Xin Zhao Early Game
Nilah bot lane is skirmisher ADC — mobility + burst. Start Doran's Blade or Doran's Ring + 3 pots. Q-poke during lane phase.
Level 2 spike with W or E for engage. Nilah dives squishies — your kill threshold is 60%+ HP. Track jungler — skirmishers die to coordinated CC.
Mid Game
Mythic + Berserker's Greaves is your spike. Nilah dives squishies — roam side lanes with E for pickoffs.
Manamune (Ezreal) or Galeforce path. Long Sword 3-item path for lethality damage. Pick off ADC/mid in skirmishes — burst threshold = 50%+ HP.
Late Game
Mobile carry. Stand 600+ behind frontline. Dash through frontline to dive ADC/mid. Guardian Angel last item = revive after dive.
Mortal Reminder vs healing. Edge of Night vs CC chain. Bloodthirster sustain in extended fights.
Win Condition
Win lane → dive backline 5v5 → carry pickoffs. Nilah scales harder than melees, weaker than dedicated hyper carries.
Win: 50%+ KP + 3+ ADC kills. Lose to: hard-engage on you (Malphite R, J4 R).
Power Spikes
Level 2 — Q + W or E unlocked. Level 6 — R for kill confirmation. Mythic (1st item) — gap-close + first-item AS spike. Berserker's Greaves — AS for AA-heavy kit. Level 11 — R rank 2 + 3 items. Serylda's Grudge (3rd-4th item) — armor pen vs tanks.
Tips & Combos
Combos:
- Q (poke) -> auto -> W or E proc = chunk damage
- Galeforce dash + R combo = surprise burst
- AA reset abilities preserve DPS
Anti-tips:
- Don't dive without team setup — ranged ADs are squishy
- Don't AA in melee — kite at max range
- Don't waste R on missed positioning — wait for clean shot
Pro tricks:
- TP behind enemy team for flanking burst
- Lethal Tempo stacks during sustained DPS
- Ult priority on enemy ADC, not tanks
