Who Wins
- Nilah + Xerath win pre-6 due to Xerath's poke range and Nilah's Q mobility for trades, but you gain kill pressure post-6 with R stealth and Tahm's W devour combos.
- The matchup shifts heavily in your favor once you have ultimate for repositioning and stealth resets.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to reposition after Tahm lands Q, then auto-E-auto for W proc while Tahm follows up with additional CC.
- Focus on short trades when Nilah uses Q aggressively, as she'll be extended and vulnerable to your E condemn into wall.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Let them push early since Xerath will naturally poke and shove, then freeze near your tower where Tahm can set up ganks.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you have a significant health advantage, as Xerath excels at punishing you under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight extended trades pre-6 without Tahm's W available, as Nilah's sustain and Xerath's damage will overwhelm you.
- Don't use Q aggressively for CS when Xerath has abilities up, as you'll take free poke without trading back effectively.
