Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Illaoi's sustain and zone control, but can poke safely with autos.
- Post-6 you can outplay her R with proper positioning and Q mobility, but getting hit by E near walls is often death.
How to Trade
- Use short auto-Q-auto trades when her E is down, then immediately back off before she can respond with W-Q.
- Never commit to extended trades unless you can guarantee a wall condemn or she's very low.
Wave Control
- Freeze waves near your tower to force Illaoi to overextend for CS, making her vulnerable to ganks and limiting her E angles.
- Avoid pushing unless you can crash and recall as she clears waves too efficiently.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight near walls where she can condemn you into them, and don't stand in minion waves where her Q hits multiple targets.
- Most importantly, respect her E range and never let her pull your spirit near terrain.
