MetaBot Tips
  • Lillia secures less objectives than most champions. Your value may be better oriented towards helping other champions secure objectives.
  • Lillia steals less objectives than other junglers, and may struggle in last hitting objectives compared to other jungling champions.
  • Lillia has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover through self-healing.
  • Lillia has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Lillia has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.
