Nilah - the Joy Unbound

Nilah is a new Teamfight Tactics champion. She was designed to fight compositions that have a lot of shielding, as her spell allows her to steal shields! She can be a powerful carry-around Lagoon and Assassin comps!

Nilah is considered the primary carry in Teamfight Tactics Set 7.5 as the four-cost Lagoon carry. Using her Slipstream spell, Nilah cracks her whip-blade at her target, dashing through them and dealing a percent of her Attack Damage. 

If this does damage to a shield, she steals a percent of the damage she deals to it. If her target is shielded or killed, she instantly recasts. Riot Games assigned Lagoon and Assasin traits to Nilah. 

  • Damage: 275 / 400 / 800
  • Shield Steal: 50% / 75% / 100%

It is always a must to combine Nilah with other Assassins, as it gives her more Critical Strike chance and more Critical Damage.  Assassins’ Abilities can critically strike and they gain bonus damage.

  • 2 Assassins - 20% Crit Chance & 10% Crit Damage
  • 4 Assassins - 40% Crit Chance & 25% Crit Damage
  • 6 Assasssins - 75% Crit Chance & 75% Crit Damage

The best items for Nilah are for sure the Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge, and Last Whisper. Bloodthirster is very useful because it gives Nilah a shield when she drops down to 40% Health. The shield lasts up to five seconds.

Infinity Edge grants 10% Critical Strike Damage and when you equip this item on Nilah, her Magic and True damage abilities can critically strike.

Last Whisper grants a 10% bonus Attack Speed. Dealing physical damage reduces the target’s Armor by 50% for 5 seconds. This effect does not stack.

Nilah became a must-have champion when you are playing the Built Different augment. Nilah works best with Lagoon and Darkflight comps.
