Introduction
Hello there, my name is DannyTheDuck,
Lillia is one of my Top Junglers in my current champ pool and remains one of the few junglars that I can play. Although, I don't play ranked often (and currently in Silver), I can offer my insight in my Guide to Lillia.

Pro and Cons
Pros:
~ Good in team fight.
~ Fast Clear (especially later on in the game)
~ Good AoE damage
~ Nice mix of True and Magic Damage
~ Does well into tanks
~ Can do well into people who kite
Cons:
~ Hard to master
~ Hard to play if behind
~ Early clear a bit rough
~ Squishy champ
~ Doesn't do well into assassins
~ Can get burst down easily

Runes
These are the runes that
Lillia takes:
Primary Runes:
Secondary Runes:
I Take 2 adaptive shards and 1 shard of armor as
Lillia has weak base armor.
I have seen
Lillia players take 1 shard of attack speed to help clear your camps. You can also take 1 shard of attack speed if you want.

Runes that I use most of the time
Primary Runes:
![]() |
Dark Harvest is the main rune that I take on ![]() |
![]() |
Cheap Shot is pretty good on ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Take Eyeball collection for the extra AP. The other runes on this branch aren't that good for ![]() |
![]() |
I take Ravenous Hunter for the omnivamp. Omnivamp procs realy good late game on your q ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Secondary Runes:
![]() |
Celertiy is a very good rune on ![]() ![]() |
![]() | Nimbus Cloak for the extra movement speed from when you use a summoner spell to either catch up to your enemies or get yourself out from a sticky situation. |

Other Runes
Primary Runes:

I have seen some ![]() ![]() |
![]() | Same reason as above,for the extra movement speed from when you use a summoner spell to either catch up to your enemies or get yourself out from a sticky situation. |
![]() |
Same reason as above, you can use the bonus movement speed from her passive in![]() |
![]() | I take Waterwalking for the early jungle skirmsh and for objective fights. |
Secondary Runes:

You can proc it on your slow in your ![]() ![]() |

Summoner Spells
The summmoner Spell that would reccomond to take every single time is
Flash and
Smite.
Flash is used to help you gap close, get yourself out of sticky situations and can make you hit that dream 5 man
Blooming Blows and henceforth a 5 man
Lilting Lullaby.
If you are playing
Lillia jungle, I would recommend
Chilling Smite over
Challenging Smite. Stealing the movment speed of your enemy to make them slower while making you faster is better than
Challenging Smite. Highly recommended.
I have seen player take
Ghost instead of
Flash. I recommend
Flash over
Ghost as the insta blink can make for some more flashier plays and gap close better than
Ghost.

Items
There are the items that I greaty recommend for
Lillia:

![]() |
As of patch 11.11, Your mythic Item would be a ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() | Similar to Liandry's, as it is an extra burn that also synergizes well with your passive. This item, although doesn't do as much damage as Liandry's, give a decent to a pretty good amount of health for Lillia, (which Liandry's do not). This Item makes Lillia beefy, (not tanky), and is a pretty good second item if you are ahead. If you are fairly behind, you can still go for this item, although I would recommend a defensive AP Item, (such as Zhonya's Hourglass) |
![]() |
A pretty good Item on Lillia, as the AP, Health and Ability Haste are really good Lillia. The movement speed that ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Ah who could not forget the good old, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Only get this if you are ahead and doing really good. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Very good late game item. I would only get this if you are ahead and can afford the cost of ![]() |
![]() |
An okay item on ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Anti Healing if there is a lot of healing on the enemy team. ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
An okay item that gives you 45 magic resist, pretty good AP and some Ability Haste. It also gives you a spell shield. I would normally not build this item, but it is still a decent Item to have on ![]() |
![]() |
A fairly decent item that gives health and Ap, but is mainly used for the slow. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() ![]() |
The 2 tank items that I strongly recommend for Lillia are Deadman Plate and Force of Nature. These 2 items give movement speed and pretty good resistances. (Armor and Magic Resist respectively). I would normally build one or the other, depending on if the enemy team has more AD or AP damage. Otherwise, I would go for the tanky Ap items, such as ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Early Games/ Early Jungle Clear
This is the path to clear my camps. Note that this is not a 100% always take this route, as you have have to improvise if the enemy junglar counter jungles/invades, if your team mate is caught out, or if there is a free kill.
If you are bot side, I would go ward the pixel brush in river (just in case of an invade) and tell your bot lane to watch in the tri-bush. This is to prevent them from invading, as an invade can screw
Lillia up. Take extra care if the enemy team has a good early game, (such as
Xin Zhao, and
Olaf), or has hook or long cc, (such as
Thresh,
Blitzcrank, and
Morgana). Recall and then buy a sweeper. Return to your red buff and get a leash from your bot lane. Level up your Q
Blooming BlowsFirst.
After doing your red buff, level up your E
Swirlseed go to your krugs, and do them, smite the large krug. Save your Q
Blooming Blows to last hit the small krugs to save as much time as possible.
Go to your Raptors after your Krugs and Q
Blooming Blows then W
Watch Out! Eep! to cover more space, after this level up your W
Watch Out! Eep! and E
Swirlseed the wolves. Use your W
Watch Out! Eep! then Q
Blooming Blows twice. Kite towards your Blue buff and use your E
Swirlseed on the blue buff. If done correctly, you can do your blue buff right after your wolves without wasting much time. Smite your blue buff and go to the top scuttle crab. Do the crab and go to the enemies raptors and do them if they are there. If not, go back to your gromp and do it. Recall to by at least shoes and part of your
Lost Chapter.
You might have to contest the top scuttle, and due to the meta of junglars and your semi-weak early game, you will lost most 1 v 1 at level 3. Unless you are playing against a really weak early game junglar like
Karthus or some off meta junglar. Either you will have to give the crab up or ping your laners to assist you. Depend on who comes you may win or lose the fight for the crab. If you cannot get the crab, do not waste your time trying to contest the crab. Just go back to do your camps and try to go to the Bot crab.
If you are top side, I would ward the pixel bush on the bot side and then recall for a sweeper. Watch for an invade just incase. Go to your Red buff rather than your blue buff. Start with your Q
Blooming Blows Red side has more AoE camps than Blue side, which mean you will clear this side faster. Level up your E
Swirlseed and go to your Krugs and Smite the large krugs and do them.
If your top laner has a really strong Level 2 and the enemy is somehow overextended, you can cheese gank top lane. Most toplaners won't expect a
Lillia ganking this early. Although you don't have any hard CC, the slow on your E
Swirlseed should be enough to either scare the enemy top laner to burn flash or you get a kill. This will only work if Toplaner has a really good early game. Once the enemy burns flash, don't chase, and just go back to your raptors then Top crab. This can only work if you are Top jungle, as the red buff should help with the damage.
If you choose not to do that, do your raptors, wolves and then blue buff. Do the bot crab and look at the enemies raptors. If they are there, do them, and then do your Gromp. This is how the first 4 minutes should go.

Mid Game
In the mid game, you should be power farming while looking for any ganks or camps that you can steal. Mainly using your ult to make plays. Gank any lanes that are overextended. Stealing camps is also really good on
Lillia, as her camp clear is faster the later the game goes. The movement speed she gets can also make her run from most things, assuming that she doesn't get cc'ed. With a fully stacked passive on her
Blooming Blows she is able to outrun most enemies.


Late Game
Late game is where you truly shine, as you have a game changing Ult. At this point in the game, asumming that your aren't very behind, you can poke them with your E
Swirlseed and try to land atleast a 3 man ult, (more is better, but if you hit a high prio target, you can shut them down assuming that they don't have a spellshield,
Quicksilver Sash or anything that will cancel Cc, they will generaly be dead. Also, in this late stage of the game, you will have enough AP that you will be flying around them, and spaming
Blooming Blows around them.
In the Late game, objectives is very imporant. Makes sure you set up the objective by vision control and good positioning.
