- Lv 6Ultimate rank 1 at level 6The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Nilah hits it.
- Lv 11Ultimate rank 2 at level 11Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Nilah can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.
