Track: Heimerdinger's E — CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (11s cooldown). The stun makes his turret nest lethal — dodge it before diving.
Read from Lillia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak at 1 — he has one turret, you have only Q, so it is a genuine even farm standoff at Q range. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | H-28 G turrets and 1325-range Micro-Rockets wall you off the wave before your Dream Dust DoT can start. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Layered turrets plus the 970-range grenade stun punish every step-in, and you have no dash to cross that zone safely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | This is normally your peak window, but his turret field resets faster than you can kite in and your burn can't out-poke his rockets. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Lilting Lullaby is your equalizer — afflict him with Dream Dust then sleep him under his turrets, ideally for a jungle dive. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | His turret upgrade plus first item makes the zone permanent and out-ranges your Liandry's/Riftmaker DoT from artillery distance. |
| Two+ items | Lillia | He out-zones the 1v1 forever, but he is immobile — your Q tempo and sleep roams are how you win the game off this lane. |
Level 1 is dead even — you only have Blooming Blows and he only has one turret, so last-hit at Q range and don't feed his early CS lead. At 2-3 his H-28 G turrets carpet the wave and Micro-Rockets chip you from 1325, and your Dream Dust does nothing if you cannot get inside 450 to apply it. Don't walk through the turret field to sweetspot him — you'll eat turret beams, a rocket volley, and the CH-2 grenade, which stuns on a direct hit and leaves you with no dash to leave on. Farm with the outer edge of Q from max range and accept you're behind.
