r/NilahMains

After playing Nilah for a while, I’ve realized just how important attack speed is on her.

That’s why I always buy Yun Tal as my first item, since she benefits massively from the additional attack speed.

After that, I used to always go Infinity Edge, followed by Mortal Reminder and then Shieldbow.

However, I’ve been experimenting a bit, and I actually think going both Death’s Dance and Maw of Malmortius, is much better when the enemy team has a balanced mix of AD and AP damage. You get way better sustain and survivability.

Even with Shieldbow, I was getting one-shot by AP carries. With Maw, they basically had no chance, and in teamfights you become an absolute beast.

So this would be my build, and it’s been working extremely well for me:

Yun Tal → Infinity Edge → Mortal Reminder →Attackspeed/Crit Item → Death’s Dance → Maw of Malmortius + Omnivamp Boots

Of course, not always in that exact order, it depends on the enemy team and the situation. But this build is a lot of fun to play.

That’s also why I don’t really understand why Collector is recommended so often. In my opinion, it just isn’t worth it in the late game.

just rework w! thats all, eather its usefull or useluss while being her strongest ability, similar to mel w.

yasuo wasnt meant for botlane, but he is way better designed for melee botlaner then nilah will ever be.

(played against zed adc)

I know Nilah is good against Draven, but he’s been my permaban anytime I play ADC for a while. Now that I’m playing Nilah, I’ve been banning Jinx. Since I MCC out of practice against Draven I was hoping I could get some tips.

Are the specific spike points I should look for? Do I all in early or wait for level 3/6? Anything about how to play the matchup would be awesome

Bonus xp is good for making windows to go in with lvl lead, but heal and shield parts seem dumb, and you have no control over it at all. With Xerath, you don't even get that passive, and with Soraka you can become an unkillable demon goddess. Her team potential is insane, especially in comps that synergize really well with that passive, but individual power is doodoo, especially since skill points don't even give Nilah that much (le funny 10 dmg per point in q). imo, just remove the extra healing and shielding part and move q passive vamp to her passive and let it apply to minions at a reduced rate while healing Nilah and the ally closest to her. Curious if any other Nilah OTPs feel the same or think differently (and honestly, prob change the xp thing altogether or even make that the new botlane quest and replace it with something else in her kit)

In some past time i tried Nilah in jg she was so much fun i played her instead of gwen cuz like they both scale and have then kind w and the champ is fun in general

When they reworked gwen i left the champ didn't even get that much mastery ngl

At the start of the year i saw Nilah getting gutted with 5 nerfs after 5 nerfs so what is her state now and is she still able to be niche in jg?

I’ve found there is usually a clash with my team come mid game when they want me to rotate mid and get shoved in mid as a melee by a long range champ and their support.

I want to play around sidelines where I can get some longer skirmishes to happen and have people come into me but the team treats me like I’m Smolder or Cait.

Anyone else have this issue?

i think better than others you have more durability in laning phase also you can get %5 more healing
