| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | At level 1 your Mystic Shot punishes a rangeless melee Nilah for free. |
| Level 2 | Ezreal | At level 2 you keep poking her off the wave before her kit comes online. |
| Level 3 | Ezreal | At level 3 you zone her off cannons while she can't answer your range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ezreal | Through levels 4-5 your poke still controls the melee matchup pre-ult. |
| Level 6 | Nilah | At level 6 Apotheosis plus gap-close and support engage give Nilah the all-in. |
| First item | Nilah | On her first item lifesteal turns Nilah into a drain tank that beats your poke. |
| Two+ items | Nilah | Into two-plus items Nilah's teamfight ult and lifesteal dive outscale your kite. |
Levels 1-4 are your entire advantage: Nilah is melee, so hammer her with Mystic Shot every time she creeps up to farm, zone her off cannons with blue card, and push so she can't safely last-hit.
