League players were not necessarily excited for the release of Lillia last year. On paper, she appeared to be a weak late game champion that could be easily outplayed by the other ranged options. Many in the community were pleasantly surprised by her effectiveness in-game.

Unlike other recent releases, Lillia is a relatively straightforward champion to learn and use. Instead of focusing on shields and a dozen abilities, gamers will rely on movement and timing to win with Lillia. In 2021, Lillia has become one of the most enjoyable champions to use in the game. This list will cover a few things people may not know about the unique champion.
10 Blooming Blows Has Two Damage Ranges
Lillia's primary attack is Blooming Blows. When she performs the attack, there are two different damage outputs. The inner ring will deal just half of the damage of the outer ring. To use her effectively, gamers will need to hit enemies with the outer ring. Blooming Blows is one of the reasons why it takes slightly more skill to have success with Lillia. Missed blows will add up and make her less dominant in a match.
9 Lillia's Passive Does Not Stack
Unlike some champions, Lillia's passive makes an immense impact on her viability. Any enemy that is attacked by Lillia will lose a certain percentage of their health. However, the amount of damage will not increase with each attack. Her passive is more important for the ultimate, Lifting Lullaby. The ultimate ability puts to sleep any enemies on the map that are afflicted with Lillia's passive ability.
8 Prancing Stacks
The champion's prance, or movement speed can be stacked up to five times. Each time Lillia lands an attack, the prance will stack. For that reason, users will want to be engaging in careful fights throughout the entire match. Lillia's main selling point is her movement speed. Without a maxed-out prance, she will be a liability in the late game.
7 Lillia Is Unable To Jump Over Walls
Ironically, Lillia is a fawn that is unable to jump over simple walls. It may be confusing, as deer are known to be great leapers, but it is a reality gamers must deal with. A lot of people were annoyed by the fact that she is unable to scale walls, as it would make her even more unstoppable. Despite this drawback, there are a lot of benefits to using Lillia.
6 Watch Out! Eep! Can Deal Three Times Damage
Lillia's other ability is a concentrated strike that requires users to be accurate with their attacks. Watch Out! Eep! has a total of three different damage ranges. The center of the attack radius deals three times the damage of the outer ring. People using this attack will need to aim carefully to get the most out of the champion. The ability can be devastating late in the game if Lillia is managed properly.
5 Swirlseed Has Infinite Range
Another one of Lillia's abilities is called Swirlseed. She will launch a seed at enemies that will travel until it hits the designated target or a barrier. The ability will cause damage on impact and slow enemies as well. If there is a Lillia on the map, the other champions will need to keep an eye out for the seed to avoid being stunned and flanked. Swirlseed is one of the more interesting attacks at Lillia's disposal.
4 Lillia Has A Low Win Rate
Many experienced players are calling themselves Lillia mains, but she has a low win rate among champions. The primary reason for this is skill and experience.

Lillia is a powerful early game champion, but she will only be a viable late game champion if played correctly. Her abilities and speed shine when she is kiting enemies around and keeping her prance stacked to 5x. Few champions can keep up with her if she is played the proper way.
3 Lifting Lullaby Affects All Champions
Any champion that is afflicted by Lillia's dream dust will be slowed and then fall asleep. Enemies that are awoken by an attack will receive even more damage as a result. Like some of the other champions, no additional damage will be dealt if the afflicted wakes up without being attacked. Lillia's ultimate must be used wisely, as it is her most effective ability in chaotic situations.
2 Ultimate Plus W Is Your Friend
Lifting Lullaby should always be used in combination with one of Lillia's other abilities. Players will want to get the damage multiplier from waking up a target with an attack.

To deal the most damage, Watch Out! Eep! is the best attack against other champions and single targets. Lillia will get the Lifting Lullaby multiplier, and if she attacks in the sweet spot, her W will grant another 3x multiplier. This combination is the best way to one-shot enemies with Lillia.
1 Lillia Is A Speed Jungler
Because of her speed and movement, Lillia thrives in the jungle areas. None of the other jungle primaries can keep up with her, and she will jump in and out of engagements flawlessly. Users will need to constantly move her from place to place, collecting stacks and avoiding other champions if possible.

Gamers will have the most success if Lillia acts as a one-hit pony. She will use her ultimate or seed, get the multiplier, and immediately run away from the fight. When used correctly, Lillia is a force to be reckoned with.
