Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is a skill check on positioning, but the moment Lillia has Q Blooming Blows she starts kiting you around the wave and stacking her passive burn faster than you can respond. You have no gap-closer until 6 and no ranged answer to her poke, so play safe, farm under tower, and call your jungler.
