Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior poke and zone control with E-Q combos while Caitlyn provides follow-up damage.
- Post-6 your R gives significant burst potential, but Nami's R can counter-engage effectively if you're out of position.
Synergy & Trading
- Lead trades with E slow to guarantee Caitlyn's follow-up, then look for Q bindings on slowed targets.
- Save W for defensive purposes unless you can guarantee a kill, as the mana cost is prohibitive for trading.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid after successful recalls or when bot wave is pushing favorably, typically around levels 6-9.
- Look for roam timings when Nilah is low and forced to back, giving you a 2-3 minute window.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions for waveclear as it removes your primary threat tool for 11+ seconds.
- Avoid using E purely for poke without Caitlyn follow-up, as the mana costs will drain you quickly.
