Early game (levels 1–5)

A skill-matchup early. Lillia is slippery — Blooming Blows lets her dance around your Ritual Nails and her passive burn adds up if you chase blindly. Land your mark to slow her, farm safely, and don't overextend into her seed poke. Neither of you kills the other at level 1-2, so respect spacing.
