How to Beat Vayne as Nilah (ADC)

Except for rare builds, Nilah deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Vayne deals mainly physical damage (71.12%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Key aspects of the Nilah ADC versus Vayne ADC matchup
