How to win the jungle race as Lillia against Locke · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Lillia's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Locke.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Respect Locke | The window at the first buff belongs to Locke: Q nail volleys clear camps at range while banking marks for the first scuttle fight. Your own line is real — the Blooming Blows true-damage edge clears fast — kite, don't brawl — but it arrives second here. Fight him at full marks-zero and punish the ten seconds after his blink — E is his only exit, then skip the level-1 crossing. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Respect Locke | At level 2 this window belongs to Locke: the blink-auto mark consume chunks hard, but spending E in a duel spends the escape too, and a stacked nail string into the blink-through consume deletes half a health bar. Fight him at full marks-zero and punish the ten seconds after his blink — E is his only exit. Refuse the level-2 skirmish and bank tempo on the opposite side of the map. |
| Level 3 Route | Even Skirmish | Neither side cleanly wins level 3 — a stacked nail string into the blink-through consume deletes half a health bar, but dream-dust uptime plus W nukes out-pace anything without a dash. Trade only from full health; as the first scuttle timer lands the first mis-step decides this, not the kits. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Lillia Favoured — Take Duels | The 4-5 window is yours if you pick it: he uses 4-5 to bank marks at range, then blinks in the moment the nail count says the kill is there. Track that pattern, arrive one camp early, and take the fight before the follow-up shows. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Lilting Lullaby Favoured | Lilting Lullaby sleeps the whole skirmish — your dream-dust damage decides it. Purgatory executes anyone who fights below the floor inside his totem — 'almost dead' becomes dead — respect that one window, but the six-spike comparison favors you: take the post-6 duel whenever HP bars start even. |
| First Item Spike | Lich Bane / Shadowflame Spike | His Lich Bane spike is real: the blink-consume chunk one-shots chipped squishies. Respect the first-item window, then note his E is still a one-way door — punish every spent blink. Locke's first item makes the mark consume hit for a real chunk, which is when the blink stops being a poke tool. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Lillia Favoured — Wins Late | The late game is yours. Remember what Locke still is at full build — his execute floor rises with every seal, so any low-health fight inside Purgatory is lost — and take the fights that do not let it matter. |
Standard start — his level-1 clear is ranged but mana-hungry and his duel is honest at best; you dictate the early tempo, not him. Locke clears at range with Ritual Nails and banks marks while doing it, so his first scuttle arrives with stacks up.
