Starting with her passive "Perfect Synergy," Nilah shares experience with nearby allies and enhances healing and shields. This unique mechanic helps maintain level parity with solo laners when last-hitting effectively.

Core Abilities:

Q - Shapeless Blade

  • Passive: Ignores portion of armor and heals based on damage dealt (scales with crit chance)
  • Active: Line attack that increases attack range and speed
  • Enhanced auto attacks deal cone-shaped area damage

W - Celebratory Veil

  • Grants movement speed boost
  • Provides 25% magic damage reduction
  • Dodges basic attacks for 2.25 seconds
  • Can share protection with allies (1.5 seconds duration)

E - Shadow Jump

  • Dash through enemies dealing damage
  • Stores up to 2 charges
  • Can be combined with Q for extended damage
  • Fixed dash distance (be cautious of close-range usage)

R - Apotheosis

  • AoE damage wave that pulls enemies to center
  • Heals based on damage dealt (scales with crit)
  • Healing converts to shield when overhealed
  • Shares healing effect with nearby allies

Optimal Skill Order:

  1. Levels 1-3: Q > E > W
  2. Levels 4-5: Prioritize E
  3. Level 6+: R > Q > E > W

Best Paired With:

  • Engage supports (Nautilus, Leona)
  • Enchanters (Taric, Soraka)
  • Team compositions with strong CC

Building Nilah requires:

  • AD
  • Attack speed
  • Critical strike chance
  • Later: Armor penetration and lifesteal

Nilah excels against basic attack-dependent champions and synergizes well with team-fighting compositions. Her ultimate provides strong engage potential, especially when combined with Flash and Shadow Jump.
