The jungle race — the windows in Lillia's plan

Read from Lillia's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Zac.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearLillia FavouredThe Blooming Blows true-damage edge clears fast — kite, don't brawl, but blob sustain keeps their clear healthy, but champion trades are losers. You still win the straight exchange at the first buff; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours.
Level 2 SkirmishLillia FavouredWatch Out! Eep! center-hits plus passive speed kite melee kits apart. Zac can make it awkward — a fog-charged Elastic Slingshot knock-up opens a gank-grade engage onto you — but not with one camp still up on both sides. Trade, then walk away with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it.
Level 3 RouteLillia FavouredDream-dust uptime plus W nukes out-pace anything without a dash. The margin is thin: blob sustain keeps their clear healthy, but champion trades are losers, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Ward the walls he charges from and step on his blobs to starve the sustain.
Levels 4-5 MacroLillia Favoured — Take DuelsThe 4-5 window is yours if you pick it: he charges Elastic Slingshot from fog through 4-5 and is more dangerous off your screen than on it. Track that pattern, arrive one camp early, and take the fight before the follow-up shows.
Level 6 BreakpointLilting Lullaby FavouredLilting Lullaby sleeps the whole skirmish — your dream-dust damage decides it. Let's Bounce! plus the fog Slingshot starts every objective fight with their team airborne, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and Let's Bounce! is the one on cooldown.
First Item SpikeLiandry's SpikeLiandry's turns your dust and burn into real damage, and your kite-duel into a genuine threat even against bruisers. Your clear becomes self-sustaining health-wise and absurd tempo-wise. Force Zac to contest you at camps where your orbit has room, and melt them when they try. Zac's first item is a durability spike, so he does not start killing you — he starts surviving whatever you send.
2+ Items ScalingLillia Favoured at Full BuildTwo items on, the edge is yours. The one thing to plan around is that he is a fog engage with two health bars, so the first kill is only temporary — take that away and the fight is a formality.

How to beat Zac as Lillia: the first clear and pathing

Start the buff that lets you chain into raptors early — your AoE Q wants the chaos camps. Zac's start side matters little; your clear wins the race regardless, so path for your own efficiency. Zac clears steadily with blob sustain and Unstable Matter, and he never has to recall for health before six.
