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 Rek'Sai

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from where she surfaces

    Keep your distance when she's burrowed near you: with Un-burrow (W), enemies near where she surfaces take a knock-up.

  2. Back off when her Fury is full

    Back off when her Fury is full: Furious Bite (E) then deals true damage.

  3. Save your CC for after her Rush

    If you have CC, save it for after Void Rush (R): she's untargetable first, then lunges at her target and can't be stopped.

  4. Destroy her tunnels

    Destroy every Tunnel (E) you find by standing on an entrance: it's a lasting path she reuses to escape or to gank.

  5. Stand still when you're hidden

    When hidden in a brush or the fog of war, stop moving if she's burrowed near you: Burrow (W) only reveals to her team unseen enemies who move.
