Playing as Nilah
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- Last-hit minions yourself
Last-hit minions yourself: Joy Unending (passive) gives you more XP when you're the one who kills them.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
