Statikk Shiv is an extremely over-tuned item at the moment, and it happens to make Nilah an S tier champion as it helps her excel in many match-ups that would otherwise be even or bad. With this item, you don't even need your support to play extremely well, you just need to get to Shiv which is a big power-spike then you can choose your fights. Even if you don't want to fight you will omega-scale with 10cs per minute farming since it's very hard to miss CS with Shiv.
The fact it makes her attack speed faster and useful makes me so happy For so long I’ve hated how slow she autos. Now with essence reaver and statik o have easier and closer fights
Good day enryu, im a huge fan. I main varus nilah lux and sivir. I have several questions regarding nilah. 1. How's statikk into last whisper crit 2nd? (39% arm pen = 5.7 k gold) 2. Is navori dead? I personally prever ie or bloodthirst over navori (e micro dmg, ult dmg nerfs. W cd reduc not significant imo) 3. Is jaksho any good? I really like merc scim jaksho combo. (Little to no ally peel in low elo) 4. Bottom line my build usually: Statikk + defense boots + last whisper crit + merc scimitar + bloodthirst/ie + jaksho. Thoughts?
1&2 Statikk into last whisper is not very good bc at that point you don't really need a last whisper yet, Navori isn't dead but honestly it's been nerfed a lot, next patch it should be a bit better since it's getting a tiny buff, but Infinity edge is getting an even bigger buff so maybe IE will be the new wave. 3. Jak'sho is weak because it offers no offensive stats and it's hard to build so if anything Death's Dance / Maw is better, you generally will not need Jaksho in a real game unless the enemy are all gigafed but at that point you should just play to one-shot them instead of staying alive for 3 seconds more if that makes sense
yoyoyo, been following you since the start thank you for all the guides and content !! i just wanted to pick your brain on collector a lil bit, especially in low elo i've tried all of your builds, and for some reason, I felt weaker everytime i didn't build collector first or second in games where my support isn't human (which happens all the time in low elo) i just don't have enough damage to all in squishies in early-mid game with Voltaic, Stattikk or eclipse. it feels so natural to build, bc the 5% health execute will often be the difference between a kill and enemy running away with 100 hp for some reason it feels like Nilah is balanced around building collector first, in order for her to deal decent amounts of damage until Dominik so yeah I guess my question is : would you recommend collector more in low elo?
I'm also still liking Collector first but only if I'm ahead. Statikk gives similar fighting power while also letting you control wave states better, which is extremely important mid game. So in the event I find myself in a bit of a stalemate or of I'm behind, I will opt for Statikk.
collector has lethality so the "impact" of your damage will feel like it hurts more but statikk has 30% attack speed and similar AD so over time you will do more damage in a fight with that attack speed
hi Enryu I will love to know your thought about a Nilan main in China server chooses to build collector then into lord dominik, is it another option for lethality? And how should I choose in build between shiv attack speed build and lethality focus build?
hmm good question actually, do you have the name for that player? The build sounds interesting for sure so I'd probably like to vod review it before making judgment, shiv build is also nerfed so don't go that anymore
also I would just like to add that I ran the numbers against a target dummy in practice tool and static shiv came out ahead of all other first item purchases on Nilah in a 2 q combo while auto attacking in between the first and second q. like “q auto e auto auto auto q auto” other items only allow for about two autos in between the q cd Not only is it cheaper it is also just straight up more damage at one item in a real fight ***results may very**** 😂😂
hi enryu, when would u ever go collector -> ldr vs storm -> IE on the voltatic build? I thought maybe the first one is just better since you are only building against squishes anyways
Hi! I really liked videos. It Helped me starting Nilah from 0. I have a question. What do you ban in ranked matches? Or what type of enemies do you hesitate to pick Nilah?
Depends on the match but no one really plays Xayah anymore so whatever is annoying to you that you play against often you should just ban, for example if I see a lot of Azir players in one day I'll start banning Azir
You pretty much just Q + auto the wave and the wave is gone in like 3 seconds, but you also have to dodge skillshots first if they are skillshot poke champions.
From my experience nilah laning phase is stupid strong and she can win 99% of level 2-3 and onward fights, having complete lane domination except against hard poke matchups right, but how do you translate a lane win to a game win? I struggle a lot on how to play midgame beyond group for objectives and stay mid so you can rotate, any tips?
Hey Enryu What matchups should I skip Navori and go for other items first? Or should I even completely ignore navori in my build? Lately I played some games without Navori in my build and it's not that bad. For sure I know navori is good against longer fights/tanks (duh) but sometimes I encounter people building it even into not very tanky comps Is it a habit or some hidden "strategy"??
@@LoLEnryu So skipping is not generally good? or are there exceptions for example when I need to play your Eclipse build So: Stattik>Eclipse>Shieldbow>LDR>Fill Item And then can I replace Stattik for Navori or search for a bit AS from phantom dancer?
hi, im a main support and i LOVE off meta, like camille, belveth, Elise. You think Nilah function as support or because of no CC is it quite useless? Thanks Great Content!
Probably not, if Nilah isn't doing damage then she is pretty useless, her kit would never function as a true support whether you choose to go damage or tank Nilah
Do you think next patch nilah could go full crit with like ie because of the buffs or do you think this build and lethality build will still be better?
WOOOO more Enryu content! Thanks 😁 Do you still use Inspiration as a secondary option for your runes or have you switched to Domination? I went on a 12-game winning streak with this build and was wondering if buying Cull is a good idea.
Inspiration / Resolve is usually good and consistent, cull is honestly okay but often you won't need it because Nilah has to buy too many components that you will run out of space
Im abusing it in a similar way on Twitch, but I haven't yet been able to convince any other Twitch main to give it a whirl. They are all so focussed on bork runaans combo that they forget other builds exist.
I still think this is kind of a niche build depending on your rank. Lower ranks will have no idea how to capitalize on the ADC roaming, so the advantage it creates is very questionable. I think freezing and zoning is a more consistent playstyle until team macro reaches a fairly high level.
it's not very niche though, the item is just mathematically good and it has really good waveclear on top of being a crit item which is really good for nilah, freezing and zoning also requires your support and jungler to capitalize and maintain so it's not always the best either, i see what you mean though
Collector is too good of a buy on Samira to pass up. The execute makes sures you can reliably land the killing blow with ult to snowball out of control.
Just to put into perspective how BROKEN shiv is in terms of stats: Stridebreaker is ALSO an AoE type of item, which ALSO gives 50 AD & 30% ATK SPD JUST LIKE SHIV, but costs 600 MORE GOLD. Stride gives 450HP and Shiv 20% CRIT. Again into perspective: a giant's belt (350hp) is 900g and agility cloak (15%crit) is 600. AT BEST that amount of hp should cost just 300-ish more gold than that amount of crit, but (again) SHIV IS 600 GOLD CHEAPER. Let that sink in.

Enryu honestly i would adore to watch full unedited matches that you get from streams from time to time! Much love
will work on that
Really nice guide! Love the thumbnail so much 😍
i won 16 of 17 games the last few days with this build... ty enryu
🙏🙏🙏
The fact it makes her attack speed faster and useful makes me so happy
For so long I’ve hated how slow she autos. Now with essence reaver and statik o have easier and closer fights
Yeah the attack speed is very nice

yoyoyo, been following you since the start thank you for all the guides and content !!
i just wanted to pick your brain on collector a lil bit, especially in low elo
i've tried all of your builds, and for some reason, I felt weaker everytime i didn't build collector first or second
in games where my support isn't human (which happens all the time in low elo) i just don't have enough damage to all in squishies in early-mid game with Voltaic, Stattikk or eclipse.
it feels so natural to build, bc the 5% health execute will often be the difference between a kill and enemy running away with 100 hp
for some reason it feels like Nilah is balanced around building collector first, in order for her to deal decent amounts of damage until Dominik
so yeah I guess my question is : would you recommend collector more in low elo?

hmm good question actually, do you have the name for that player? The build sounds interesting for sure so I'd probably like to vod review it before making judgment, shiv build is also nerfed so don't go that anymore
Enryu try not to use a completely different build every chance he gets challenge: impossible
that is very true actually, it's what keeps the game fun though imo
@@LoLEnryuno complaints from me, i respect it
also I would just like to add that I ran the numbers against a target dummy in practice tool and static shiv came out ahead of all other first item purchases on Nilah in a 2 q combo while auto attacking in between the first and second q. like “q auto e auto auto auto q auto”
other items only allow for about two autos in between the q cd
Not only is it cheaper it is also just straight up more damage at one item in a real fight
***results may very**** 😂😂
yeah it's good damage and cheap, very broken item
hi enryu, when would u ever go collector -> ldr vs storm -> IE on the voltatic build? I thought maybe the first one is just better since you are only building against squishes anyways
I think collector 1st item is a relic of the past, the item is really nerfed and there are better options that help Nilah with her weaknesses
hey enryu, will you continue the unranked to gm series?
yep! the next video will be unranked to challenger for sure, i just didn't have as much time to play and do all the other stuff recently
@@LoLEnryu that's good to know! but please take some rest too, its important!
Hi! I really liked videos. It Helped me starting Nilah from 0. I have a question. What do you ban in ranked matches? Or what type of enemies do you hesitate to pick Nilah?
personnaly i find it hard to lane against ; xayah, caitlyn, jhin, swain and somehow kaisa
@@benouwa95 Totally agree on Xayah. Played a few ranked games and I find Janna very hard, especially her being OP rn. Thanks for your opinion man.
Depends on the match but no one really plays Xayah anymore so whatever is annoying to you that you play against often you should just ban, for example if I see a lot of Azir players in one day I'll start banning Azir
Great video! Thanks for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Some examples of clearing the wave would be nice! I don't see how the proc will allow you to fight waves if there are two ranged enemies poking you.
You pretty much just Q + auto the wave and the wave is gone in like 3 seconds, but you also have to dodge skillshots first if they are skillshot poke champions.
From my experience nilah laning phase is stupid strong and she can win 99% of level 2-3 and onward fights, having complete lane domination except against hard poke matchups right, but how do you translate a lane win to a game win? I struggle a lot on how to play midgame beyond group for objectives and stay mid so you can rotate, any tips?
I want to try nilah support do you think it be viable I’m basically a support hwei otp but nilah interest me so much
Nilah support probably a bit troll, you won't have enough gold to build items and the EXP passive is kinda wasted
How do you feel about ER on nilah rn. The rank 2 nilah in Korea has been spamming it in all his games and has a 70+ wr on nilah rn.
I personally don't think essence is good and but if u want u can link me his account and ill review it to see if there's some secret tech
you're using bork in the video but haven't mentioned it?
it was very specific to that game since they had two 5000 hp tanks
Hey Enryu
What matchups should I skip Navori and go for other items first?
Or should I even completely ignore navori in my build?
Lately I played some games without Navori in my build and it's not that bad.
For sure I know navori is good against longer fights/tanks (duh) but sometimes I encounter people building it even into not very tanky comps
Is it a habit or some hidden "strategy"??
Navori 2nd item is generally just really good with shiv, but shieldbow is nice for more survival against squishy comps
@@LoLEnryu So skipping is not generally good? or are there exceptions for example when I need to play your Eclipse build
So: Stattik>Eclipse>Shieldbow>LDR>Fill Item
And then can I replace Stattik for Navori or search for a bit AS from phantom dancer?
Very well spoken
thank you

Do you think next patch nilah could go full crit with like ie because of the buffs or do you think this build and lethality build will still be better?
I think there's a good chance that happens yeah, will test it when the new IE comes out and probablyh make a video on it
WOOOO more Enryu content! Thanks 😁

statikk is probably not bad on twitch but to be fair bork is one of his best items

Would statik into essence reaver also be good as navori is basically an expensive essence reaver
Not really, navori offers a lot more than essence and navori scales whereas essence just stays generally the same the whole game
what camps do you guys normally ban, when playing nilah
ban xayah or poke supports
worst adc matchup is xayah but no one really plays her anymore so i usually just ban meta/annoying champs like smolder & karma
Nice, thanks for the guide
thank you for watching!
it would ne dope if you made a mobafire guide for people like me to look at in ourgames :)
I have one but it's not updated, will be updating it as soon as possible!
Nice Enryu thanks for sharing I feel that the collector first item wasn't as good as it was before.
thank you for watching!
Awesome!
Does this also apply to Samira?
Probably not, Samira is a very rigid champion I'd say so it's either lethality or just normal crit build on her
Collector is too good of a buy on Samira to pass up. The execute makes sures you can reliably land the killing blow with ult to snowball out of control.
thank you for this.
thank you for watching!
Gotta change your name to eneru with this build

queria tanto entender o que ele fala

Those poor Plat players :(
Halo stel😅
But with collector you can reach almost 50% armor pen with the pen gained by q passive
You can reach the same passive armor penetration going statikk too because statikk also has crit chance
