How to win lane as Zaahen against Lillia · 51.37% win rate over 802 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even farm phase with Lillia poking but unable to hard-punish. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays a skill mirror as her passive hasn't ramped and you have no gap-closer online yet. |
| Level 3 | Zaahen | Level 3 tilts to you — your Q and E let you close on a squishy before Blooming Blows stacks. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zaahen | Levels 4-5 favor you as you walk her down whenever her W dash is on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a skill-check because her R Lullaby can flip a mistimed engage. |
| First item | Zaahen | At first item your durability and sustain out-scale her early chip damage. |
| Two+ items | Zaahen | Two items in you crush her in any one-on-one side-lane duel. |
Levels 1-2 are an even farm phase — Lillia's Q Blooming Blows chips the wave and pokes, but she's squishy and can't punish you hard before her passive ramps, so nothing is decided. Play for level 3 and don't waste dashes chasing her kiting.
