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 Volibear

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take short trades: his second Frenzied Maul (W) on the same target hits harder and heals him based on his missing health.

  2. Cut his charge short with CC

    If you have CC, use it while he charges with Thundering Smash (Q): his stunning hit is canceled, but the spell comes back right away.

  3. Back off after his Thundering Smash

    After his Thundering Smash (Q), keep your distance: until its 12 to 10 second cooldown is over, only Stormbringer (R) can bring him back onto you in one go.

  4. Don't count on your tower

    Once he hits level 6, don't count on your tower when he dives: Stormbringer (R) disables it for a few seconds on landing.
