The Ultimate Nilah Guide - Tips, Builds & Counters for 2024
Her W blocks auto-attacks and enhanced auto-attack abilities, including abilities like Twisted Fate's W. The Passive helps gain XP advantages over enemy laners, enabling earlier power spikes.
Nilah's E provides 2 dashes, perfect for quick engagement and disengagement in skirmishes. However, when E is on cooldown, she becomes vulnerable to lockdown and can't play aggressively.
For maximum Ultimate effectiveness, team coordination is crucial. Like most champions, falling behind significantly impacts her performance.
Early Game Strategy:
- Focus on short trades using auto-attacks
- Avoid extended trades unless enemy abilities are on cooldown
- Play conservatively in early levels
- Wait for level power spikes before engaging
Mid Game Approach:
- Rotate to mid after taking bottom tower
- Avoid constant ADC positioning
- Stay away from CC-heavy champions
- Use Ultimate opportunistically with team support
- Farm side lanes efficiently while staying near team
Late Game Tactics:
- Utilize Ultimate frequently due to short cooldown
- Maintain mobile positioning in team fights
- Stay with Support
- Avoid solo map movements
