Alright, so I’ve been messing around with different supports for Nilah, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I wanted to find that perfect partner to make her shine in the bot lane, you know?
Experimenting with Different Combos
First, I tried some of the usual suspects. Thresh was the first one I picked up. The idea was to hook enemies and let Nilah jump in for the kill. It worked… sometimes. But honestly, it felt a bit clunky. Then, I moved on to Leona. Her stuns are great, yeah, but it didn’t feel like the best fit either. There was just something missing, some extra oomph, you know?

- Tried Thresh: Hooks were okay, but felt a little off.
- Experimented with Leona: Stuns were good, but still not quite right.
- Tested Nami: Her bubbles were nice, but it felt like Nilah needed something more.
The Breakthrough
After a bunch of games, I started thinking about what Nilah really needs. She’s all about getting in close and dealing tons of damage, right? So, she needs someone who can keep her alive while she’s going ham. Then it hit me, what if I tried playing Taric with her? With his heal and stuns, he can protect her and set up plays.
And boom! It was like magic. I mean, seriously, Taric’s kit works so well with Nilah. He can keep her healthy with his heal, stun enemies for her to engage on, and even make her invincible for a few seconds with his ult. It’s crazy good! We started winning lane consistently. Those early skirmishes? We dominated them. Nilah could just go in without fear, knowing Taric had her back.
Why Taric Works So Well
The synergy between these two is just insane. Taric’s W makes him link to Nilah, so whenever he uses his stun, it fires off from both him and Nilah. This makes it super easy to catch enemies off guard. Plus, his heal scales with his bonus health, so he becomes a real beefcake in the late game, just soaking up damage like it’s nothing. And don’t even get me started on his ultimate. That invulnerability? It’s a game-changer. Nilah can dive the enemy backline without a care in the world. They just melt.
Honestly, if you’re playing Nilah, you gotta try Taric as her support. It’s a match made in heaven. You’ll be crushing bot lane in no time. Trust me on this one. It’s seriously a game-changer.
