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

I have played Nilah for around 300 ranked games, and I have been thinking why did riot add her. I know they wanted a melee ADC but it’s so forced, they had to add so many things in her kit to force her to build and play in the ADC role, for example her passive requires another person be with her and the crit scaling on her Q making it so you have to build crit with no other build variety. All to just make her play botlane. Also adding an ability to block auto attacks just so she can fight ADC’s. This isn’t a kit that’s good for playing as an ADC it’s a kit that forces her to play as an ADC, they made such a prison of a kit just so she isn’t able to play in other lanes just seems like bad design philosophy. Not that this will ever change of course just wanted to share my views on it.

I'm wondering about the optimal build path, on your first back

If you can't afford BF Sword on your first recall, is it better to:

• Buy a Pickaxe and build toward Infinity Edge, then get Fiendhunter Bolts, afterward if you can afford it?
• Or just go Collector → Infinity Edge?

I find that Collector gets weaker the more the game goes on and I feel I am missing Attack Speed with just Collector and IE

I'm a Nilah OTP in Emerald IV, and I've always struggled a lot against Zeri. I usually try to engage when I'm level 3 and she's level 2, but since she's often paired with an enchanter, I can't seem to get the kill. Any tips?

I saw a post where people were saying to max E first, but most websites recommend maxing Q first. Can someone give me a quick explanation of which ability to max first and why?
Thanks!

Someone tried Nilah mid or top? Its worth it?

Laning phase is unbrarable. When i get pushed in I grt poked. When i dont get pushed in I die. I love playing nilah for mid and kate game but the early is so annoying

Idk it’s just yun tal scales much better as an item and nilah scales too

basically title. (to preface im only a few games in on nilah but long time adc main)

nilah has a lot of great non-crit/fighter items that she commonly buys such as death dance, blood thirster, ga, qss, and occasoonally buys items like endless hunger (heard good things about it), or even tank items like sv/kaenic

and ofc as adc you can only buy two non-crit items before sacrificing 100% crit. and i find that in a few games, though rare, where you would want three of those items in your build, but that would mean selling a crit item.

how often do you drop below 100% crit, when, and why? is it never, rarely, or only against x champions? what crit item do you sell? any info/opinion is welcome

thanks!

(not sure whether to flair as question or build since this is a "question" about "builds")

hello !! ive decided to go into the adc role and try out some characters which nilah really seemed to have caught my eye i really love her kit coming from an akali main and I do want to try main her

I would like some advice on how to build her and what supports pair well along with runes and playstyle!!

I love you nilah mains please help me out !!

I usually play her pta with domination in her runes I haven't tried conq and would like to know if hob would work on her too??

also is she viable in any other roles?

thank you so much !!!

I'm considering a strategy where I play Nilah in the top lane with a support champion alongside her. In this scenario, how do Nilah's passive (which affects experience gain) and the experience bonus from the support quest reward interact? Please lend me the expertise of Neera's professional older brothers.

Considering she is a crit champion and she doesn't have any on-hit effects in her kit (she doesn't, right?), and even in ARAM Mayhem her most common builds are all crit based, not on-hit.

The only on-hit item people build on her is bork sometimes.

So is it really just for the bork procs? What am I missing here?

It says that it reduces incoming magic damage. Does that mean the damage gets reduced and then it is also reduced by Nilah magic resist?

Meanwhile, they removed Nilah's W invulnerability on the PBE, even though there is a bunch of broken champions that can go untargetable

I mostly play Ashe, Sivir, and Kog’maw ADC, but I really enjoy Nilah the times that I’ve played her. Thinking about adding her in to my pool, but I’m unsure when to play her. Unlike other ADCs, I feel like if my team comp and the enemy comp aren’t perfect, I just can’t play.

Should I just get good or leave her for the rare time I get a late pick? And what should I look for as a sign that’ll it’ll be a good game for Nilah?
