Nilah will be champion number 161 on the League of Legends roster. Although there is a trailer where the “shooter” is shown using skills, there has not (yet) been an actual reveal, only a few Leak from Big Bad Bear.

Nilah, the overwhelming joy, will be the 161st character to plow the land of summoners. The champion is the long-awaited “atypical shooter” of the lower lane, equipped with a water whip with a basic attack range of about 400, according to what was collected by Big Bad Bear, youtuber who often brings leaks on the Riot Games moba, not only on champions, but also on skins and events, such as the long-awaited blue essence market.
In any case, the whole kit will not be analyzed, skill by skill, but a summary of what awaits us will be made.
It has already been mentioned that Nilah’s basic attack has a range of 400: to give us an even better idea, it has the same basic attack range as Gnar in mini form. His attack speed will be pretty low, but it will increase (as well as with objects) every time he attacks an enemy (minions, opposing champions, jungle monsters and epic monsters) up to a maximum of 6 times. If attack speed can no longer be gained, the excess values will be converted into bonus on-hit damage.
So, in essence, it will have a gameplay similar to that of Irelia, that is: you load the stacks (charges) of the passive and then jump on the enemy to inflict maximum damage. Exactly: “jump on”, because the lady has a lot of mobility, a sprint, which enhances the next basic attack making it an area attack that will hit all the enemies present in a semicircular area in front of the shooter. Still on this skill, the alleged Q, according to the leaks, there will also be a passive that enhances the next 3 basic attacks after the use of a skill, which, on the 3rd hit which will be the most powerful, will be refunded the 50% of the Q cooldown.
There will be CC, to the champion, to be able to control the most mobile enemies and to keep them within reach of her whip. One of her abilities will be a sort of chain that can be thrown on an enemy: if she is hit, the chain can be re-launched to a second champion, starting no longer from Nilah but from the first enemy champion hit. Once the ability is used for the third time, the “linked” champions from this chain are pulled towards each other while, if the ability is held down on the 3rd recast, Nilah will also be pulled towards the two samples.
Still talking about Crowd Controls, it seems to have one area also on the ulti, the supreme ability of the R, where it will form a sort of “border” around itself that will prevent enemies from going out (only for the first time) by returning them to the center of the circle if they touched the edges.
And now comes the skill they will love so much in competitive. We have seen him with Gwen and her W and will see him again soon (on the PBE it could arrive as early as the release of the next patch, on June 23) has immunity to damage from basic attacks (and the effects they apply, such as the yellow card of Twisted Fate which allows her basic attack to stun opponents) and damage reduction, which she can also pass to allies.
To conclude, it seems that Nilah has respected the expectations of the main adc, a mysterious atypical shooter who brings a wave of freshness to the lower lane. Furthermore, please note that after its official release on live servers, the Udyr rework will arrive within two patches (according to the forecasts of Riot Games and the Leakers), a topic that has already been addressed in a previous article.
