ligne droite. Cela augmente sa portée d'attaque pendant un court instant.

  Strong: whip-blade cone with bonus range on cooldown-scaling crits. Weak: still melee-adjacent — classic range kiting starves it.

• W
  Voile de liesse

  Nilah s'enveloppe de brume, ce qui augmente sa vitesse de déplacement et lui permet d'esquiver avec grâce toutes les attaques. Tout allié qu'elle touche pendant la durée de la brume gagne aussi cet effet.

  Strong: a blur that makes ALL attacks against her MISS. Weak: only attacks — spells hit through it; hold autos, cast spells.

• E
  Torrent

  Nilah se rue avec enthousiasme vers sa cible, infligeant des dégâts aux ennemis sur son chemin.

  Strong: repeated dashes through units keep her glued to you. Weak: needs dash targets — no minions around, no mobility.

• R
  Apothéose

  Faisant gaiement tournoyer sa lame-fouet, Nilah inflige des dégâts aux ennemis qui l'entourent avant de les attirer vers elle.

  Strong: a whirlpool PULL with big damage and shared healing. Weak: the pull radius is fixed — dash out on the wind-up.

Itemization

Range and spell damage: her W laughs at autos only. Anti-heal both her and the enchanter she drags along.
