Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Landing E (Test of Spirit) is everything — your all-in and teamfight damage depends on pulling spirits.
  • 2.R spawns a tentacle per nearby enemy hit; ulting 2-3 people creates an overwhelming tentacle zone.
  • 3.Do not chase enemies away from your tentacles — fight where your tentacles are set up.
  • 4.W causes all nearby tentacles to slam the target; position tentacles before engaging.
  • 5.Illaoi is strongest when enemies come to her — let them engage into your tentacle zone.
