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

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”

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.”

Galactities says “Illaoi is a lane you play similar to other scalers, basically play for the pre 6 kills, zone her and poke her, make sure she isn't walking up for free, heal cut is great into her. Side step her E at all costs or you're cooked, sidestep her tentacles and whenever she ults always kite out of the ult. Late game she smokes you unless you have lead.”

TENSION019 says “Illaoi is a very strong champion, which is why I respect her at all stages of the game and avoid unnecessary fights. When I first started playing Tahm Kench, I honestly hated going against her. I felt like I could never win. But after facing her enough times, I realized that she’s actually pretty easy once you understand how she works. Take Phase Rush and Ignite, and start with a Doran's Ring and Swifties. Use your Q from range to slowly poke her down. Once her HP is low enough, you can use Phase Rush to quickly R her under your tower, she has no real mobility, so she won’t escape. If she catches you with E – Test of Spirit, use W to exit the tentacle zone immediately. And if she’s near your turret when she catches you, that’s your chance — R her under tower and punish her for being greedy. Also, keep in mind: if Illaoi casts her ultimate and you use your R at the same time, her ult gets canceled for 3 seconds. Remember that!”
