Effective Laning Strategies:
- Keep waves close to your tower early game to prevent her all-ins
- Watch for her level 6 power spike - she typically reaches it before her opponents
- Build Executioner's Calling early to reduce her healing and sustain
Team Fight Tactics:
- Avoid jungle fights where she can land multi-target Ultimates
- Force her to use W ability, then engage during cooldown
- Focus on CC to prevent her mobility through E ability
Key Power Spikes to Watch:
- Level 3: Full basic ability access enables aggressive plays
- Level 6: Earlier Ultimate access than lane opponents
- First component item: Enhanced trading and skirmishing potential
Remember to coordinate with your team for CC chains and maintain proper positioning to counter Nilah's engage attempts. Her mobility and sustain make her dangerous in extended fights, so focus on short trades and proper wave management.
Warning: Pay special attention to her level 6 timing, as this is when many players get caught off guard by her increased kill potential.
