Synergy & Trading

  • Land hooks when Bard is positioned aggressively for poke, then immediately follow with flay and lantern for Samira.
  • Focus on quick burst windows rather than extended fights where Nilah excels.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam after shoving waves when Bard leaves lane, typically around levels 4-6.
  • Time roams when your ADC can safely farm under tower and enemy bot lane is pushed in.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your hook on Nilah when she has minions nearby as her dash makes her extremely mobile.
  • Missing hook against this duo leaves you completely exposed to their engage potential.
