W (Jubilant Veil) dodges autos in the zone and shares it with nearby allies — activate it during the enemy ADC's trade.

The passive gives bonus XP when sharing with an ally — you reach level 6 before the opposing lane, abuse it.

R (Apotheosis) pulls and damages nearby enemies — combine it with your support's engage for AoE burst.

Nilah is melee: play with an engage support (Nautilus, Leona) who lets you gap-close to auto.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Nilah's W blocks autos — switch to abilities or wait for the zone to expire.

Poke her at range: as a melee ADC, she's weak against ranged harassment.

Watch out for her XP advantage: she can hit level 6 before you and all-in with R.

Mage supports (Brand, Zyra) counter her because they don't rely on the autos that her W blocks.
