Tips Against Illaoi in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

rippytide09 says “Not as difficult as gwen, but difficult nevertheless. She will poke you with her tentacles and you won't be able to kill her in a 1v1 until much much later in the game. In fact, you probably will lose a 1v2 with your jungler since she likes to heal off of multiple people. If she lands her E (HER BEST ABILITY) simply disengage outside of the circle and dodge/farm the tentacles. If she misses, you can look to farm a little without cleavers. Once you have warmogs, this matchup becomes a little better but she will still outdamage you. Fortunately, you are much more useful in teamfights and lategame you can farm heartsteel off of her and leave.”
Sekirooo says “♡ Big lady all she need is just to E and you lose half your health it's basically a dodging game if she waste her E you can short trade with her and don't try to fight her around her tentacles it's best to always try and kill them and her ult make her heal every time you get hit you either try to outdamage her with ult or just run off until her ult is down if she did E and ult she is back to full health what a lovely champion ”

Wafflerush says “Genuinely a very even matchup. Illaoi will protect her tentacles as often as possible to continue to deal the maximum damage possible with her W. You can easily take them out with and auto + W reset. Just be sure to dodge her E when she tries to pull your spirit, as this is the biggest way you lose. It will give her free healing + damage on you, so try to use minion cover as often as possible. If grabbed, simply Q away to a wall and walk out of range, dodging the spawning tentacles. Also, be cautious on the timing of your ult! Her ult makes her briefly unstoppable, so if she ults at the same time as yours lands on her, it only damages her rather than applying the knockup CC.”

Glenn Silver says “Who ever wins the lane wins hard. Stand behind minion wave. AA + W if she W's on the wave. If you dodge her E, you should be able to fully commit, even with her ult, but you need anti heal.”

TheMild1 says “If she pulls your vessel while you are high on HP you can fight for it pre-6. When she starts to focus your vessel throw a Q in her direction. After level 6 she will beat you up. Try to play around her ult, and bait it out of her while taking little damage. Getting hit by her ult is not as bad as getting hit by her pull. Try to dodge around it. ”

Dragonlord1022 says “Fleet Footwork Bone Plating D Blade → Swifties → Tri Force - Need to play for shove level 1 - Stand opposite of the Illoai on the wave and maintain aggro on the wave - If Illoai has - Notes on Items - Consider heal cut, especially if ahead - Illoai will just shred resistances, if you're ahead your best stats to continue winning are resistances, heal cut, armor shred, and/or move speed - Example items to consider Black Cleaver, Sundered Sky, Blade of The Ruined King - Illoai E - If you're hit by E, often you'll just want to run away - If you dodge E, often you can win trades - Early game, if Illoai Es while you're on high health or without a tentacle nearby, it might vs wise to fight her rather than run - Later game, be mindful if you have a spirit pulled, Illoai R will spawn an extra tentacle”

DemicleasTTV says “Q MAX UNPLAYABLE LOL, this picks only redeeming quality is that ILLAOI is so terrible it doesnt really matter losing that much, AVOID HER E STAND BEHIND MINIONS, RUSH TO LANE LVL 1 DENY EARLY TENTACLES. LVL 1 SHE IS WEAK.. kinda...”

Saneryus says “Similar to Yorick, if you dodge her E's you win. You get hit, you lose. A lot more punishing than yorick's E. If she E's and Ult's you, you have to run unless you can INSTA burst her down. If you can't insta burst her down, you have to disengage as she heals a lot when she lands BOTH her E and ult both the spirit and you. Gunblade for inexperienced. Nashors when experienced. If she goes grasp, you lose early game. If she goes conquerer, you can contest level 1 and shove cannon. - Standard PTA | MS shard - DShield (grasp) or DBlade (conquerer) - Flash/TP - E Max”
PokeRoyal2007 says “Winnable. Try to avoid her E and it should be fine. And don´t fight her when she ults, her tentacles heal her a lot and she will beat you, no matter how many times you killed her. Try to abuse her pre-6, you have a better pre than her.”
