Illaoi 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 has a much higher early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
- Illaoi has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
- Illaoi has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
- Illaoi has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
- Illaoi 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.
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.
