Who Wins
- You win trades pre-6 through superior range and poke with Q, as Illaoi lacks gap closers to punish your positioning.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as her R can turn fights, but you maintain advantage if you avoid fighting in her tentacle zones.
How to Trade
- Use Q poke from max range while staying mobile, then disengage before she can land E or close distance for W trades.
- Never commit to extended trades in her tentacle setup areas, as her sustain and damage will overwhelm you.
Wave Control
- Push waves quickly with Q to deny her farm and force her to use mana clearing under tower.
- Maintain wave control to avoid being frozen on, as being stuck near her tentacles makes you vulnerable to all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight her when she has multiple tentacles around, especially after level 6 when her R can create massive damage zones.
- Avoid getting hit by E at all costs, as the vessel debuff forces you into unfavorable positioning or extended trades.
