Playing as Lillia

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hit with the edge of your Q

    Hit with the edge of Blooming Blows (Q), not the center: only the outer edge adds true damage.

  2. Stack your speed, then kite

    Hit enemies with your spells and keep your distance: Blooming Blows (Q) gives you a stack of move speed on each hit, enough to kite and dodge.

  3. Start with your seed

    Start the fight from range with Swirlseed (E): it damages, slows and reveals, and if it hits nothing, it rolls on to the first enemy or wall.

  4. Mark them all before your R

    Before Lilting Lullaby (R), hit as many enemies as you can: Dream-Laden Bough (passive) marks every target of your spells, and only marked ones fall asleep.

Playing against Cho'Gath

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep moving

    Keep moving against him: Rupture (Q) strikes an area on the ground, and an enemy standing still takes a knock-up, damage and a slow.

  2. Punish him while he farms

    Punish him when he goes for last hits: Carnivore (passive) restores health and mana for each unit he kills, and he lasts a long time in lane if you let him farm.

  3. Keep your distance if you can

    If you have range, keep your distance: his kit has no dash, only the slows from Rupture (Q) and Vorpal Spikes (E).

  4. Beware Feast at low health

    Don't stay in melee range at low health when Feast (R) is up: its true damage ignores your resistances, even if you're a tank.
