Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 as Illaoi's Q poke and E pull into W slam chunks you heavily while you lack damage to respond meaningfully.
- Post-6 you still struggle in extended fights as her R creates a zone you cannot effectively contest with your damage over time kit.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves W slowing her, running through minions with Q poison trail, then immediately disengaging before she can land E or extended trades.
- Never commit to extended trades as her sustain and burst damage will overwhelm your poison damage.
Wave Control
- Focus on proxy farming behind her tower or fast-pushing waves to roam, as you cannot effectively freeze or trade in lane.
- Use your mobility to avoid her E pulls and create map pressure rather than trying to win the 1v1.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never get hit by her E spirit grab as the follow-up damage will force you out of lane or kill you outright.
- Avoid fighting near walls or in jungle corridors where her R tentacles have maximum effectiveness.
