1,290Kog'Maw
Kog'Maw heavily out-damages Nilah by 301 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nilah should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Kog'Maw's sustained damage advantage take over.
