Track: Lillia's Q — Blooming Blows (6–4s cooldown). Her kite + move speed stacks.
Read from Jayce's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lillia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | She must walk up to last-hit and ramp Blooming Blows with no range on you — take Cannon Q and free-poke every step-up. |
| Level 2 | Jayce | Still no escape or trade tool that beats you — your swap (R) armor/MR shred chunks her before her passive DOT matters. |
| Level 3 | Jayce | The accelerated gate-Q plus the swap armor/MR shred is your hardest chunk — one combo halves a step-up Lillia. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jayce | You have both forms and your gate-Q out-ranges her kit while she still lacks the items to fight the poke war back. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Lilting Lullaby only sleeps targets already carrying Dream Dust, and your R is just a stance-swap — take no chip and the window stays even. |
| First item | Jayce | Your gate-Q poke still threatens and she is still squishy — keep forcing trades before her AP buy lands. |
| Two+ items | Lillia | Full-AP Lillia kites your Hammer form with Q/W move speed and DOT-ticks you with her passive while you have no defensive stats — she out-scales you hard. |
Lillia has to walk into melee range to farm and to ramp her Blooming Blows (Q), and she has no answer to your Cannon Q at level 1 — punish every last-hit step-up with a gate-Q (Shock Blast through the Acceleration Gate) once E is up at 3. When she tries to chip you with passive (Dream-Laden Bough) ticks, swap to Hammer (R): the first hit shreds her armor/MR and you chunk her far harder than her DOT chips you. She is squishy and slow to react this early, so a clean Cannon-Q into swap into To the Skies–E (Thundering Blow) trade wins outright — just don't burn your knockback chasing her free move speed.
