Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 with superior range and poke damage, forcing both short-range carries into unfavorable positions.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as their combined ultimates can gap-close through your range advantage, requiring perfect positioning.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke whenever they step up for CS, immediately following with E if they try to engage through the slow.
- Coordinate your E stun with Tahm's W devour for guaranteed picks on overextended targets.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid with ultimate when the wave is pushed and you have vision control, as your R provides global pressure.
- Best timing is levels 6-8 when your ultimate has maximum impact before enemy carries get defensive items.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E defensively unless you're certain of the stun, as missing it leaves you completely vulnerable to their all-in potential.
- Avoid standing too close to Tahm as Nilah E can gap-close onto both of you simultaneously.
