Nilah vs Ezreal

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Nilah wins by punishing Ezreal's forced last-hit steps and all-in after support engages.
Ezreal controls lane with poke and (E) safety, so Nilah must farm protected and time engages.
The lane turns on wave state: Nilah wants a short lane near her side to all-in safely.

Trading pattern

Punish Ezreal when he steps up for last hits on caster minions if enemy support can't punish.
Use (W) to block Ezreal's auto retaliation during all-ins initiated with support engage.
Avoid trading if (E) is up and support controls brush or zone, as punish risks are high.

Danger windows

Ezreal is dangerous when (E) is available to dodge engage or chase low targets; avoid committing without support.
Be cautious when enemy support controls brush or zones aggressively, denying your all-in or last-hit punish windows.
Avoid trading when (Q) is unblocked by minions, as poke damage can force you off the wave.

Early game

Use the first three waves to avoid (Q) poke by holding near your minions.
Watch for Ezreal stepping out to last-hit caster minions and punish only if support can't counter.
Avoid using (E) forward without support follow-up to reduce (E) counterplay window.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for multi-target pulls; commit with support to force kills before Ezreal can reposition.
First completed marksman item lets Nilah turn short-range engages into kill threats; force fights when enemy poke is down.
Respect Ezreal's first item spike where his (Q) poke and (E) reposition make him safer to farm and contest objectives.

Win conditions

Convert health leads from all-ins into crashing waves to deny Ezreal CS and take turret plates.
Use support engage windows combined with (W) and (R) to force recalls or kills before dragon setups.
Scale through protected farming and item spikes to out-DPS Ezreal in grouped fights where (R) locks targets down.
