Illaoi lore:

Illaoi's powerful physique is dwarfed only by her indomitable faith. As the prophet of the Great Kraken, she uses a huge, golden idol to rip her foes' spirits from their bodies and shatter their perception of reality. All who challenge the “Truth Bearer of Nagakabouros” soon discover Illaoi never battles alone—the god of the Serpent Isles fights by her side.

Illaoi tips:

  • Tentacles are an immense source of power. Don't fight without them.
  • Spirits inherit their target's current health. If making a
  • Vessel
  • is your goal, try whittling your opponent's health down a bit first to make killing the spirit easier.
  • Leap of Faith is best used to follow-up a strong engage or when being engaged upon. Be careful about being the first one into a fight.

Playing Against Illaoi

  • Killing Tentacles whenever possible will make it much easier to win a fight against Illaoi.
  • When your spirit gets pulled out, fight back if you can. Dealing damage to Illaoi reduces the spirit's duration.
  • Avoid grouping up for Leap of Faith to reduce the number of Tentacles available to Illaoi.

Illaoi abilities description:

Prophet of an Elder God
P
Prophet of an Elder God (passive)
Illaoi and the Vessels she creates spawn Tentacles on nearby impassible terrain. Tentacles swing at spirits, Vessels, and victims of Illaoi's Harsh lesson. Tentacles deal physical damage to enemies hit, and will heal Illaoi if they damage a champion.
Tentacle Smash
Q
Tentacle Smash (Q)
Increases the damage dealt by Tentacles. When activated, Illaoi smashes down a Tentacle that deals physical damage.
Harsh Lesson
W
Harsh Lesson (W)
Illaoi leaps to her target, dealing physical damage and causing nearby Tentacles to also swing at the target.
Test of Spirit
E
Test of Spirit (E)
Illaoi rips the spirit from a foe's body, forcing it to stand before her. Spirits echo a percentage of the damage they take to the original target. If killed, or if the target gets too far from the spirit, the target will become a Vessel and begin spawning Tentacles.
Leap of Faith
R
Leap of Faith (R)
Illaoi smashes her idol into the ground, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies. A Tentacle spawns for each enemy champion hit.
