Tips Against Nilah in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
TheExfear says “She can block your W barrage, but she is a short-ranged champion and her W is longer cooldown than your W. Poke her down, care level 6 engage with enemy jg help”
Pavel Sejk says “Champions playing around sustain and lifesteal (Nilah, Samira etc.) can make your job harder. They can tank a lot of damage and are hard to poke.”
Hidden Ghoster says “You lose all-ins VS her when she's 6. Punish her Level 1-3, be careful around 5. The reason you don't win once she's 6 is because she'll use her gap closer and activate her W to block all of your auto attacks. If you're in her ult, Congrats. You've officially lost that fight. Basically, punish her early and deny her any scaling if you can. Can take Exhaust and Nimbus Cloak VS her. You will be needing it to counter her gap closer.”
Jhin and Tonic says “Like Samira, Nilah can block your 4th shot denying you a lot of damage and movement speed. She will try to go in on you every chance she gets just keep your 4th shot until her w runs out and you should be fine. Exhaust is recommended.
”
VrNtv says “Make sure to deny her early cs thanks to your superior range(she only has 225 range), get prio and keep spacing so she can't jump on you. If you play this safe and keep poking with Fishbones she can't do anything to you before she recalls or gets her ult. If she dashes into you make sure to Exhaust her when she is about to ult and try to keep your space. You outscale her. but she is still pretty broken and wins every fight against you if she is full HP, so make sure to poke her hard early.
”
RandomNPC777 says “Nilah likes to go in, and likes to go in hard. She almost always wants to be paired with a melee engage support. Poke her out as much as possible, and kite back as much as possible to deny her damage.”
Xr3ad says “Nilah has alot of burst damage + mobility making it really hard for vayne to kite her out. Use Q - Tumble and E - Condemn well and you should have a good chance”
support_diff says “Nilah doesn't deal too much damage to you as you can E the most of it but she can ignore your auto attacks which is pretty serious if you try to all-in her”
Alvatorz says “The champion is fine at the moment but with the actual meta you wont see her a lot, too much disengage supp like Alistar or Thresh and she can't really reach you easily.”
SheriffADC says “One of the hardest counters for Samira, because your champ has no poke she gets a free lane (bonus XP for her and her support from passive), there is nothing to block with your Blade Whirl, her Jubilant Veil can deny you getting Style-grades (she is immune to the one second S-tier combo), if she saves her ult she can just interrupt yours.”
Amberdragon says “She's melee which gives you a huge advantage over her in lane. Don't let her farm, if she is allowed to last hit minions she will get her level 2, 3 and 6 before you and might be able to kill you. Respect her powerspikes and don't get engaged on.
Something you can do with her (that you can also do against Samira, Yasuo and Irelia) is to put traps on your minions, so that if she tries to dash to them as a way to get to you, she will be caught.”
Ozioks says “If she's good you lose. Try to poke her lvl - 1-2 so she should recall. Poke her, flash from her R. If she used her W, AA her like second before it end. You can build Anathema or Death's Dance”
Alvatorz says “Nilah is kinda annoying for Zeri because of her better early game and also her W making Zeri's Q useless but other than that, you scale better and she can't hit you anyway in the latter stages so all fine.”
moso says “It's pretty night and day with Nilah for lane vs out of lane. In lane, it is nearly impossible to fight unless your Support matchup is hard winning. You don't have the mobility to get her off of you and don't have the damage to follow up. But if you're able to kite it out you can definitely prolong the fight and win. TL;DR if you can keep her off of you, you are winning.”
LegendaryOstrich says “She can dodge your auto attacks similar to Jax's E. I would try to think of the playstyle as vs Yasuo, wait for her to use the ability then go all in.”
Kitqsune says “As of now, with kogmaw, the hardest matchup for Samira. she has absolutely no projectiles to block and can latch onto you easily, disarm your ult with her r, and more. She's a tough matchup! That and her w makes it so that combo weaving is paused - even with only a second given to Nilah, she can easily kill you within that timeframe at the late game period.”
slendoooo says “Nilah is one of the easiest matchups because of her really really low range, you can easily punish her while she is trying to CS.
Always punish her when she is getting minions, because she and her support will get 150% XP otherwise.
Her only threat ability for Draven is her W which makes her take 0 Damage from Auto Attacks, but remember, even if she uses W, you can still auto attack her to stack your lethal tempo. Then simply proceed to all in her.

Coldsong says “Nilah is really strong into Samira as she can compete with her aggressiveness while also being save with her own W. Make sure to bait out her W before making any engage. She also has no projectiles, which means that you should save your W for the support instead at all times.”
Aquemulus says “This champion just ruins your champ in every way possible you can't fourth aa her because of her W she just dashes into you deals too much damage and then dashes back to her support you can't do anything”
LionelOCE says “Nilah is quite manageable if you space correctly. Your slow is also frustrating for her to deal with but be careful to avoid her ultimate.”
Abo5olod says “You can abuse her Pre 6
If she uses her Q on wave you can poke her because her range is low
After 6 if she ults you try to shield with R
Try to bait her W before using your combo
you can even hold on your hail of blade to not waste it
you only win this match up if Nilah misplays or you play it too well otherwise it's impossible to win lane without a counter support”
Urason says “This champion absolutely dumpsters Samira because of her insane Q damage, level advantage, her W blocks your autos which stalls your passive stacks, she can E away from you, AND she can ult to cancel your ult. Overall its really hard to play into her so good luck. ”
Pengwan says “More of an annoying matchup than anything else. Make sure to bait her W before you try to all in her as she can block alot of your main damage with it.”
yers says “melee adc lol, keep a good distance so that she has zero opportunity to dive you. you are able to shove her away if shes about to dash at you.”
KnobHobbler says “A terrible matchup.
Pre 6 you can poke and farm but after six you are dead.
Take exhaust.
Her W is a pain to deal with so bait it.
Play under your tower.”
NotAragami says “200 years. Even if she's feeding hard you will die to her full combo because Riot thinks it's a great idea to give a ranged champion the ability to ignore basic attacks. If you somehow survive her burst, kite the living shit out of her as she ran out of dashes. ”
franksterzz says “Not sure quite yet, haven't seen her all that much. She seems to be really strong but she's a melee adc and you can play against her somewhat easily. Don't let her get on top of you (in melee) as she can dodge autos and beat you up in the meantime. Try to poke her out of lane because her passive gives her and her support extra XP so she will start outleveling you after 6 if you play too passively.”
Amberdragon says “Nilah's W can mess up your passive stacking really bad, rendering your Hail of Blades useless. She also has magic damage reduction on W so early game where you deal a lot of magic damage this is really bad. She also has plenty of mobility and damage to stay on top of you and kill. Play safe early on, abusing your range advantage when you can but hold E and R to run away. If she R try to flee before you get pulled into her. Try to always hit W to stack passive faster and play around isolated Q and spacing when she has W up.”
UwUSoftGirl says “[Poke/Short Trades] Nilah can dash onto your caster minions and then on you because she has 2 dashes. So you need to poke her down so she's not able to, also short trades outside her range since she's melee. She can very easily catch you and she scales very hard so ring ring jungler help please yaas.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Keep the wave closer to your side of the map early. It will protect you from her all-ins. Respect her level 6 power spike. She can quickly kill you when she gets the level up. It’s also important to remember that she will hit level 6 before you.”

Amberdragon says “You can kite and zone her, making it hard for her to all-in you. You deny her R and can harass her when she tries to cs. Fairly easy matchup.
However, keep in mind that she will most likely get a level lead on you if she manages to stay alive in lane and farm. Also be watchful of her W denying your autos.”
Demonsedge90 says “Watch out for Nilah's jubilant veil (w), which dodges basic attacks and reduces magic damage & apotheosis (r) that interrupts your bullet times channel and pulls you close. Preventing her from last hitting minions denies the bonus gold and experience from her passive. A tough matchup for you if you make too many mistakes.”
m1NEEX says “Make sure to deny her early cs thanks to your superior range(she only has 225 range), get prio and keep spacing so she can't jump on you.
