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
終わりなき喜びラストヒットしたミニオンから得る経験値が増加する。また、周囲の味方の体力回復およびシールド効果を強化し、その味方と共有する。
Strong: SHARES XP and converts nearby heals/shields into her own. Weak: the sharing needs proximity — poke the duo apart.
Q
形なき刃鞭の刃を指定した方向に打ちつけ、直線上にいるすべての敵にダメージを与える。この攻撃が命中すると、少しの間だけ射程距離が増加する。
Strong: whip-blade cone with bonus range on cooldown-scaling crits. Weak: still melee-adjacent — classic range kiting starves it.
W
歓喜のヴェール霧に身を包み、移動速度が増加して、あらゆる通常攻撃を軽やかに回避する。また、霧の効果時間中に接触したすべての味方が、この効果を獲得する。
Strong: a blur that makes ALL attacks against her MISS. Weak: only attacks — spells hit through it; hold autos, cast spells.
E
流撃対象に向かって勢いよくダッシュし、その際に接触したすべての敵にダメージを与える。
Strong: repeated dashes through units keep her glued to you. Weak: needs dash targets — no minions around, no mobility.
R
アポテオシスあふれ出る喜びの中で鞭の刃を振り回し、周囲の敵にダメージを与えてから、自身の方向に引き寄せる。
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.
