Nilah Wild Rift Build & Guide

Conqueror or Lethal Tempo is your best Keystones for Nilah. Conqueror benefits champions with longer fights, and as we all know, Nilah isn’t a burst champion. Nilah can proc higher stacks of Conqueror because of her longer and extended fights, thus giving Nilah tons of damage potential. On the other hand, Lethal Tempo gives Nilah a great advantage when engaging or even counter-engaging an enemy because of its additional attack speed.

Triumph enables Nilah to be more aggressive against low-health enemy champions, as it helps Nilah deal more damage while also adding survivability as it gives Nilah a bit of HP on champion takedowns. If you’re looking for more damage, Sudden Impact is your go-to. It gives Nilah a bit of armor and magic penetration after dashing. It is best paired with the Collector to deal significant burst damage.

Second Wind is there to provide more healing after a fight. Giving her more survivability in the lane, thus giving her more time to farm gold and experience. On the other hand, Ultimate Shield gives Nilah more survivability thanks to the shield she receives when casting her Ultimate. This makes Nilah unstoppable when initiating fights.

Ability Hastes also benefit Nilah; Hunter-Genius is one of her runes. Unique Enemy takedowns grant Nilah ability hastes. In contrast, Sweet Tooth offers more survivability in the lane by receiving more healing from the Honeyfruit.

In our Nilah Wild Rift Guide, here are his best champion spells that you can equip on him.

Having Flash is essential for champions, especially Nilah, as it enables her to engage enemies surprisingly well. It also helps her close the gap when her third ability isn’t enough to reach the enemies.

Exhaust is also essential for Nilah. By having enemies slowed on cast, it gives Nilah more time to do significant damage to the enemy. On the other hand, it can also be used to counter-engage the enemy, reducing their damage significantly.

Nilah in Wild Rift has a meager attack range, so you must upgrade her first skill, the Formless Blade, as soon as possible. This Skill helps Nilah deal relevant damage by having that extra range when it hits any enemy unit, including towers. The next skill you want to upgrade is her high mobility skill, the Slipstream. This dash is also beneficial for Nilah, for it helps to close the gap when engaging enemy champions. This Skill can also be used for evading attacks, as you can dash to friendly units. Her W, Jubilant Veil, is the third thing you want to max on her. It adds more mobility and reduces damage from all incoming attacks. It makes her engagements more effective while allowing her to counter-engage if timed correctly. Lastly, max her Ultimate, Apotheosis, if you can level it up. Casting this ability is crucial when engaging in fights, even team fights. This ultimate ability can help finish enemies that are evading.

Nilah’s early game in Wild Rift should focus more on generating gold by properly last-hitting as many minions as possible. Prevent fights as much as possible whenever the opposing champion has a longer range or has poke potential, as it gives her a significant disadvantage and even makes her lose the lane. Nilah can only trade damage with her first ability by poking them. Finish Nilah’s builds first before you can truly engage the enemy. Nilah’s Lifesteal items greatly matter.

This is where Nilah truly shines. When Nilah achieves her finished build, no one can stop Nilah from destroying enemies. Nilah can either rely on her teammates to set up a fight for her or initiate team fights independently. When Nilah isn’t behind in the early game, she can be aggressive and be a nuisance in team fights by using her dash and Ultimate effectively. On the other hand, when Nilah is behind in the early game, she can use the time to farm minions to achieve her finished build. Farming is essential for Nilah, as her Lifesteal items also matter in team fights.

For our Nilah Wild Rift Guide, we highly recommend using him with the following champions as they synergize well with him.

Senna and Nilah are one of the high-damage lane pairs. Senna is perfect to pair with Nilah. Her healing synergizes with Nilah’s passive well, while also doing poke damage whenever an enemy tries to engage, or poke Nilah. Senna’s second skill, Last Embrace, helps Nilah by setting up a long-range snare for Nilah’s engagement with the enemy. Lastly, Senna’s Ultimate, Dawning Shadow, allows Nilah to engage anywhere on the map as it gives a shield to any allies when it hits, while also dealing damage to enemy champions.

An aquatic duo, Nami and Nilah, is also a perfect pair, not only for their thematic pairing but also for their synergy when it comes to the laning phase. Nami’s healing can help mend Nilah after she takes significant damage from the enemy. Nami can also enable Nilah’s normal attacks to deal more damage while slowing the enemy at the same time, thanks to her Tidecaller’s Blessing. Additionally, Nilah receives an additional movement speed when Nami’s skills are cast on her, due to Nami’s Passive skill, making Nilah’s engage more effective. Nami can also either initiate a team fight or counter-engage the enemy with her ultimate ability, Tidal Wave.
