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 Master Yi

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't run alone from his R

    Against Highlander (R), don't run alone: regroup with your team, because he gains speed and ignores slows.

  2. CC him after his Alpha Strike

    If you have CC other than a slow, land it right after Alpha Strike (Q): during the strike, he's untargetable, and Highlander (R) ignores slows.

  3. Interrupt his Meditate

    If you have CC, interrupt Meditate (W): he channels it to heal, more at low health, and to reduce the damage he takes.

  4. Pressure his jungle early

    Put pressure on his jungle early on: Master Yi is strongest once he has his items, and each stolen camp delays him.
