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 Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
