Read from Nilah's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Miss Fortune.
This is Nilah's own plan; across 2,397 pooled games the lane is leaning Nilah.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even before Miss Fortune's Double Up poke ramps. |
| Level 2 | Miss Fortune | At level 2 her Q bounce and Love Tap out-poke your melee approach. |
| Level 3 | Miss Fortune | Level 3 Make It Rain zoning keeps you off the wave in her favour. |
| Levels 4-5 | Miss Fortune | Through 4-5 her sustained poke and slow still control the lane. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Apotheosis at 6 lets you heal through Bullet Time and even the fight. |
| First item | Nilah | Your first crit item lets you E onto immobile MF and take over. |
| Two+ items | Nilah | Two items plus healing overwhelm her burst in every trade. |
Level 1 is even, but Miss Fortune's Double Up and Love Tap passive give her a painful early poke once she hits 2-3. Don't stand behind a low minion she can bounce Q off, W her poke when you must step up, and farm patiently rather than forcing a losing trade. Never stand behind a low minion where her bounce is free, and take the whip last-hits from the side of the wave instead. Jubilant Veil is for her poke rotation, not for your approach. Once the dash is up, her disengage is the only thing that saves her, so make her spend it first.
