Nilah vs Zeri

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Nilah wins short trades with (W) blocking Zeri's autos and follow-up all-ins with (R).
Zeri controls extended fights with terrain mobility and poke; Nilah must force fights before (R).
Keep wave near your side to punish Zeri's last-hit paths and deny her safe scaling.

Trading pattern

Hit Zeri during last-hit animations when (W) is up to block her auto retaliation.
Avoid punishing if enemy support controls brush or can immediately trade back.
Use (Q) extended range to poke safely before committing to all-ins with (E) and (R).

Danger windows

Avoid stepping forward when (E) dash is available for escape or counter-engage.
Respect enemy support presence controlling brush or river to deny your all-in follow-up.
Beware of (W) poke angles through walls that punish predictable CS paths or overextensions.

Early game

Use first three waves to hold the wave near your tower to reduce (E) dash safety.
Punish Zeri stepping up for caster minion last hits only if enemy support cannot counter-engage.
Track enemy support position to decide when to commit with (E) and (W) for all-in windows.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets Nilah turn support engages into kills by pulling multiple targets.
First completed marksman item enables Nilah to threaten kills safely in short-range all-ins.
Respect Zeri's level 6 (R) extended fight power by disengaging before she stacks movement and damage.

Win conditions

Survive early lane with support help, then use (W) and (R) to win committed all-ins.
Convert health leads into crashing waves to deny Zeri plates and force recalls.
Use bot lane priority from kills or pressure to secure dragon vision and setup objectives.

Tip: For Nilah vs Zeri, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
