Nilah Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Melee carry build with explosive windows: Nilah does not win by playing a standard front-to-back, but by turning one successful first contact into an exchange the enemy can no longer cleanly close. The build must therefore protect both her arrival on the right timing, the violence of the reset, and the margin needed to survive the answer.
