Favour timeline — the windows in Lillia's game plan

Read from Lillia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1QuinnQuinn pokes from range and her Q blinds your single ability while her E knocks you out of it — you concede the opening hard.
Level 2QuinnHer E knocks you out of your Q hop and her Q blind kills the follow-up before two Dream Dust stacks tick.
Level 3QuinnHarrier autos plus Vault out-trade your stacking Q while you can never close the gap to compound the burn.
Levels 4-5QuinnYour best lane window still loses here — she pokes from outside your hop range and your DoT can't stay applied.
Level 6LilliaLilting Lullaby is your one spike: bait the Vault, sleep her through the poke, and W-burst the sleeping target before she escapes.
First itemQuinnLiandry's makes your W bite, but Quinn's same-timing item plus Harrier kiting keeps her out of your hop range.
Two+ itemsQuinnShe out-scales the lane with Harrier kiting, the Q blind, and R roams for picks while your DoT can't land.

How to beat Quinn as Lillia: the early game

Quinn out-ranges everything you do at level 1-3. Every time you hop in for a Q sweetspot to start your Dream Dust burn, she answers with an E Vault that knocks you back and a Blinding Assault that kills your follow-up, then her Harrier-empowered auto chips you on the way out. Do not chase her with Q to stack movement speed — she just kites on the speed her W gives her after a Harrier auto. Farm with the outer edge of Q from max range, accept you are behind, and never walk into Vault range with your E down.
