patch notes

PATCH NOTES


patch 13.8 is out! Lillia is getting a slight buff to her passive.


patch 13.1B Lillia got 3 buffs to her passive, Q and E.
Demonic Embrace got a nerf instead.

patch 12.23 Lillia got a slight nerf to her Q base damage.

in patch 12.22 Lillia got changed from a ranged champion to melee.
huge buff to Conqueror and Demonic Embrace.
which lane?

Lillia top, mid or support?




i have gone through bit of a journey starting with support ⇒ top ⇒ mid.
at the time, Lillia top wasn't in meta and i avoided going into the jungle since i wasn't a big fan of it. that's when i decided to take my beloved to the bot lane as support, expecting bad results. i was surprised to see a good outcome with this unusual pick and with each game i played, i saw more and more potential. however, now that Lillia top is meta; i have been playing her more frequently as a top laner. but i occasionally play Lillia mid.

i will share everything down below!

tips

TIPS ABOUT LILLIA


Lillia is classified as a fighter champion, but her main issue is her lack of tankiness. this means she can't stay in front of fights for too long because she doesn't exactly thrive in long fights, unlike most fighter champions. she fits more into the defensive style rather than offensive, but her high amounts of damage can make up for it with the mechanic of getting in and out of fights consistently.


a big part of League is about maintaining good positioning (in lanes, teamfights, objectives, etc). it's no different with Lillia. she can maneuver around more effectively, thanks to her bonus movement speed. other champions aren't as fortunate and get heavily punished for bad positioning. with this in mind; use the bonus movement speed as an advantage against the enemy team.
pros and cons

PROS

simple kit
low ban and pick rate
high damage
great kiting potential
decent mobility
good ultimate to set up fights

CONS

squishy
difficult to scale if she's far behind
disengages
lack of hard crowd control
weak early game
conqueror (top)
primary runes

compared to all the other keystones in the Precision runepath; Conqueror sticks out and is definitely the best pick for Lillia top.

very valuable pick during the laning phase, due to mana issues early game.
taking Triumph instead is good if you are going to be more aggressive.

lowers the duration of crowd control effects/abilities. it's always good to have bonus tenacity since every champion has some sort of crowd control.

when it comes to choosing between Last Stand and Coup de Grace; it's all up to personal preference. i prefer Last Stand for potential outplays at clutch moments. if you are looking to one shot enemies more efficiently, then consider taking Coup de Grace instead.



secondary runes

a safe pick that can be a lifesaver! especially against poke damage.
take Bone Plating against melee matchups or if you're looking to go all in, but beware of the 55 second cooldown.

gain some slow resist and tenacity depending on your maximum health.

Tenacity and Slow Resist against magic damage.
electrocute (mid)
primary runes

my absolute favorite keystone to take as Lillia mid. it's fairly easy to proc Electrocute since her passive Dream-Laden Bough counts as a separate ability.

with Cheap Shot you deal bonus true damage which procs instantly when you land Swirlseed.
take Taste of Blood if more survivability is needed instead.

the only valuable pick.

lower cooldown on your ultimate and get a chance to turn around a fight with your deadly ultimate.
take Ingenious Hunter to lower the cooldown on Zhonya's Hourglass and other active ability items to safely engage in fights more often.



secondary runes

a must! helps with mana issues early game and you won't get as punished for being aggressive.

a solid pick that synergizes well with Lillia.
take Scorch for bonus burn damage.

Tenacity and Slow Resist against magic damage.
arcane comet (support)
electrocute (support)
primary runes

an alternative pick if Arcane Comet isn't preferred. it's fairly easy to proc Electrocute since her passive Dream-Laden Bough counts as a separate ability.

with Cheap Shot you deal bonus true damage which procs instantly when you land Swirlseed.

valuable pick in low elo, since you shouldn't rely on the enemy team to ward constantly.
take Zombie Ward if preferred.

lower cooldown on your ultimate and get a chance to turn around a fight with your deadly ultimate.
take Ingenious Hunter to lower the cooldown on Zhonya's Hourglass and other active ability items to safely engage in fights more often.



secondary runes

a must! helps with mana issues early game and you won't get as punished for being aggressive.

a solid pick that synergizes well with Lillia.
take Scorch for bonus burn damage.

Tenacity and Slow Resist against magic damage.
other rune paths
the Resolve rune path is generally the best as secondary runes for top lane.
while Sorcery or Inspiration work well as secondary runes for mid lane.


Magical Footwear; get additional 10 movement speed.
Perfect Timing; free stopwatch and Zhonya's Hourglass will cost less.
Biscuit Delivery; healthier laning phase.
Time Warp Tonic; synergizes with Biscuit Delivery.
Cosmic Insight; summoner spells have lower cooldowns, including active ability items.
items
this part can be a bit tricky, having the general knowledge of which items to take for each game is a must for all league players.


STARTER ITEMS


top lane; take Doran's Ring or Doran's Shield, depending on matchup.

mid lane; your best bet would be Doran's Ring.

idealy, after first recall i would recommend buying Refillable Potion.
never forget to buy Control Ward!



BOOTS




-OR-
Sorcerer's shoes ⇒ magic penetration.

Ionian boots of lucidity ⇒ ability haste.
additional summoner spell haste.



MYTHIC ITEMS



-OR-
Liandry's anguish ⇒ good against tank champions.
hands down the best mythic item on Lillia.

Riftmaker ⇒ good for extended fights.



RECOMMENDED ITEMS


these items are optional, but i highly recommend taking them.


AND
Zhonya's Hourglass and Demonic Embrace are too good to pass up!



LEGENDARY ITEMS


Abyssal Mask or Shadowflame if your opponents buy magic resist.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter; more slows and easier for you to chase.

Frozen Heart; good against champions that rely on attack speed.

Banshee's Veil; can't say no to a spell shield.



ANTI-HEAL

rush Oblivion Orb if anti-healing is needed. upgrade it later into Morellonomicon for better stats.

TESTING

Lich Bane; could possibly work with Electrocute.
abilities
good to note that Lillia got 2 passives.



P

whenever Lillia hits an enemy champion she applies dream dust that deals target's maximum health as magic damage for over 3 seconds and additionally heals for some percentage of it. healing is increased for each enemy champion hit.


Q passive

Lillia passively stacks movement speed whenever she casts an ability on an enemy champion or enemy minions. stacks up to a maximum of 4 times.


Q active

Lillia whirls her magical branch, dealing magic damage and true damage on the outer edge of the whirl.


W

Lillia winds up her magical branch in a nearby area, dealing heavy magic damage in the center.


E

Lillia throws a swirlseed that damages, reveals and slows enemies by 40% for 3 seconds upon where it lands. Swirlseed can roll until it hits an enemy champion or collides with a terrain.


R

all enemy champions that have recently been applied with dream dust briefly become drowsy and then fall asleep for around 2 seconds. if enemies are woken up with an ability while asleep, they take extra magic damage.
summoner spells
WHICH SUMMONER SPELLS SHOULD YOU TAKE?

out of all of the summoner spells; Flash has got to be the most crucial to take. Flash can help tremendously in many ways, whether it's to secure a kill or to get out of a sticky situation. always look to play safe whenever Flash is on cooldown.

best summoner spell to take in a solo lane or duo lane. Ignite applies more kill pressure, especially during the laning phase. Ignite deals true damage and applies 40% grievous wounds for over 5 seconds.
consider taking Ignite against champions that heal a lot like Aatrox, Warwick, Dr. Mundo, etc.


OPTIONAL SUMMONER SPELLS

take Teleport to apply map pressure later on.


gain up to 24%-48% bonus movement speed. Ghost is occasionally used on top lane. similiar to Flash it can help in some situations.
