Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q through minions to stun both enemies, then let Nilah follow up with her engage.
  • Your W provides sustain advantage in extended trades, making frequent poke exchanges favorable.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam frequently after level 3 when you have multiple chimes and good ward coverage.
  • Optimal timings are when your wave is pushing and Nilah can safely farm under tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use your ultimate reactively against Samira's combo as the delay allows her to complete her rotation.
  • Predict her engage patterns and use R proactively to disrupt her positioning.
