Favour timeline — the windows in Teemo's game plan

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

This is Teemo's own plan; across 425 pooled games the lane is leaning Teemo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1LilliaBlooming Blows only accelerates her once she lands spells on someone, so level 1 is the one time she is genuinely slow — punish it, because every hit she gets is speed she keeps.
Level 2LilliaWatch Out! Eep! is a zone that hits hardest in the centre, and the edge of Blooming Blows adds true damage — two different abilities, and blind stops neither of them.
Level 3LilliaSwirlseed reveals you out of brush and out of Guerrilla Warfare on a flat 12s cooldown, and it rolls until it hits terrain — so invisibility is not a plan against her.
Levels 4-5LilliaLevels 4-5 are her strongest sustained kite window: Q ring bounces the whole wave, her DOT stacks faster than your poison against her HP pool, and she has the passive speed to disengage any time you threaten Q.
Level 6LilliaLilting Lullaby is a 1600-range map-wide threat, but only against targets already carrying Dream Dust — take no chip while it is up and her 150/130/110s ultimate finds nothing.
First itemEven / skillNeither of you has a dominant duel at first item — your Liandry's shroom-DOT genuinely threatens her, but her kite loop still works; this is the one stage where execution decides it.
Two+ itemsLilliaLillia's full AP plus passive speed makes her unkillable in a side-lane duel by late game, and her AOE teamfight R overshadows your split-push utility if the game goes long.

How to beat Lillia as Teemo: the early game

Lillia's Blooming Blows move speed is earned, not free — it stacks only when she hits enemies with spells, so levels 1-3 are the window where she is a slow champion with no dash. Every spell you dodge is speed she never gets. Be clear-eyed about your Q: Blinding Dart does nothing to her damage, because Q, W, E and R are all abilities. Spend it for the damage, not as a saved counter. Stand at your wave, poison her on every step-up, and hold your 680 range against a champion whose Q only reaches 450. Doran's Shield and an MR shard blunt the chip meaningfully.
