When facing Illaoi's top counters like Yorick, Singed, Nasus, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. Your core build provides strong damage output. Against tanky counter picks, consider penetration items or percentage-based damage from your situational options to maintain kill pressure. Adapt your final build slots with items like Death's Dance or Spirit Visage based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Illaoi performance.
