Who Wins

  • You dominate pre-6 with superior range, poke damage, and mobility to avoid Illaoi's limited engage tools.
  • Post-6 you still win if you respect her E range and don't get caught in extended fights near multiple tentacles.

How to Trade

  • Your optimal trading pattern is to poke with ranged Q, then immediately reposition to avoid her E while the cooldown is down.
  • When her E is on cooldown, you can commit to harder trades with hammer form combo, but always have an escape plan before tentacles can respond.

Wave Control

  • You want to maintain slow pushes or freezes to keep the wave in positions where Illaoi can't establish tentacle control around her tower.
  • Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall immediately, as returning to lane against established tentacles is very difficult.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never fight extended trades near multiple tentacles or when her E is available, as even small mistakes can lead to massive damage swings.
  • Don't get greedy chasing kills into her jungle-side where she likely has tentacle setups from previous waves.
