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 Lee Sin
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Step up when he misses Q
Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.
- Spread out from your allies
In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.
- Watch your early jungle
Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Lee Sin is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
