Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Nautilus's hook threat, but lose post-6 all-ins due to Nilah's R damage and mobility.
- Nilah's level 6 spike with ultimate gives her kill pressure that your range advantage cannot safely counter.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to root enemies caught by Nautilus Q, then follow with Q bounce damage and fourth shot execution.
- Space aggressively with fourth shot when Nautilus has hook available, as the root setup guarantees your damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves to establish range advantage and deny Nilah farm, but avoid overextending past river without vision.
- Freeze when ahead to force Nilah into dangerous positions for CS, as she cannot safely break freezes against your range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W without Nautilus engage threat, as it's your only self-peel against Nilah's gap closers.
- Avoid trading when your fourth shot isn't ready, as Nilah can easily engage during your reload window.
