How to play it

Dodge her E
Dodging her E is the whole matchup: hide behind your ghouls to block it, and if it does hit, back out of its range immediately or you take a lot of heavy damage.
4-grave all-in
Play for the 4-grave setup and engage: let your ghouls jump her first so they eat her E, then commit; most Illaois don't even know they can W out of your wall.
Dodge her tentacles
Sidestep her tentacles to starve her of healing, then grind her down in a war of attrition.
Never sit inside her E's range once it grabs your spirit: leave immediately or the tentacle barrage does a lot of heavy damage.
