Nilah gains 10% increased effectiveness from healing and 20% from shielding given to her by allied champions. If an ally heals or shields her, they will also gain the increased amount of the shield or heal themselves. If an ally shields or heals themself, Nilah will also gain that additional effect.
Active: Nilah cracks her whip-blade, dealing 0 / 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 (+1.0 total attack damage) physical damage, increased by her critical strike chance. If an enemy unit or structure is hit, Nilah gains 125 attack range and 10-60% attack speed, and her attacks hit in a cone as 100% AD physical damage for 4 seconds.
While active, touching allied champions envelops them in mist, granting the same benefits for 1.5 seconds.
Nilah heals herself and nearby allies by 30-45% of her damage dealt to enemy champions' health, converting any overhealing into a shield for 6 seconds.
