Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillShe pokes with her Q spin and her burn ticks, and at level 1 your Q recast isn't online yet — this stage is a genuine wash before your kit comes together.
Level 2AuroraWith Q plus E your curse-pull out-trades her Q-spin poke and your passive heals her burn chip — she has no point-click reply to the recast.
Level 3AuroraYour full poke combo punishes Lillia's short E dash every time she steps up to spin, and she can only kite from the Q-pull.
Levels 4-5AuroraYour poke, passive healing, and W reset line up to control trades she can only kite, not contest.
Level 6AuroraBetween Worlds zones her off CS and your W is your answer to her R sleep cast — your cleanest all-in before her items.
First itemAuroraLuden's/Malignance sharpens the Q-recast burst and her squishy frame folds to one combo on this spike.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Lillia wants to chip you with her Q spin (Blooming Blow) and E seed-bounce while her passive burn ticks, dancing at range — but her only real mobility is the E dash, so your Q is a poke she struggles to answer. Fire Q to curse her, then recast to pull it back through her for the second hit; her escape is the E hop, and your Spirit Abjuration passive heals back the burn she stacks on you. Don't chase her into her own minions where the E gets value, and respect that level 1, before your Q recast is meaningful, she can out-spin a single cast.
