How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Lillia · 54.36% win rate over 149 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 you have one turret and no grenade and she has no dash — neither can punish hard, so just farm at turret-beam range and respect the Q Blooming Blows ring. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Your second and third H-28G turrets plus the slowing beams wall the nest off, and with no engage tool Lillia must eat beam damage just to poke you. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | With CH-3X Lightning Grenade online you center-stun her the moment she walks up to W-sweetspot, and the beams plus rockets out-DPS her trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Three turret charges and the stun grenade make any approach suicidal for a dashless skirmisher — she gets zoned off CS and chunked every time she steps in. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Her R Lilting Lullaby is a no-dodge ranged sleep that sets up a jungle dive on a flashless yordle — this is her one window, so hold back. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Your UPGRADE!!! super-turret and first-item siege own a lane you already zoned — push the architecture advantage and take towers before she scales. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | Full-build Lillia kites the static nest with Q speed and Liandry's burn and out-rotates the immobile turrets, so close it out before she out-scales you. |
Lillia has to come to you, and she has no dash to do it safely — that's the whole matchup. Level 1 you only have one turret and no grenade, so don't get greedy on the first wave; respect that her Q Blooming Blows outer ring does true damage and she'll poke with it. By 2-3 drop a second and third H-28G turret and the slowing beams turn the nest into a wall she can't walk through — without an engage tool, the only way she stacks her Dream-Laden Bough burn on you is to eat beam damage doing it. Last-hit safely and let her chip from outside; you out-sustain that all day at turret range.
