This is Miss Fortune's own plan; across 2,397 pooled games the lane is leaning Nilah.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Miss Fortune | Level 1 your ranged autos punish a melee Nilah who must walk into you to farm. |
| Level 2 | Miss Fortune | Level 2 E and Q let you poke and zone her off the wave freely. |
| Level 3 | Miss Fortune | Level 3 your range and Make It Rain slow keep her from safe last-hits. |
| Levels 4-5 | Miss Fortune | Levels 4-5 you continue to out-poke her while she has no ranged answer. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even — her W dodge and lifesteal ult trade evenly with your Bullet Time. |
| First item | Nilah | At first item Nilah's lifesteal and dodge let her out-sustain your poke. |
| Two+ items | Nilah | At 2+ items her sustain and vacuum ult out-value you in extended fights. |
Levels 1-2 your range is a free advantage over a melee Nilah — auto and Q her whenever she steps to CS, and drop E to slow her approach so she bleeds health just trying to farm. She has to come to you, so drop Make It Rain in front of her and the approach costs health before it arrives. Poke with the bounce while she is still walking. Keep the wave central so there is no bush she can close from, and never let the exchange become one she chose the range for.
