Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Lux's superior range and poke potential combined with Caitlyn's headshot pressure.
- Post-6 becomes more even as your R provides strong counter-engage and disengage tools.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W bounces to sustain through poke, then look for Q setups when enemies are slowed or out of position.
- Focus on empowering Nilah with E when she commits to trades rather than trying to poke independently.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid or river for vision control when Nilah is safely farming under tower, typically after level 6.
- Avoid roaming when enemies have strong push advantage as Nilah cannot farm safely alone.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q trying to engage from max range as it's easily dodged by mobile champions.
- Avoid using W purely for poke as the mana costs are too high and you need it for sustain.
