Playing as Illaoi

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Fight near walls

    Fight near walls: Prophet of an Elder God (passive) spawns your tentacles there, and each tentacle that hits a champion heals you.

  2. Hit the spirit you pulled

    After Test of Spirit (E), attack the spirit: it echoes part of its damage to its owner, and if it dies, the enemy is slowed and marked for your tentacles.

  3. Ult after the engage

    Cast Leap of Faith (R) in the middle of several enemies, after their engage or your team's: one tentacle spawns per champion hit, untargetable while it lasts.

  4. Recast W during your ult

    During Leap of Faith (R), recast Harsh Lesson (W) as soon as it's back: its cooldown is reduced, and each hit makes every nearby tentacle slam.

Playing against Aurora

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after her W

    Take a trade once Across the Veil (W) is used: it's her spell to vanish, on a 22 to 18 second cooldown unless she takes part in a kill.

  2. Short trades

    Take short trades: every spell or auto that hits you releases a spirit that heals her, through Spirit Abjuration (passive).

  3. Don't fight in her zone

    Don't fight inside Between Worlds (R): she teleports from edge to edge, and crossing the edge slows you. Get out early, with a dash if you have one.
