Nilah is an ascetic warrior from a distant land, seeking the world's deadliest, most titanic opponents so that she might challenge and destroy them. Having won her power through an encounter with the long-imprisoned demon of joy, she has no emotions other than unceasing jubilation—a small price to pay for the vast strength she now possesses. Channeling the demon's liquid form into a blade of unparalleled might, she stands defiant against ancient threats long forgotten.

Ability details

Innate: Whenever Nilah kills a minion, she and the nearest allied champion gain an additional 50% of the experience they would have lost from sharing.
Innate: Whenever a nearby allied champion uses an ability to heal or shield either Nilah or themselves, both they and Nilah receive a bonus amount equal to 7.5% of the healing or 15% of the shielding after a 0.5-second delay. Bonus shielding lasts as long as the shield that triggered the effect, up to a maximum duration of 4 seconds.

Targeting: Passive

Notes

Nilah will gain a portion of all healing and all shielding from nearby allies that activate either of the effects on themselves while she is within range of them.
The same applies to allies that grant Nilah a heal or shield; they gain a portion of the heal or shield given to her by them, even if the heal or shield affects both units.
Heal and shields granted by items, runes, and summoner spells will not trigger the increased amount.
The heal and shield increases do not trigger from their own heal or shield.
Nilah may still gain a shield from her allies' shields even if they are longer than 4 seconds, but the buff of the shield will only last for up to 4 seconds.
Nilah can receive a normal shield from nearby allies that gain physical or magic shields.
