How to Use Nilah Counter Data
This page catalogs the notable Nilah matchups in League of Legends’ ADC role, drawn from ranked win-rate data rather than guesswork. Right now, Xayah, Brand, and Seraphine are the lane opponents who give Nilah the most trouble, and Nilah’s lowest win rates in the current dataset come against them. Xayah is the hardest matchup of all, with Nilah winning only 42.3% of 444 recorded games. Going the other way, Nilah holds up well against Yasuo, Twitch, and Ezreal, so those are the safer matchups to take on.
Every card lists Nilah’s win rate along with the game count behind it. A matchup supported by tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come straight from those win rates: under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is Easy, and everything between is Even. They help with quick scanning but aren’t a separate statistic. The numbers come from ranked games at Emerald and above in all regions, covering patch 16.13.1, and update every 48 hours to keep pace with shifts in the meta. Matchups tell only part of the story, so pair them with the current Nilah build for the best items and runes, or visit the Nilah champion page for ability details and the full profile.
