Read from Aatrox's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lillia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aatrox | Aatrox at 1 — she out-ranges your auto but can't kill you, and you win any short trade she walks into. |
| Level 2 | Aatrox | Aatrox at 2 — she kites with Dream Dust but has no commit, while your base stats and heal win trades. |
| Level 3 | Aatrox | Aatrox at 3 — full Q combo plus E lets you catch her and land the sweetspot all-in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aatrox | Aatrox at 4-5 — repeated melee all-ins beat her fragile early scaling. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Skill at 6 — Lilting Lullaby (R) puts you to sleep every time you commit. |
| First item | Aatrox | Aatrox on first item — post-Eclipse you out-brawl her in the melee range she hates. |
| Two+ items | Lillia | Lillia late — Liandry's plus Rylai's let her out-DPS and kite you with a global root ult. |
You hold the edge from level 1: Blooming Blows (Q) is a 6s spin that out-ranges your melee auto and stacks Move Speed to kite, and its outer edge adds true damage that your armour does nothing about — but she has no hard commit and can't kill you, while your base stats and passive heal win any short trade. Soak minimal Dream Dust ticks, farm safely, and set up your level 3 spike. Don't chase her spin past your minions.
