Illaoi Matchups Overview

Illaoi General information

Illaoi tips and tricks

Illaoi’s Tentacle SmashQ is a great poke tool and is great for wave control too. However, it is slightly more expensive than her Harsh LessonW. If you can, try and use a terrain Tentacle instead of your Tentacle SmashQ to trade with the enemy. Essentially, they will do the same job at the cost of less mana!

Take advantage of your Harsh LessonW auto-attack reset by (when applicable) walking up to the enemy, auto-attacking once and then using your Harsh LessonW.

Illaoi’s Ultimate Leap of FaithR has a brief moment of unstoppability at the beginning. This can be used to dodge critical crowd control that would otherwise limit your damage potential.
