Build Comparison
ArmorSpeedHealthADMR
This Illaoi durable frontliner build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends. Its 52.0% win rate comes from only 494 games, so treat it as an observation rather than a proven edge. The build's key strengths include strong physical damage mitigation and substantial health pool for survivability. This tanky Illaoi build works best when your team lacks frontline presence. You can absorb damage and create opportunities for your carries to deal damage. The armor in this build makes it effective against AD-heavy enemy compositions with champions like assassins or marksmen. With a total gold cost of 15,450, this Illaoi build scales into the late game. Focus on farming efficiently and reaching your Iceborn Gauntlet, Thornmail, and Black Cleaver power spike before taking major fights. For optimal results with this Illaoi build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.
