Strategy
With the recent buff to 5 Bilgewater, we're going to build a board similar to the popular Nilah carry composition with Aatrox, Gangplank, and Sion that's floating around. With the difference that instead we are going to aim for 5 Bilgewater.
Ideal Board at Level 8
Tips
- TF is the best Legend to take since getting the rights items on Nilah is very important and powerful.
- Itemization priority is Nilah > Primary tank (Sej pref) > Gangplank > Secondary tank (Utility items pref)
- You can TF as a decent item holder for GP, or MF but you'd have to get an aditional MF later if you don't have a remover.
- At level 9 or if you have an extra spot on the board you can add Heimer, Sion or Aatrox.
- If you get Bilgewater +1 use it on Jarvan preferably.
- This comp plays best as Fast 8.
Early Board 1
If you manage to, board 5 Bilgewater earlygame, use TF as the item holder for Nilah and Illaoi as the item holder for Sejuani, at level 6 board any unit that completes one of the inactive sinergies you'll have from this 5 Bilgewater board.
Early Board 2
If you can get this board early on, use Jhin as your item holder for Nilah items and Sett as the tank item holder. Situationally you can use WW as the carry item holder if you happen to upgrade him first.
Augments
- Silver, Gold, Prismatic TF Pandora Items.
- Scoped Weapons.
- Item Grab Bag II.
- You Have My Bow.
- Teaming Up II.
- Healing Orbs.
-
If you get Scoped Weapons, you can replace one of the RFCs Nilah and replace it with Bloodthirster, Titan's Resolver or Death Blade, depending on the situation.
-
You can also replace Giant Slayer for a defensive option if you're going against 3 star Rogues that jump to the backlane and can potentially kill Nilah

Good luck, have fun!
