Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range with Xerath and your W threat zone controlling Nilah's engage attempts.
- Post-6 remains favorable as your W can instantly remove either carry from fights, though their combined ultimates create dangerous all-in windows.
Synergy & Trading
- Stack passive on whoever Xerath hits with Q, then look for W devour when they're slowed and can't escape your range.
- Coordinate with Xerath's E stun to guarantee your W connection on priority targets.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid or jungle when the wave is pushed and both enemies are low, as your W provides guaranteed pick potential.
- Optimal timing is levels 4-5 before their power spike, or after successful recalls when you have item advantages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W on minions or use it defensively unless absolutely necessary, as it's your primary tool for punishing their engages.
- Avoid face-checking brushes when both enemies are missing, as Nilah E + Vayne R can burst you before W becomes available.
