Illaoi Top guide

Illaoi top plants Tentacles with Prophet of an Elder God (passive), then forces a fight onto them: rip the spirit out with Test of Spirit (E), leap in with Harsh Lesson (W) to pull nearby Tentacles onto the target, and slam down more damage with Tentacle Smash (Q).

The build

Rune page: Grasp of the Undying, Demolish, Bone Plating, and Overgrowth (Resolve), with Presence of Mind and Last Stand (Precision). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Harsh Lesson (W) at level 1, then maxes Test of Spirit (E) first with Tentacle Smash (Q) second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Black Cleaver, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Sterak's Gage, with Spirit Visage, Sundered Sky, and Death's Dance as later options.

Ability mechanics

Test of Spirit (E) rips the spirit from a target, forcing it to stand in place and echo a percentage of damage it takes back onto the target; if the spirit is killed or the target moves too far away, the target becomes a Vessel that spawns its own Tentacles. Harsh Lesson (W) leaps Illaoi to her target and pulls nearby Tentacles into swinging at them too. Leap of Faith (R) smashes her idol into the ground for area damage and spawns a Tentacle for every enemy champion hit.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Mordekaiser, Garen, Darius, Aatrox, Sett. Best matchups: Renekton, Jax, Yone.
