How to win the jungle race as Naafiri against Lillia · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Naafiri's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Lillia.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Naafiri Favoured | Packmates plus the Darkin Daggers bleed win the level-1 numbers game, but the Blooming Blows true-damage edge clears fast. You still win the straight exchange at the first buff; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Naafiri Favoured | The Hounds' Pursuit dash trade chunks anyone contesting your second buff. Lillia can make it awkward — perma-kiting with passive move speed and the true-damage Q edge means melee never touch her — 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 Route | Naafiri Favoured | The full pack with W dash and Q reset bleed is a real early kill threat. The margin is thin: dream-dust uptime plus W nukes out-pace anything without a dash, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Commit only with hard CC or a gap-closer in hand — a raw chase is a lost race. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Even — Farm & Track | Levels 4-5 are a stalemate vs Lillia — match their clear speed, keep river vision, and bank gold for the level-6 window instead of coin-flipping. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Lillia's R | Lilting Lullaby sleeps the whole skirmish, which is the whole problem: a multi-target Lullaby sleep hands her side a free opening volley. Spread out and break the sleep with planned burst, not panic autos, and spend The Call of the Pack to equalize rather than to open. |
| First Item Spike | Eclipse / Profane Hydra Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage and shielding multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or assassin targets. Lillia's first item is when the passing damage becomes real — she stops chipping and starts out-pacing health bars. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Danger — Lillia Outscales | Every minute past 25 tilts toward Lillia — she is untouchable dream damage on a permanent kite, and the sleep decides fights. Force your win condition early or watch it slip away slowly. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health retention via E dash heals before executing a fast 3-camp clear straight into an aggressive lane gank or invade path. Lillia clears fast and safely, kiting camps with Blooming Blows, and takes very little damage getting to three.
