How to win lane as Ashe against Nilah · 51.66% win rate over 1,444 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ashe | Level 1 is yours because you poke the melee Nilah every time she approaches a minion. |
| Level 2 | Ashe | Level 2 stays yours as W keeps chunking her out of CS range. |
| Level 3 | Ashe | Level 3 favours you since Q punishes her hard whenever she's stuck at auto range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ashe | Levels 4-5 are still yours because she can't trade back before her ult and dashes come online. |
| Level 6 | Nilah | Level 6 flips to Nilah as Apotheosis enables a healing AoE all-in you can't escape. |
| First item | Nilah | First item favours Nilah since her lifesteal and dash resets win sustained trades through your poke. |
| Two+ items | Nilah | Two-plus items stays Nilah's as her mobility and teamfight healing beat your kiting if she reaches you. |
You crush Nilah early: she is a melee ADC, so levels 1-4 your W (Volley) and Frost Shot punish her every single time she steps up for a last-hit, and Q shreds her if she lingers in range. Zone her off CS and build a lead before her power spikes arrive.
