Let me be real. I have played LoL since season 3, and as long as that is, I have never had a youtube series actually detail how to play every aspect of a champion. Props to you, keep it up.
I just discovered Nilah like 2 Weeks ago and she is so much fun. I even played her in Scrims just the day i discovered her. These Vids just gave me so many insights on the variety of playstyles with her!!
After many years of jhin, i started nilah today and i cant remember having so much fun. Found you today, hopefully you will keep making some content to watch
tysm for the guide, I know this is not 100 usable on wr but i think the tips you gave are soo good, so thanks for the guide!! (not the eric dota shoutout at 2:20 LMAOOOO)
my only question is in this vid for runes you did not mention other secondary page options such as sudden impact / treasure hunter or second wind / revitalize ?
Other options aren't as consistent as inspiration, green tree is for sure scaling but a lot of times it doesn't really help as Nilah is trying to get ahead before lane phase is over or it's hard to play. Red tree is just bad right now
I have been playing her for 4 days already in ranked and i have 8 wins and 2 lose and i've been lookong for a good guide and i founded, ty, so interesting, let's see if can keep improving!
Hey Enryu! What do you think of a bruiser build with the rise of gore shojin ? I have absolutely no clue and am just curious tbh. Great video as per usual!
Definitely not ideal since Nilah scales off crit and armor penetration, for nilah, navori is just a better shojin and bloodthirster/deaths dance is much better than gore However, I think it could be a fun idea to try and play bruiser Nilah
I remember a bit ago when you were advocating teleport into scaling lanes and/or if you have a support like a sona, is this still the case? Or is there simply more value in cleanse/exhaust/barrier generally compared to tp
It's still viable but less viable bc of all the bs in the game, as a melee champ you either get bursted or cc'd to death and a lot of games are extremely hard without cleanse / exhaust etc.
Hey was just curious if your going the eclipse build and want to build the zeal early at what point do you get rid of it? Or do you happen to buy a phantom dancer later on and would you build the zeal dirk combo if your behind or just try to rush the mythic
i've been playing nilah since her release and i never seen a situacion where galeforce would be better than the old prowler's claw or eclipse (i'm not challenger *yet*) and for the time being i'm spamming her toplane and for the most part, don't you think eclipse is the best item for most situacions even in botlane (i know that galeforce has the dash active but other than that what more does galeforce offer to nilah compared to eclipse) i think in general eclipse fits more the playstyle for a "selfish" nilah, still i would like to hear your opinion on the next vid or comments idk your channel motivated me to not stoping playing her btw thx
Unfortunately prowler's is gone and yea I would always choose prowler's over galeforce but we don't really have a choice anymore, eclipse is very good in most games but sometimes when the enemy literally have 4+ high range champions galeforce is really necessary
Hey Enryu! Due to your guide I've become quite acquainted with Nilah and is such a fun champ to play. However, currently there is a bug with Spear of Shojin - the Dragonforce item bonus reducing Base ability cooldowns does NOT work on her W. The tooltip shows reduced cooldown, but using the spell shows pre-Dragonforce cooldown and is actually ticking real-time as if Spear of Shojin is not bought.
How much have you tried different biulds on Nilah? beucase i have thought about a lot of combos. 1. Lethal tempo with Navori+Shieldbow+Bloodthirster (the goal is to be able to have 2 w up in a fight, with very fast attack, you need somewhat quickly get 7 ish attachs off after your first w, to get a 2nd w, also the abilkity dmg is a nice bonus, i think the lifesteal and shieldbow is nice to keep alive after your 1st w is down. 2. It might just be me but i feel like essesen reaver is an over looked item in a nilah burst biuld, like Ecipse/duskblade + collector biuld. 3. CDR bruiser biuld vs hard team comps - So i imagine this being good vs hard counters as you can pivot more into a utility heal bot for your team the biuld could be 1. Trintiy 2. Blackcleaver 3. Spear of shojin and then what ever, this gived a fuckload of ability haste which will give more w and r in fights, for the cost of less dmg, but since you can surive longer, maybe still good dmg. 4. I have not tried this, but what about axiom arc 3rd item, is it possible to get 2 r in one fight? 5. what about stormrazor??? gives the attack speed you where looking for in the zeal you talked about + with your e you can somewaht quickly charge enmergize and utizlize the MS burst to kite or get closer to targets.
@@LoLEnryu Ok but what do you think about the CDR/health bruiser Build (3) just always bad, or good into some team comps? or if your team lacs engade or something?
You would only take it against full melee comps but at that point you wouldn't even need the lethal tempo range so it's actually quite useless and also conqueror would just be better against full melee anyways so I would probably never take it. Although I will say PTA is a viable option against full squishy teams
It's sad I don't have a PC and I play Wild Rift, Nilah's passive has been changed so the gameplay and itemization is completely different, but I still enjoy watching your videos to learn about the mechanics and the limits of the champion
Great vid! I might go back to OTPing Nilah after getting tired of dumb supports and playing Panth top foe a while lol. One question, why is Last Stand the standard instead of Coup? Since Shieldbow is dead and the build doesn't really focus on lifesteal or shields other than Eclipse, wouldn't it be better to go Coup to finish off enemies? One of the reasons I dropped Nilah was because enemies wscaped with a sliver of health too often. Keep up the good work!
More often than not, if the enemy are getting low in the early game Nilah will be low as well which makes last stand a bit better than coup because of the numbers, last stand is also a viable option if the enemy are extremely tanky (this is just from experience from looking at the rune numbers in game though, i tend to see last stand performing a lot better than coup), and thank you for the support!
Hey, great vid! Had a quick question regarding navori's. My build for nilah typically revolves around building ravenous into navoris and then going full crit sustain. So building bt, shieldbow, lord doms, pd, whatever other crit survivability item and it seems to work out pretty well. I feel like it solves the problem of being able to engage and not dying too fast. Havent had too many issues w the build. I have har problems where maybe it takes too long for me to scale, but most games i feel like i have such a massive lead that it doesnt matter. Is this an outdated build? Or still potentially viable? I was able to hit low masters with it but havent played her recently.
I think it's very counter-intuitive to go ravenous and navori because building navori means you want to stack crit asap, and ravenous really doesn't help
Hiw do you feel abt the item haste rune to bring our galeforce cd back down, and let us feel better abt lifeline cd? With a possible early essence reaver even maybe? Or is that all just bad
Do you mean cosmic insight or Ingenious hunter? Cosmic Insight is good but ingenious hunter not great, and the red tree is not ideal on Nilah. Essence Reaver is bad though
@LoLEnryu alright sounds good thanks, I was thinking ingenious giving either Gale or eclipse cdr then just pairing it with item cdrs like shieldbow and ER With er early for mana
Heya thinking of taking her toplane and was wondering if this sounds good. Eclipse into fighter / juggernaut matchups collector into navori for tank/free farm matchups
One question: why does barrier work better than exhaust against Samira and Draven? I have always thought that exh would prove more reliable vs low range ADCs. Is it because barrier generally mitigates more damages in early stages of the game?
champions like samira and draven take cleanse more often that not, exhaust is completely useless against cleanse most of the time. I would only take exhaust against enemy samira/draven if my team had literal 0 cc so the cleanse value is very low
Nilah's Q cooldown stays the same regardless of ability rank, and it only gains 5 damage per rank up + deals more damage with more AD but we don't have too much of that early game anyways. However, If we max E first we get drastically shorter cooldown and more guaranteed damage per every E use.
@@LoLEnryu i was thinking it had to with the fact that E cool down gets almost halved at max rank. I also tried this set-up in a few games and it feels really consistent, especially compared to the Navori builds I see almost on every website. I deeply thank you for this video!
would you ever run ghost, im surprised to hear barrier as a choice, which totaly makes sense, but i wuld think exh out weighs the dmg u take from the burst. I'll def take into that acountt next time i play vs draven/samira. What would be the situation for taking PD, would that just be if your snowballing?
It has been the standard for a while now, I think enryu said that the only time you max Q is when you get super ahead and can build AD very early on, otherwise maxing Q just doesnt give that much dmg early, whereas maxing E significantly reduces it CD, which is essential for fighting
yep, it has been the standard for a while now, a lot of people prefer going 3 points into E then max Q but I personally prefer 5 points into E because the cooldown is just so good. You would have to be extremely ahead for Q max to be better
@@LoLEnryu ty for the insight! Keep up the great work! Now it makes sense. Early on u have little AD so Q isnt that effective. Later when u have more crit + a second AD item it makes much more sense to max.
So right now instead of building Collector for the first item should I go for Eclipse into low-health enemy comps? For example Sion Kha Lux Cait and Janna?
I would go galeforce into that comp, lux cait janna are really hard to play into without galeforce unless ur team already has a ton of engage / pick potential
If Nilah takes cleanse and plays safe until Galeforce (assuming Nilah is playing with 0 engage) then cait xerath just become free kills. If Nilah has something like a Pyke or Blitzcrank then I'd imagine that it's unplayable for cait xerath. All Nilah has to do is cleanse the xerath stun and it's gg
Honestly ARAM build is probably very similar to her summoner's rift build, ravenous hydra isn't even good in ARAM anymore bc the scaling on it is so bad since everyone gets so much gold that you just get outscaled if u go hydra
i've been going collector into eclipse for a while now (skipping zeal completely) and it feels so strong. Eclipse first without zeal feels like bad idea to me and i just dont like buying zeal after the nerfs to it.
@@LoLEnryuI was also going to stay regardless of zeal I feel like first item shoudl be collector if you’re going to build it anyways. The gold passive is better the earlier you get it, and the stats on collector first always seem good. Just wondering what your thinking on making it second is.
I learned a lot from your twitch stream the only time I caught it (sadly it seems you are not that often streaming :( ), and this will help even more! Thanks!
Thanks for the support! Unfortunately my internet these days isn't very stable so I can't really stream (it disconnects every 1-2 hours for 10-20 minutes
Really well made video. When I have played Nilah, she has always been fun to play. Would like to have her in my pool, but I play mid as my main and already have an AD champ. Nonetheless, hope you keep with the quality Nilah content. You are the only Nilah main/OTP that has valuable insight into the champ
not as consistent as the other ones, ghost is good in teamfights but in lane it's pretty bad since nilah is melee, you can pretty much just think of it as the same as running ghost on yasuo / samira
depends, if you have enough for BF sword always buy BF sword first because it's very expensive, if you don't have enough you just buy long swords or a dirk
Nilah's Q cooldown stays the same regardless of ability rank, and it only gains 5 damage per rank up + deals more damage with more AD but we don't have too much of that early game anyways. However, If we max E first we get drastically shorter cooldown and more guaranteed damage per every E use.
Item doesn't scale well and some may argue that it's a good powerspike early game but honestly you could just buy vamp scepter (900g) and you have the same lifesteal as the full ravenous hydra, Nilah doesn't need more waveclear from hydra so the item is basically good for nothing
Alistar and Janna are universal counters just because of their knockback (you can never go in basically) Lulu and Soraka are counters if your support doesn't know how to play since they can just protect their ADC really well There are some demonic counters like singed taliyah support etc.
for sure but it's pretty much just up to preference, xayah / alistar are good bot lane bans and there are just too many bans for other lanes such as taliyah zed akali
Thanks you for this tutorial, despite knowing its a bad ideea I started teaching lol to my gf. And as a starter champion for her I settled in on Sona. I am not an adc player so I wraped my head around what champion could allow me to carry even when she cant make the best plays. Thanks to your tutorials I actualy started carrying a good bit of games, even if shes still learning. Thank you man, there are almost no Nilah tutorials out there and I started likeing this champion a lot because of you!
Eclipse is just a better shieldbow for the shield, bloodthirster is a much better lifesteal item, shieldbow has a little bit of everything in the item but there are much better items, if we want to survive on Nilah we can just buy death's dance / bloodthirster
E max gives you less cd allowing you to play more agressive and giving you more mobility that Nilah need the most. Q doesnt change anything expect like 5 more ad per tier.
NilahQ cooldown stays the same regardless of ability rank, and it only gains 5 damage per rank up + deals more damage with more AD but we don't have too much of that early game anyways. However, If we max E first we get drastically shorter cooldown and more guaranteed damage per every E use.

wait is ingeneous hunter still good for galeforce or not worth anymore after the nerfs
not very consistent because you never know when you'll get 4-5 stacks, you always know what you're getting with inspiration consistently though
Is E Max before Q Max the new standard or does it depend on smth?
If the enemy team is less mobile maybe Q Max? Does the dmg output drop?

Thoughts on BOTRK ?
not strong unless the enemy are 4+ tanks / bruisers
Thanks!
No problem!
So right now instead of building Collector for the first item should I go for Eclipse into low-health enemy comps? For example Sion Kha Lux Cait and Janna?
I would go galeforce into that comp, lux cait janna are really hard to play into without galeforce unless ur team already has a ton of engage / pick potential
FINALLY....THANK YOU
thanks for watching!
Would you say the self sufficient build is still worth going for? I just love not having to worry about mana
essence reaver is definitely weak this season on Nilah and it got nerfed for Nilah since her base AD is very low
The content we craveeeeee
thanks for watchinggg
can i ask why not bezerk over steel caps
Steelcaps does wonders and Nilah doesn't really lack attack speed in the later stages of the game bc of Q active atk spd
Do you still play? I couldn't find you on the rankings
i do but not as much, name changed about a month ago, will probably be updating videos / announcements soon
The Zeal tech is real, very noticeable the difference without it.
agreed
I have a question for the cait and xerath matchup im usually the xerath in this case but i want to know how a good Nilah would play this.
If Nilah takes cleanse and plays safe until Galeforce (assuming Nilah is playing with 0 engage) then cait xerath just become free kills. If Nilah has something like a Pyke or Blitzcrank then I'd imagine that it's unplayable for cait xerath. All Nilah has to do is cleanse the xerath stun and it's gg
Good stuff! Hope you can cover her Aram build.
Honestly ARAM build is probably very similar to her summoner's rift build, ravenous hydra isn't even good in ARAM anymore bc the scaling on it is so bad since everyone gets so much gold that you just get outscaled if u go hydra
i've been going collector into eclipse for a while now (skipping zeal completely) and it feels so strong. Eclipse first without zeal feels like bad idea to me and i just dont like buying zeal after the nerfs to it.
The nerfs are bad for the other ADC's but for Nilah it's still good because the crit and attack speed is kind of like a steroid for her early game
@@LoLEnryuI was also going to stay regardless of zeal I feel like first item shoudl be collector if you’re going to build it anyways. The gold passive is better the earlier you get it, and the stats on collector first always seem good. Just wondering what your thinking on making it second is.

Nonetheless, hope you keep with the quality Nilah content. You are the only Nilah main/OTP that has valuable insight into the champ
Thanks for the support!
Random question but do you ever play samira? I know Nilah and Samira are a little similar so I've always wondered
sometimes but not really, i think samira is genuinely just a worse (but easier champ) nilah
Hi bro do u think nilah mid is viable ?
not very, too many counters like zed,azir,akali,fizz etc. it's only good into certain champions like yasuo but nilah gets railed by everything else
@@LoLEnryu Ok ok thank you !
What about ghost as summoner spell?
not as consistent as the other ones, ghost is good in teamfights but in lane it's pretty bad since nilah is melee, you can pretty much just think of it as the same as running ghost on yasuo / samira
what if I'm too stupid and forget to use galefoce
Practice makes perfect!
Is collector + duskblade worth trying?
Really weak at the moment
If I want to buy Galeforce in this game ,Do I still need to buy Dirk first or rush galeforce?
depends, if you have enough for BF sword always buy BF sword first because it's very expensive, if you don't have enough you just buy long swords or a dirk
Why do you prefer to max e first?
Nilah's Q cooldown stays the same regardless of ability rank, and it only gains 5 damage per rank up + deals more damage with more AD but we don't have too much of that early game anyways. However, If we max E first we get drastically shorter cooldown and more guaranteed damage per every E use.
@@LoLEnryu ok, thanks!
Ghost is not good on nilah? When do you use it?
Too much cc / burst damage in the game to use ghost often nowadays, cleanse/exhaust/barrier are a lot more consistent in 90% of the games
Would you ever build hydra on nilah ?
Item doesn't scale well and some may argue that it's a good powerspike early game but honestly you could just buy vamp scepter (900g) and you have the same lifesteal as the full ravenous hydra, Nilah doesn't need more waveclear from hydra so the item is basically good for nothing
what support do you think counters her the most?
Alistar and Janna are universal counters just because of their knockback (you can never go in basically)
Lulu and Soraka are counters if your support doesn't know how to play since they can just protect their ADC really well
There are some demonic counters like singed taliyah support etc.
Can u do a video on 1) when to not pick Niliah and 2) who to ban as niliah
for sure but it's pretty much just up to preference, xayah / alistar are good bot lane bans and there are just too many bans for other lanes such as taliyah zed akali
Where is episode 2
it's here !
I love that Erick Dota was your midlaner this game, amazing guide, excited for the series ❤️
Thank you for watching! Appreciate it a lot
can you explain why E max?
Thanks you for this tutorial, despite knowing its a bad ideea I started teaching lol to my gf. And as a starter champion for her I settled in on Sona. I am not an adc player so I wraped my head around what champion could allow me to carry even when she cant make the best plays. Thanks to your tutorials I actualy started carrying a good bit of games, even if shes still learning.
Thank you man, there are almost no Nilah tutorials out there and I started likeing this champion a lot because of you!
oh dear hopefully u guys don't argue over league, wish you both the best
@@LoLEnryu so far so good, she started playing yuumi now and we win lane most of the time. But man, do I miss being a brainless tank main XD
thanks!!!!!! do more!!!!!!
Got it !!!!
why max e over q?
lower cooldown on e, more damage early
make a match ups mini guide in google docs as a PDF
I do not condone PDFs (there's a matchup guide in the discord channel but it's not that updated, I will be updating it soon though)
Why not shieldbow ? Not a mythic and got buffed
Eclipse is just a better shieldbow for the shield, bloodthirster is a much better lifesteal item, shieldbow has a little bit of everything in the item but there are much better items, if we want to survive on Nilah we can just buy death's dance / bloodthirster
@@LoLEnryu but we can cumulate eclipse and shieldbow, also shieldbow give u crit so armor pen, not better then item without crit ?
Wait was that Erick's Zoe cameo xD.
i believe so yes
haha erick dota on zoe in one of the clips!
The cameo appearance
why max E first?
lower cooldown on e, more damage early
why do you max e first before q?
E max gives you less cd allowing you to play more agressive and giving you more mobility that Nilah need the most. Q doesnt change anything expect like 5 more ad per tier.

You should remake this for season 14
Shieldbow?
Nilah performs into high elo?
Depends on support, because this champion inherently relies more on the support playing well
aspiring to be like u
u will be better than me
support tierlist for nilah please
its in the discord ^-^
it's in the discord i cant copy paste it to youtube since it'll be too long
Great! I now know how to play Nilah at Challenger level. Can you help me learn how to play Nilah at Bronze level? 😅
Sure, why not
comment cause why not
i dont speak spanish but i like your videos
thank you
exhausted of twerking
same
WHAT HAPPENED WITH U MY BOY?
dw i am back now (i think)
@@LoLEnryu Finally 🙏
No more teleport Nilah? D=
You still can but there's so much cc and burst in the game that you will rarely not take exhaust/cleanse/barrier
League version is recommended.
male emiru
what do u mean by this
just the name dw u don't suck at games
But I'm currently rank 1 😂😂
😂😂
Still relevant for 13.18?
Yep but probably will be making another video since builds and runes often change as riot updates them
