Nilah: A Guide to playing with
Nilah is a unique melee ADC who thrives in chaos and rewards oportunistic and aggresive play.
Understanding Nilah's Kit
Nilah's kit blends mobility, sustain, and burst damage:
- Passive - Joy Unending: Nilah gains increased experience when last-hitting minions near allies and enhances healing/shielding from herself and allies, making her one of the most support-synergistic ADCs.
- Q - Formless Blade: Her bread-and-butter ability. It extends her auto-attacks, gives lifesteal-like sustain, and empowers her basic attacks after use. It's crucial to weave Q into every trade and fight.
- W - Jubilant Veil: A movement buff that grants her and a nearby ally dodge chance against basic attacks and briefly grants stealth. This is used for repositioning, engaging, or dodging key enemy autos.
- E - Slipstream: A targeted dash that lets Nilah move through enemies and chain dashes with resets. Use this aggressively to gap-close or defensively to escape.
- R - Apotheosis: A powerful AoE pull-and-damage ultimate that heals Nilah based on damage dealt. It's devastating when used in the center of teamfights, especially combined with crowd control from allies.
