Hi im V1gorous1, a Challenger samira/nilah two trick (829 lp peak) streamer I have played nilah since release. I feel as though people have a misconception of the champ many people just consider her an adc however she does not play like any other adc shes more of a brusier assassin and accepting this mindset is necessary to mastering the champ ,

Laning Phase
your hardest levels will be lvls 1-2 because that is when you are the weakest and people will try to abuse you. try to stay in xp range without getting hard traded on any lane where you can get the first wave or most of it without nearly dying is great once you hit lvl 2 you can start trying to play up xp I pretty much only all in when im up a level once you get through the early levels take advantage of the extra xp at levels 3 and level 6 to try and catch people off guard. Nilah takes towers extremly fast abuse your q to take plates anytime the enemy is forced to back sometimes I will even commit my r to chunk the enemy adc out and force them to back so i can hit plates.

Teamfighting + Mid-Late Game
teamfighting on this champ is all about weaving in and out of the fight, the most important aspects of teamfighting on this champ is your w usage and r usage generally onless absolutely necessary I do not want to start a fight with my r because its my biggest playmaking tool and its super telegraphed and easy to flash out of, instead I like to play as a followup to someone else or wait till they commit on one of my teammates and use r then. Remember that your r heals all ur teammates that are in it so you can use it to save people, same with your w often times if im playing with an enchanter the enemy will aim them first and I can use them as bait w / r to save my supp while also killing the enemy. You can also dive backline but remember that you are a followup not an engage (in most scenarios)

the bigggest part of doing damage is making sure you are weaving autos in between all your q and e casts that is how you will get max damage out of this champ you only get a couple chances to auto mobile champs after you e so make sure you are weaving in autos between all your e casts.

I hope you enjoyed I plan to update this guide every patch something new changes with nilah (https://op.gg/lol/summoners/na/Viggy-V1g) this is my account if you want to see anything im building or any differnt setups.
