Playing as Lillia
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Hecarim
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Leave the landing point of his R
When he casts Onslaught of Shadows (R), move away from the end of his dash: the shockwave there fears every nearby enemy, longer after a long run.
- Save your CC for his charge
If you have a slow or CC, save it for Devastating Charge (E): he gains speed as he runs, and Warpath (passive) turns it into AD.
- Save your burst for after his W
Wait for Spirit of Dread (W) to end before your burst: while it lasts, he gains armor and magic resist and heals from damage dealt around him.
- Ward his gank paths
Ward his gank paths: Devastating Charge (E) gains speed over time, so he looks to build momentum in the fog of war.
