How to Play Lillia

Champion-specific pre-match tips

Lane Phase

Stack your passive movement speed by clipping the minion wave with Q before walking forward to trade.

Lane Phase

Cast W only after landing an E slow or when the enemy locks into an attack animation to guarantee the center damage.

Lane Phase

Space your Q cast to hit enemies with the outer edge, dealing true damage while keeping you outside their retaliation range.

Mid Game

Build maximum movement speed stacks by hitting nearby jungle camps or minion waves with Q immediately before rotating to an objective fight.

Mid Game

Throw E down narrow jungle corridors to apply your passive to multiple targets before casting your ult to trigger a mass sleep.

Mid Game

Kite the closest enemy with Q until you apply your passive to a priority backline target, then press ult to force the engage.

Late Game

Flash forward to hit the enemy backline with Q, instantly cast your ult, and run out of range while the sleep takes effect.

Late Game

Delay your W cast on a sleeping priority target until the sleep duration is almost over to guarantee the massive center damage without wasting the crowd control duration.

Late Game

Roll E into unwarded Baron or Dragon pits to scout the area and instantly cast your ult if you see your passive apply to a priority target.

Lillia's Weaknesses
