How to win lane as Master Yi against Lillia · 50% win rate over 172 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lillia | Lillia's Blooming Blows (Q) speed and Watch Out! (W) poke let her kite you at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Lillia | At 2 her mobility and burst still keep you at range and losing trades. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 becomes a skill matchup — Alpha Strike (Q) engages can now punish her if she overextends. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At 4-5 it hinges on dodging Watch Out! (W) and respecting her poke, a skill window. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 whether you eat or avoid Lilting Lullaby (R) sleep decides the fight — skill-dependent. |
| First item | Master Yi | With your first attack-speed item you catch her the moment she stops kiting and delete her. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Late, Highlander (R) resets and attack speed let you stick through her mobility and out-scale her. |
Lillia out-ranges and out-mobiles you early — her Blooming Blows (Q) passive movement speed lets her kite while Watch Out! (W) chunks you, so use Alpha Strike (Q) as both a gap-closer and a dodge and lean on Wuju Style (E) true damage in short trades where her low durability shows.
