Matchup Summary

Lillah is a pretty easy match up as long as you play around her abilities, using your movement to side step her Q's, W and E damage. Everytime Renekton has dash up you can essentially force heavy trades to help burst her down, eventually allowing you to kill her around the 40% HP threshold. Renekton can rush magic resist such as Mercury Treads for boots or rush into damage, however this match ups is just dependant on avoiding being hit by her main abilities. When teamfighting, try to avoid being hit by her damage as she will be able to use her R. Lillah with a good R usage is absolutely deadly, so make sure to avoid being hit by her damage and shut her down as fast as possible.

Detailed Tips

  1. 01

    Level 1 E Start - Try to cheese PTA proc or Conq with E1 > 3 auto's > disengage with E2.

  2. 02

    Play For Level 2/3 Kill Angle - Once you chunk out Lillia you're most likely able to kill her with your W, Dash or Flash up. Look to shove the wave around your kill timer, so you're able to make Lillia lose a lot more.

  3. 03

    Respect Lillia Passive - Lillia’s passive allows her to apply a DoT effect when hitting her enemies, dealing 5%+ damage based on the target’s maximum health as magic damage. Lillia’s strong passive allows her to melt HP stackers and low HP targets, as well using her passive to synergise with Liandaries or Black Fire Torch. When fighting Lillia, try to use your movement to avoid being hit by her abilities, or try to buy some magic resist to help reduce her overall magic damage.

  4. 04

    Avoid Lillia’s Q - Lillia’s Q allows her to deal damage in an AoE spin, allowing her to do a decent amount of damage, while allowing her to stack 3% to 7%+ movement speed, stacking up to 4x if she hits a champion. Lillia’s Q can make her frustratingly annoying to deal with, as Renekton’s biggest weakness does come from his average movement speed and dash dependent mobility. When laning vs Lillia, our best way to avoid tanking her Q is using short clicks to move in and out. When we’re able to do this, we can effectively bait Lillia to use her Q, while avoiding her damage, passive and her mobility stacking. Once Lillia misses her Q, we’re able to abuse her with a quick combo, then disengage before she’s able to use Q and catch right back after us. Lillia’s Q can also deal true damage if you’re hit by the outer part, so make sure to avoid being hit in this position, by moving into her or side stepping out of it.

  5. 05

    Avoid Lillia’s W - Lillia’s W allows her to jump towards her target, dealing a heavy amount of AP damage if she hits the centre of her dash. Her W can provide her a lot of damage within 1v1’s, so make sure to use your dashes or movement to move away from the center of her W.

  6. 06

    Avoid Lillia’s E - Lillia’s E allows her to throw a seed that can travel globally, until it hits either terrain or an enemy champion. Typically Lillia can use this in lane, to help apply her passive damage as well as apply any additional on hit effects. Using her W can also help her activate her R, making it a sleeper strong ability when you at least expect it. Try to always be cognizant of your surroundings, for example if you’re pushing up, try to look around you and avoid being hit by E, which relatively is slow and easy to avoid if you’re paying attention.

  7. 07

    Quick Trades - E > Q > AA > W > AA > E Out / E > Q > W > E / E Q E - These combos allow for Renekton to get quick damage off in being able to keep health up and whittling his opponent down, use these to get your laner low and look for a low HP kill with flash.

  8. 08

    Play Waves Accordingly - Simply assess whether or not you want to play for freeze, to help you deny XP and CS, while presenting yourself more opportunities to create fights. Or, play to shove waves to create proxy angles, tempo resets or create a dive opportunity. Renekton has all the cards to do whatever he wants with wave management. Also respect that if your laner tries to proxy, simply proxy back or coordinate a kill on them with your jungler.

  9. 09

    Respect Lillia’s R - Lillia’s R allows her to put her enemies asleep, as long as she hits an ability to apply her passive onto a target. Once the enemies are put to sleep, once Lillia or an enemy deals damage to her targets, they will take additional damage from her ult. Lillia’s R is a giant win condition ability, as it allows her to mass CC you and your teammates. Typically she will try to flash Q against her targets, allowing her to easily apply her R towards multiple people. Lillia can also use her E to hit people in a cone, allowing her to force her sleep from this. Try to avoid being in these situations as much as you can, by spreading out against Lillia within a teamfight, or avoid any of her abilities using your movement. As long as Lillia doesn’t provide a high value R, she will lose her total play making ability from a fight.

  10. 10

    Abuse Renekton's R Powerspike - Once you reach level 6 your ultimate will essentially help you consistently stat check and dominate any match ups you were winning or losing. Make sure to always wait for your R CD to help you make plays, otherwise it will lead you towards a major disadvantage in dueling your enemies.

  11. 11

    Build Mercury Treads, Eclipse, Stridebreaker or BoTRK - Go Mercury Treads to lower Lillia’s overall damage and CC duration. Build Eclipse, Stridebreaker or BoTRK Go Eclipse for consistent power through mid game and damage mitigation with the shield. / Go Stridebreaker to cripple Lillia’s mobility and provide teammates with additional utility. / Go BoTRK to one shot and snowball with a damage focused build.

  12. 12

    Mid Game + Teamfighting Tips - Lillia’s role within teamfights, is trying to utilise her high mobility playstyle to weave in and out of fights, using her low CD Q to poke in and out until her enemies or low enough to finish off. Lillia will also play around using her R as previously mentioned, looking to mass CC her opponents and allow her team to easily pick and choose who they want to jump on. The best thing we can do vs Lillia, is try to avoid ever getting hit by her passive as it severely hurts to tank as Renekton. On top of that, making sure your teammates aren’t fully alone and over extended also matters a lot, as Lillia will try to force skirmishes to help her easily make picks, providing her team an easy chance to kill her targets. Within teamfights, Lillia will play a hit and run style, trying to whittle your HP down until she’s found an angle to R from. As Renekton, we can use our high damage and lock down ability, to easily stun her if she comes close into range, forcing her to use R on us only, or allow our team to easily jump on her and shut her down. Lillia may be able to go a tank build sometimes, but her overall ability to carry fights from her damage is severely weaker, making her build choice hugely impact the potential power. Overall, try to play around your team and exploit Lillia’s playstyle by using your W for her.
