Who Wins
- You win trades levels 1-3 by using Q1-Q2-E combo then dashing away before Illaoi can retaliate effectively.
- At level 6, you lose all-ins if Illaoi lands E and has tentacles nearby, so you need to respect her zone control and look for short trades.
How to Trade
- You should Q1-Q2-E combo then immediately dash away to avoid her W retaliation and tentacle slams.
- Never commit to extended trades unless Illaoi has missed her E, as her sustain will overwhelm you in longer fights.
Wave Control
- You want to freeze the wave on your side to deny Illaoi farm and force her to overextend for CS where you can punish with short trades.
- Avoid pushing into her as she becomes much stronger when fighting in her tentacle zones.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Illaoi when she has multiple tentacles around and her ultimate available, as you'll get overwhelmed by the damage and healing.
- Don't get hit by her E in lane as the spirit damage will chunk you heavily and give her lane control.
