Complete superiority: Nilah dominates both win rate (53.4%) and damage output (819 vs 747/min, 2nd among ADC). The 72 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential.

The Nilah versus Varus matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Nilah deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Varus deals mainly physical damage (70.38%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Nilah is higher farming statistics (ranked 9th among role champions) (versus 21st for Varus), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Nilah player to maintain constant pressure on Varus, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
