Illaoi Counter Build Advice
When facing Illaoi's top counters like Mordekaiser, Jax, Ambessa, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize magic resistance items against AP threats in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Focus on completing your core damage items before heavily investing in defensive situational items, as Illaoi needs sufficient damage to remain a threat in counter matchups. Adapt your final build slots with items like Sterak's Gage or Sundered Sky based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Illaoi performance.
