How to Beat Sivir as Nilah (ADC)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Nilah deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Sivir deals mainly physical damage (95.84%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Sivir, ranking 1st (versus 7th for Nilah) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Nilah ADC versus Sivir ADC matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Nilah player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Sivir player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

Playing Against Sivir

  • Boomerang Blade costs a lot of mana to cast, so dodging it sets Sivir back. If it hits you on the way out, avoid its path on the way back.
  • Sivir is a powerful pushing champion, so leaving her unattended in a lane for too long will often result in your turrets being destroyed.
  • When laning against Sivir, it is possible to throw off the timing of her Spell Shield by faking an advance, then backing off.
