Playing as Nilah

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Jubilant Veil against their trade

    Cast Jubilant Veil (W) when the enemy ADC starts a trade: you dodge their autos, and each ally you touch gains the same effect.

  2. Last-hit minions yourself

    Last-hit minions yourself: Joy Unending (passive) gives you more XP when you're the one who kills them.

  3. Extend your range before your autos

    Hit an enemy, minions included, with Formless Blade (Q) before your autos: you gain range and attack speed, and your autos hit in a cone.

  4. Stick to your target with Slipstream

    Use Slipstream (E) to reach your target: the dash goes through a unit, minions included, and damages enemies in its path.

  5. Apotheosis on a group

    Cast Apotheosis (R) when your support has grouped enemies around you: the final strike pulls them toward you, and the spell heals you and nearby allies.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Get out of his cloud fast

    Get out of the Venom Cask (W) cloud fast: it slows you and adds a Deadly Venom stack every second, which powers up his Contaminate (E).

  2. Ward against his ambush

    Ward your brushes and place a Control Ward on his paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, and Ambush (Q) lets him reach you unseen.

  3. Focus him as soon as he appears

    As soon as he comes out of the Ambush (Q) camouflage, focus him with your allies: he's fragile and has no dash to escape.

  4. Leave his range during his ult

    During Spray and Pray (R), get out of his extended range until the effect ends: his bolts pierce every enemy, so hiding behind an ally won't protect you.
