Illaoi's Abilities

Prophet of an Elder God Illaoi's Passive

1000

Illaoi draws the presence of her god, spawning a tentacle on nearby terrain if no other tentacles are nearby (20−7.25 seconds cooldown, depending on level). Tentacles will not attack on their own, but can be made to slam by Illaoi's abilities.

Slam deals 10−180 (+1.2 of attack damage) (+40% of ability power) physical damage (depending on level). Hitting at least one enemy champion restores 5% missing health to Illaoi.

Tentacle Smash Illaoi's Q Ability

850

40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60

10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6

Passive: Slam damage is increased by 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30%.

Active: Illaoi swings her idol, causing a Tentacle to Slam forward.

Harsh Lesson Illaoi's W Ability

Self

Illaoi's next attack causes her to leap at the target, dealing an additional 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5% (+4% per 100 attack damage) max health as physical damage. When she strikes, nearby tentacles will slam at the target.

Test of Spirit Illaoi's E Ability

950

35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55

16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12

Illaoi pulls the spirit from an enemy champion for 7 seconds. The spirit can be damaged like a champion, with 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45% (+8% per 100 attack damage) of that damage echoing to its owner.

If the spirit dies or the target leaves its range, the target becomes marked for 10 seconds and is slowed by 80% for 1.5 seconds. Marked enemies spawn Tentacles every 5 / 4 / 3 seconds.

Tentacles will automatically Slam at spirits and marked enemies once every 5.5 / 4.5 / 3.5 seconds.

Leap of Faith Illaoi's Ultimate (R) Ability

500

100

120 / 95 / 70 / 70 / 70

Illaoi smashes her idol into the ground, dealing 150 / 250 / 350 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to nearby enemies and spawning a Tentacle for each enemy champion hit (max of 6 tentacles).

For the next 8 seconds, Tentacles are untargetable, Slam 50% faster and Harsh Lesson has a 2 second cooldown.
