Nilah vs Yasuo Counter Pick

Two champions rated 10 for difficulty meet here, and the sample is the smallest part of it: 169 games on patch 16.13.1, enough to show a trend and not enough to treat 61.0% as settled. Nilah wins it. The mechanical reason is reach — 225 against 175 sounds trivial, but it is the difference between Yasuo needing Sweeping Blade to touch her and Nilah simply attacking.

Wind Wall blocks enemy projectiles for four seconds, a punishing tool against long-range marksmen and far less relevant against someone who fights inside 225 units with Formless Blade and Apotheosis. Yasuo’s answer is durability: 2,460 health by level 18 next to her 2,287, 110.2 armor against 98.4, and Way of the Wanderer building a shield whenever he moves. Physical output on both sides makes armor the mutual purchase, and neither finds a magic resist shortcut. Individual fights come down to the order of dashes. Sweeping Blade cannot be recast on the same enemy immediately, so stepping away from the minion wave removes his mobility, and Jubilant Veil then covers his basic attacks and the critical strikes his passive guarantees, though not Steel Tempest itself. Last Breath needs an airborne target, and Apotheosis pulls rather than knocks up, so it hands him nothing. Kit references: Yasuo and Nilah.
