Who Wins
- You win pre-6 2v2s through range advantage and Karma's shield/poke support, making Nilah's engage attempts ineffective.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins if Nautilus lands Q, so maintain distance and use W defensively rather than aggressively.
Synergy & Trading
- Auto-attack Nilah whenever she goes for CS, then immediately W away if Nautilus shows Q threat.
- Your best trades come from E-auto combos when enemies are separated, avoiding Nilah's W damage reduction.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to keep minion advantage for trades, as fast pushing gives Nautilus roam opportunities you cannot match.
- Keep waves in center or slightly pushing to maintain your range advantage while avoiding ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never W aggressively into Nautilus Q range, as his hook will guarantee Nilah's full combo and likely your death.
- Avoid face-checking brushes or overextending for CS when Nautilus has engage tools available.
