Who Wins
- You win early trades with rocket poke and can abuse your range advantage, but any landed E from Illaoi means you lose the trade hard.
- Post-6 you must respect her all-in potential and never fight in her R zone.
How to Trade
- Poke with rockets from max range, then switch to minigun for last hits to conserve mana.
- If she lands E, immediately back off and don't try to fight the spirit as you'll take double damage.
Wave Control
- Keep waves in the middle or slightly pushed to maintain your range advantage for poking.
- Avoid getting pushed under tower where you can't effectively harass and become vulnerable to her E-W-Q combo.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight near walls or in jungle corridors where her R becomes unavoidable.
- Don't get baited into trading when she has E available, as the spirit damage will make any extended trade heavily favor her.
