How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Nilah is strongest late game while Zeri peaks late game. Play around your power window.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Range Advantage
Zeri has range advantage. Nilah should look for short trades when Zeri uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Zeri's Weakness
Zeri's main weakness: Short range Q, weak early, needs R stacks. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Nilah Win Condition
Shared XP passive, W dodge autos, R AoE heal
Zeri Win Condition
R speed stacking, kite forever, scale into hypercarry
