How to win lane as Lillia against Zaahen · 48.63% win rate over 802 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even farm — you poke, but you cannot hard-punish yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays a skill mirror: your passive has not ramped and his gap-closer is not online. |
| Level 3 | Zaahen | Level 3 tilts to him — his Q and E close on your squishy frame before Blooming Blows stacks. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zaahen | Levels 4-5 favour him: he walks you down whenever your W dash is on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a skill-check — your R Lullaby can flip his mistimed engage. |
| First item | Zaahen | At first item his durability and sustain out-scale your early chip damage. |
| Two+ items | Zaahen | Two items in he crushes you in any one-on-one side-lane duel. |
Enjoy the first two levels — your poke is free while his gap-close is not online — because level 3 changes the contract: his Q and E reach your squishy frame before Blooming Blows ramps up. From there he walks you down whenever your W dash is on cooldown, so only poke with the dash in your pocket.
