How to play against Nilah

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Punish her short range before level six by hitting her when she walks up for minions.
2. Disengage when W is active, then trade after the dodge window ends.
3. Spread in river skirmishes so her ult cannot pull multiple teammates together.
4. Force her to cross vision before objectives; she is far easier to stop before she reaches melee range.
5. Peel the first dash target and kite backward until W and ult are down.

Where Nilah is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Nilah's marksman damage is tied to melee range, making poke, disengage, and spacing unusually punishing.
• Her teamfight value depends on surviving inside clustered enemies, so layered crowd control can stop her reset pattern.
