Soraka<\/h3> Soraka, the Starchild, gave up her immortality to save mortals from violence. By fighting, I guess. Image via Riot Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Soraka is a powerful healer, and that’s definitely what Soraka players should lean into when working alongside Nilah. While Nilah is in the thick of things, Soraka players will want to hang back. In fact, hiding behind her allies is Nilah’s specialty. Despite that hanging back, you’ll want to remain close enough to use Astral Infusion (W) for healing Nilah and both Equinox (E) and Starcall (Q) to silence and slow enemies respectively.<\/p>
As a bonus, enemy champions hit by Starcall will heal Soraka which just makes Astral Infusion ready to go more often. Finally, Soraka’s ultimate Wish (R) will be the icing on the cake for keeping Nilah as healed as possible.<\/p>
Pros:<\/strong><\/p>
Nilah’s passive shield and heal benefits Soraka.<\/li>
When Soraka heals Nilah, Soraka is also heals herself.<\/li>
Increase damage output.<\/li> <\/ul>
Cons:<\/strong><\/p>
Losing engagement with enemy team.<\/li> <\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

But, with a meta that shifts with each patch, which supports are best? Here are a few of the best champions players can use alongside Nilah in the support role to bring out the true potential of the Joy Unbound. Best Nilah supports in League When it comes to picking a support for Nilah, you'll want to choose either an enchanter or a tank. If you can give Nilah plenty of healing or shields, she'll be able to go in and do the melee damage that she does best. Luckily, Nilah also has plenty of abilities at her fingertips that allow her to stay alive while dealing immense amounts of damage, including the unique trait of keeping up in experience with her lane opponent while needing fewer minions to do so. Yuumi In addition to being totally adorable, Yuumi is possibly the best support for a melee-focused character like Nilah. Yuumi is a healer and shielder, and as long as you're attached to Nilah using You and Me! (W), you'll be Nilah's little travel buddy who offers constant support. When you're attached, you'll want to use Zoomies (E) to grant attack speed, movement speed, and a shield to Nilah. That's one of the most powerful support moves in Yuumi's arsenal. If someone's trying to escape from a scrap with you and Nilah, your Prowling Projectile (Q) is a great way to slow down Nilah's prey. Pros: Healer and shielder Offers constant support Grants attack\/movement speed and a shield Cons: Has a lower difficulty than Nilah Losing a great deal of engage potential. Rakan Nilah is all about jumping into a teamfight and causing as much havoc as possible in a short matter of time. Not many other champions in League embody that goal in a similar vein quite like Rakan, who can jump right in alongside Nilah with Grand Entrance (W) while keeping her alive and dashing across the battlefield with Battle Dance (E). Together, they have the potential to combine for one of the most lightning-fast duos in League. Pros: When paired with Nilah, gains increased damage output Has high mobility together Cons: Nilah does not present much protection to Rakan Losing engagement to the sides Thresh The Thresh\/Nilah combo is one that obviously works really well together. Thresh is able to hold down enemies and gives Nilah just the right amount of time to do enough damage. When Nilah is in a pinch, Thresh is able to peel her if she is about to die with the lantern. Speaking of damage, having Thresh on the same team as Nilah will offer a small increase to their complete damage output and take less damage. They, together are powerful bot lane intensive as they can deal massive damage and when using The Box (R), Thresh is able to slow down enemies, allowing Nilah to wreak havoc on targets and build her ultimate.\u00a0 Pros: When paired with Nilah, Death Sentence and Flay can be used for high-powered combination attacks. Increase in damage output. Cons: Has a lower difficulty than Nilah. Will not be able to provide the team with much magic damage. Milio There aren't many champions that Milio doesn't pair well with, and Nilah certainly doesn't break that rule. The Gentle Flame has everything Nilah needs to survive and thrive in lane: a heal over time, shields, movement speed boosts, and an area-of-effect cleanse. Combine that with his ability to increase Nilah's short range and make her attacks deal extra chip damage, and suddenly a champion that wants to scale as the game goes on turns into an offensive threat that may reach that snowball position sooner rather than later. Pros: Possesses heals and shields that accompany Nilah's passives Increases Nilah's short-range attacks Abilities can cause burn damage Cons: Ult-ing requires Milio to walk up to Nilah Constantly nerfed Senna Senna and Nilah can combine their skills to make for a high-damage bot lane duo\u2014one that relies on burst damage and fast-paced skirmishes to do away with their opponents. It's their combined utility that makes the Nilah\/Senna combo relatively strong, however. For example, the combination of Nilah\u2019s Jubilant Veil (W) and Senna\u2019s Curse of the Black Mist (E) can keep the pair relatively safe from aggression or incoming damage at the start or back end of a laning phase skirmish. Pros: Has great combinations of powers including Jubilent Veil and Black Mist Has high damage output Cons: Has a lower difficulty than Nilah Losing engagement to the sides Nami The water-based duo of Nilah and Nami is not only thematically strong, but the pair also has its strengths in lane. Nami is one of the most effective healers in the game, which is great for Nilah, who\u2019s likely going to receive plenty of abuse and general harassment from ranged ADCs. Nami is a great choice for keeping Nilah alive and quickly moving, as well as for enhancing her damage in team fights and skirmishes through Tidecaller\u2019s Blessing (E). Plus, the CC effects imposed by Nilah\u2019s ultimate, Apotheosis, allow Nami players to easily hit their Tidal Wave (R)\/Aqua Prison (Q) combo.\u00a0 Pros: Strong and strategic synergy pair Have increased damage output Cons: Takes more damage than when each champion is played alone Losing 'tankyness' Soraka Soraka is a powerful healer, and that's definitely what Soraka players should lean into when working alongside Nilah. While Nilah is in the thick of things, Soraka players will want to hang back. In fact, hiding behind her allies is Nilah's specialty. Despite that hanging back, you'll want to remain close enough to use Astral Infusion (W) for healing Nilah and both Equinox (E) and Starcall (Q) to silence and slow enemies respectively. As a bonus, enemy champions hit by Starcall will heal Soraka which just makes Astral Infusion ready to go more often. Finally, Soraka's ultimate Wish (R) will be the icing on the cake for keeping Nilah as healed as possible. Pros: Nilah's passive shield and heal benefits Soraka. When Soraka heals Nilah, Soraka is also heals herself. Increase damage output. Cons: Losing engagement with enemy team.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Coven_Nilah.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619434"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=619434"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619434\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1088841,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619434\/revisions\/1088841"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/978511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=619434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=619434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=619434"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=619434"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=619434"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=619434"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=619434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
