Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Illaoi's superior base damage and sustain from Q healing.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R engage potential, but only if you can avoid fighting in her tentacle zones.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve E forward, Q3-W combo, then immediately E back to safety before she can respond with W-Q.
- Never commit to extended trades without your E escape available.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave frozen near your tower to limit her tentacle setup and force her to overextend for CS.
- Avoid pushing into her as she controls long lanes extremely well with tentacle placement.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight her when she has multiple tentacles nearby, especially after she lands E on you.
- The spirit damage amplification combined with tentacle slams will outdamage your sustain and kill potential.
