Lillia is a highly mobile AP jungler known for her unique hit-and-run playstyle and massive area damage potential. Her ability to deal true damage makes her particularly effective against tanks.

Core Abilities Priority:

  1. Q (Blooming Blows) - Primary damage source and movement speed
  2. W (Watch Out! Eep!) - Secondary damage ability
  3. E (Swirlseed) - Utility and ranged engagement
  4. R (Lilting Lullaby) - Ultimate, skill at levels 6/11/16

Key Engagement Combos:

Standard Engage:

  • E > R > W > Q
  • Use E to find targets, ultimate when in range, follow with W damage, then Q while kiting

Flash Engage:

  • Q > Flash > R > (E) > W > Q
  • More situational but game-changing when executed properly
  • Consider Zhonya's after ultimate for survival

Core Build Path:

  • Starting: Hailblade + Refillable Potion
  • Core Items: Liandry's Anguish, Demonic Embrace
  • Boots: Mercury's Treads (against CC) or Sorcerer's Shoes
  • Situational: Zhonya's Hourglass, Cosmic Drive, Dead Man's Plate

Pro Tips:

  • Use E to pull jungle camps toward you for faster clearing
  • Time W impacts with R sleep for maximum damage
  • Coordinate sleep wake-up timing with team for optimal damage
  • Maintain Q passive stacks for consistent movement speed
  • Focus on kiting mechanics to maximize effectiveness

Runes: Primary: Precision

  • Dark Harvest
  • Cheap Shot
  • Eyeball Collection
  • Relentless Hunter

Secondary: Inspiration

  • Cosmic Insight
  • Magical Footwear

The key to mastering Lillia lies in movement speed management and effective kiting rather than complex ability combinations. Practice maintaining Q stacks while weaving in and out of combat range for optimal performance.
