Twitch vs Nilah

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Twitch wins by punishing Nilah's short-range all-ins with stealth and ranged poke.
Nilah controls short trades and wave near her side; Twitch needs time to scale safely.
This lane turns on Twitch avoiding early all-ins and exploiting Nilah's vulnerability to poke outside her range.

Trading pattern

Punish Nilah's last-hit attempts when she steps up without support zoning or engage threat.
Use (W) slow plus autos to stack poison and force Nilah back before she can use (W) to block autos.
Avoid trades when (W) is active, as it negates your auto damage and retaliation windows.

Danger windows

Respect (W) auto-block duration when she commits to all-ins; avoid trading autos then.
Avoid stepping into engage range when Nilah's support can follow up immediately after your (Q) reveal.
Be cautious when (R) is up, especially if she and support can trap you near minions or walls.

Early game

Hold the wave near your tower to force Nilah closer, reducing her dash threat.
Use (Q) stealth to threaten surprise autos when Nilah steps up for caster minions.
Avoid extended trades before level 6; focus on last-hitting and punishing overextensions only if support threat is low.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) spike lets Twitch open from stealth and hit multiple targets in grouped fights.
First completed marksman item improves Twitch's poke and all-in threat, enabling safer lane pressure.
Two-item stealth spike turns Twitch into a potent flank threat, forcing Nilah to respect vision denial and positioning.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by avoiding direct trades and punishing Nilah's greedy CS attempts.
Use stealth and (R) to create picks or clean up fights around dragon or turret plates.
Convert CS leads and item spikes into pressure by crashing waves and forcing Nilah under turret before objectives.
