Early game (levels 1–5)

Lillia owns the early lane by kiting: Blooming Blows stacks move speed so she dances out of your E range, and Watch Out! Eep! pokes you from distance while her passive burn out-sustains your Transfusion. You physically can't pin her without wasting pool, so just farm, eat minimal poke, and accept the level 1-5 disadvantage.
