How to win lane as Lillia against Zac · 66.67% win rate over 6 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither of us owns level 1 — I have only Blooming Blows and no kite chain, so I farm Q from range and stay out of his E sling range while he picks blobs. |
| Level 2 | Lillia | My second Q sweetspot starts the move-speed snowball and the Dream Dust DoT, so a slow Zac can't walk at me without feeding the burn. |
| Level 3 | Lillia | With my E Swirlseed slow plus stacked Q speed I kite his sling entirely and chip him every time he steps up for a blob. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lillia | Full-rank Blooming Blows and compounding Dream Dust let me grind a blob-less Zac off the wave — his only catch tool is an E sling I out-space. |
| Level 6 | Lillia | Lilting Lullaby sleeps a Zac already burning from my passive, denying his blob sustain or setting up a gank he can't sling out of. |
| First item | Lillia | Liandry's/Riftmaker turns my W slam and burn into percent-HP damage that out-paces his passive blob healing on his tank HP. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Even late — my percent-HP burn still hurts him in lane, but his 2+ item AoE engage finally matters in fights, so I convert the lead before then. |
Level 1 is a wash — I only have Blooming Blows and no kite chain, so I just farm Q from range and refuse to walk into his E sling range while he can pick blobs back up. The real danger here is levels 2-3: a Zac sitting in brush or fog can sling onto me and chain his Q knockup, and a single landed CC pins my squishy body long enough for his combo, so I never facecheck and never hug the wave where he can fog-sling me. Once I have my E Swirlseed slow plus a second Q point, I start the Dream Dust burn and the move-speed stacks, and from there he can't walk at me without feeding the DoT.
