Read from Cassiopeia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lillia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Lillia pokes with passive DOT and Blooming Blows while you have one ability ranked, so level 1 is even chip — last-hit and dodge her telegraphed spin. |
| Level 2 | Cassiopeia | With Q-into-E you prime and refund-chain Twin Fang; her DOT and Blooming Blows chip can't trade with your ramping single-target nuke. |
| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | Your first Miasma's slow strips the stacked move-speed kite she relies on, pinning her in your poison for a free trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Ranked Q and E let you chain Twin Fang on a slowed Lillia who has no burst and can't out-space your bonus move speed. |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Petrifying Gaze cone catches her as she peels out and beats her Lullaby sleep, turning your won trade into a kill. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | Your first-item DPS plus boots-free passive move speed lets you stick to and shred a squishy Lillia who can't out-range you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Lillia out-scales into a teamfight Lullaby-sleep roamer; the duel is still yours, but her map pressure flips where the threat lives. |
Lillia wants to chip you with passive DOT and Blooming Blows (Q) while drifting on her stacked move speed, but she has no point-and-click and no early burst, so at level 1 just farm and sidestep her telegraphed spins. The instant you have Q into E (level 2), prime her with Noxious Blast and the refunded Twin Fang chain out-damages her DOT every time. Don't chase her blindly — bait her dodge, then step up.
