Illaoi the Kraken Priestess
Illaoi's powerful physique is dwarfed only by her indomitable faith. As the prophet of the Great Kraken, she uses a huge, golden idol to rip her foes' spirits from their bodies and shatter their perception of reality. All who challenge the “Truth Bearer of Nagakabouros” soon discover Illaoi never battles alone—the god of the Serpent Isles fights by her side.
Prophet of an Elder God
Illaoi and the Vessels she creates spawn Tentacles on nearby impassible terrain. Tentacles swing at spirits, Vessels, and victims of Illaoi's Harsh lesson. Tentacles deal physical damage to enemies hit, and will heal Illaoi if they damage a champion.

MetaBot Tips

- Illaoi is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
- Illaoi has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
- Illaoi tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
- Illaoi has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.

Gameplay Tips
Playing Illaoi
- Tentacles are an immense source of power. Don't fight without them.
- Spirits inherit their target's current health. If making a
- Vessel
- is your goal, try whittling your opponent's health down a bit first to make killing the spirit easier.
- Leap of Faith is best used to follow-up a strong engage or when being engaged upon. Be careful about being the first one into a fight.
Playing Against Illaoi
- Killing Tentacles whenever possible will make it much easier to win a fight against Illaoi.
- When your spirit gets pulled out, fight back if you can. Dealing damage to Illaoi reduces the spirit's duration.
- Avoid grouping up for Leap of Faith to reduce the number of Tentacles available to Illaoi.
