League of Legends, a multiplayer online combat arena video game developed and released by Riot Games in 2009, has risen to the top of the industry in recent years. They've made their mark on players' hearts by constantly pumping out new material, with the developers usually releasing a new update within a certain time limit and introducing a new champion with it.
Riot Games, for example, has released numerous fantastic champions this year, including Zeri, Renata, and Bel'Veth with more planned for the future. After Bel'Veth, we now have the next playable bot laner champion - League of Legends Nilah in the lineup.
Back in September 2021 Champion Roadmap, Riot revealed that 4 new champions are planned for a 2022 launch, from which Zeri, Renata Glasc, and BelVeth have already been revealed, making space for our next bot lane, rumored to be called Nilah.
Earlier, devs dropped some teasers on the next LoL bot lane, and then recently we got some leaked info on LoL Nilah, however, now we have a fresh leak detailing the League of Legends Nilah abilities.
So, let's get into the details about this upcoming LoL bot laner character: Nilah abilities, leaks, and more.

[UPDATED]: League of Legends Nilah - new ADC bot laner, abilities, release date, teaser, leaks
-------------------------
League of Legends bot laner - Nilah
In the most recent League of Legends Champion Roadmap April 2022, Riot talked about the final 'unconventional' bot lane champion to be introduced in the game. Small facts about the champion have previously been given, but this time the teaser was just an image for the new bot lane champion.
"The champion is likely to be a female bot laner that will shake up the meta," said Ryan "Reav3" Mireles, the lead champion producer, who presented the teaser art of the next LoL bot laner, implying that she has multiple hands and is tied to water in some way.
However, aside from a few hand gestures and watery effects, the LoL Nilah teaser image doesn't reveal much.

Now, giving some relief to the fans who were eagerly anticipating some news on the new LoL bot laner, BigBadBear on Twitter revealed that the new bot laner's name will be Nilah. The Arabic word 'Nilah' refers to a flower known as a 'Water Hyacinth', as a result, her affinity for water is understandable.
It is a given that a mere name and a teaser art don't reveal anything about LoL Nilah's abilities, again, we have leaks giving the detailed info on League of Legends Nilah Abilities.

League of Legends bot laner - Nilah Abilities
Riot hasn't revealed any details on the League of Legends' new bot laner skills or gameplay. She will, however, possess some scary abilities.
Another reliable source, Ryscu (@Ryscu), previously created a video claiming that the upcoming LoL Bot Laner champion will be similar to a 'Water Yasuo.' One of her major powers, similar to Yasuo's Q, will be one of her main abilities. She will be able to perform it three times, just like Yasuo, however, the hitbox will alter with each cast.
However, now we have new leaks from @BigBadBear_, who is known for dropping precise information prior to the official release, and recently tweeted a video detailing League of Legends' Nilah abilities.
- LoL Nilah ability - Passive: Iridiscent Inertia
Nilah has a very low attack speed scaling (.3). However, it increases upon hitting an enemy up to six times. If Nilah gains additional attack speed beyond the cap, then the same is converted to on-hit damage.
- LoL Nilah ability - Q: Nacre Slash
Active: This ability allows Nilah to dash onto a target and empower her next attack in the process. This empowerment enables Nilah to hit a target twice and creates an arc-shaped attack centered on her target, damaging nearby enemies. The second strike of Nilah’s empowered double-hit marks all nearby enemies and then damages them after a brief delay. The damage number of the second hit depends on the number of targets that have been marked.
Passive: Whenever Nilah casts an ability, her subsequent three attacks will deal bonus damage. The third attack will deal double damage and will refund 50% of her Q’s cooldown.

- LoL Nilah ability - W: Tide Bubble
Nilah can throw a water orb in any target direction. Upon hitting a champion or terrain, this water orb will explode, which in turn will damage and slow down nearby enemies. However, this explosion also creates a kind of mist that extends around all-terrain and champions who have been hit.
The effect lasts 10 seconds, but it will dissipate around four seconds after an allied champion enters the bounds. Champions will be unable to use auto attacks inside this mist.
- LoL Nilah ability - E: Reluctant Friendship
Nilah uses her whip and extends her towards the target direction. Once this whip hits an enemy, it tethers them with Nilah for four seconds. The whip will break beyond the distance of 1000 units.
Recast 1: Nilah can extend her whip and allow it to move in another target’s direction. This whip can once again hit another target or terrain and create a second tether. Once that happens, Nilah will be granted a second recast.
Recast 2: If Nilah taps E, then the tethered targets are pulled into each other. If the targets are champions, then they get stunned upon collision. When the targets strike, it will also damage and slow them down. However, if Nilah holds E, she will also get drawn into the location of the targets.
- LoL Nilah ability - R: Promise of the Ocean
Nilah creates a circular-shaped elastic arena that lasts seven seconds or until she remains inside. Nilah will attack anyone inside the arena irrespective of her range. Enemies who try to escape it will be pushed inside the arena. The walls of this arena will act as terrain that Nilah can use to land her W and E abilities. Nilah also gains bonus movement speed and ignores collisions as long as she is inside this arena.
Riot can't reveal that information because her kit is still in development, and it's too early for anyone to predict with any real certainty. And while the developers haven't revealed any specific bot laner - Nilah abilities, one thing is clear she will be quite skill-expressive.

League of Legends Nilah release date
Later in League of Legends Season 12, the 161st Champion: bot laner - Nilah will be released, as per the information revealed by Riot.
Nilah's first skin, according to BigBadBear, will be a Star Guardian Nilah skin. So, if the rumors are true, Nilah will be released very soon, and talking about what Reav3 said on LoL's new Bot laner release, he simply mentioned: "later this year".
The Star Guardian 2022 Event will hopefully begin with Patch 12.13, however, if the Star Guardian event is split into two patches, Nilah will be launched in Patch 12.13 or 12.14.
The dates are July 13 and July 27 for patch 12.13 and 12.14, so these could be the potential League of Legends Nilah release date.
However, an exact patch and Nilah release date have yet to be determined. Also, it is important to remember that the leaked Nilah kit is not confirmed as the leaker himself mentioned that the leak has come from rumors.
