Lets farm!

In your laning phase concentrate on your farm. Whenever enemies poke you use your E/W/Q to sustain damage. This rune setup is for infinite sustain so you can take a high amount of damage before returning to base. Focus on landing your Q's. They heal you for 5% of your missing health every time you hit a champion. Use your E wisely. Your E has 20 seconds initial cool down. so if you miss your E there is a high chance of getting poked. Use your E only when they engage and you have a clear shot. Each time your tentacle smashes you heal some amount.
Use your auto to take advantage of Grasp of undying.

Why max Q?

R>Q>E>W
Why max Q?
Your Rune+Q healing = Infinite lane sustain. Time your Q right and you are always healed for missing health. Q also increases your tentacles damage. So W does more damage when you use your E.

Max E second to reduce the cooldown
Your items help you in reducing your CDR on W and hence max it last. Your ultimate also reduces your CDR on W.
If you follow this build your CDR on W is approx 1.1s when you Leap of faith.
"Now... do you see the truth?"

How to use your ultimate. Will this rune work?

Here's the trick with this rune. As an illaoi you should always hit R after a successful E. Helps you spawn an extra tentacle. You use your R when you are down to 1/4 of your health. Trust me on this. Trust on her damage. The moment you hit R you will see your stats move from 1/4 to 1/2 or 3/4 based on total number of enemies your tentacles smashes. You get increased damage from last stand and your tentacles already do a crazy amount of damage. Lure your enemies. Bring them to a mindset where they are blinded to kill you. This also helps to cast your E before you R. Use your Q+W combo perfectly.
Grasp of undying + Last stand + R = "Behold!"
PS: Do not use this strategy against champs like Darius and Garen.
