Lillia
View on Wiki
Excellent (9.5/10)
Low Investment
Rare Relics OK
Lillia is widely regarded as one of the strongest champions in the game, capable of trivializing difficult content through unparalleled board control and infinite scaling. Her ability to repeatedly trigger summon effects allows her to remove enemy boards entirely while ramping her own stats to absurd levels. While her animations can be lengthy, her safety and power ceiling are top-tier.
Infinite Control Loop
Essential for consistency. It fills the deck with Lillia copies to ensure you can play her repeatedly and reduces the cost of her Champion Spell, facilitating infinite sleep/wake loops.
Lillia's primary removal tool. It triggers when she is played and again every time she wakes up from Sleep, allowing her to clear the entire enemy board in a single turn.- A second copy ensures that even high-health enemies are removed immediately upon her summon or wake-up.
Strategy
The goal is to play Lillia, put her to Sleep (using her Champion spell or support cards), and have her wake up to trigger Stalker's Blade again. With two copies of Lillia on board, you can create a near-infinite loop of strikes and control.
C6 OTK Machine
Transforms the Ephemeral copy generated by her 6-star power into a higher-cost unit on attack.
Summons an attacking copy of the supported unit. When combined with the Ephemeral copy from her 6-star power, this creates a massive board of attackers instantly.
Prevents the attacking Ephemeral unit from dying, ensuring it survives to trigger Transmogulator and deal damage.
Strategy
This build is specific to 6-Star Lillia. It leverages the free Ephemeral copy she summons to create a wide board of high-stat units on Turn 1, often resulting in an immediate One-Turn Kill (OTK).
Orb Printer
Grants Epic items to random cards in your deck on summon. Since Lillia re-summons herself constantly via Sleep, this relic triggers exponentially throughout the match.- Doubles the item generation speed. While high variance, this build scales your deck into absurdity very quickly.
- Triples the effect. Alternatively, use Stalker's Blade here for board stability.
Strategy
A chaotic and fun build that focuses on stacking Epic items on your entire deck. Note that Guardian's Orb can sometimes hit landmarks, which is suboptimal, but the sheer volume of items usually overcomes this.
Free-to-Play Control
- The most important Rare relic for Lillia. Provides removal and levels her up by striking enemies.
Stuns the strongest enemy on summon. Like Stalker's Blade, this triggers every time she wakes up, permanently locking down the opponent's board.
Provides extra copies of Lillia in the deck to improve consistency if Echoing Spirit is unavailable.
Strategy
This build utilizes common and rare relics to replicate the control playstyle of her optimal build. It is highly effective for clearing adventures even without Epic relics.
Other Relic Options
Summons a Husk on kill. Since Lillia kills units with Stalker's Blade, this generates Husks that count as summons, accelerating her level-up condition significantly.
Useful for C6 builds to prevent Ephemeral copies from dying, similar to Death's Foil.
Granting Elusive to allies allows for safe attacks and nexus damage.
Avoid 'On Play' relics like Scales of Judgment or Hymn of Valor, as Lillia's mechanics revolve around 'Summon' triggers (waking up from sleep), which do not activate 'On Play' effects.
Constellation
Lillia is a complete powerhouse even at 3 stars. Her constellation upgrades primarily focus on speed and consistency rather than raw power, which she already possesses in abundance. The 'Burst Speed' upgrade for her sleep spell is a massive quality-of-life and power increase.
Sweet Dreams
When you summon a unit without playing it, grant it Spirit.
Too Sleepy
+1 Starting Mana. Round Start: Create a Blooming Bud in hand. If you already have one, reduce its cost by 1.
Sweet Dreams II
When you summon a unit without playing it, grant it Spirit twice.Review
At 3 stars, Lillia is fully functional and S-tier capable. The ability to stack Spirit on summoned units allows her to scale rapidly, and her sleep mechanic provides immunity and healing.
Crush
Allies have Overwhelm.Review
Unlock Overwhelm (Crush). While Overwhelm is generally good, Lillia often clears the board so thoroughly that she doesn't strictly need it to push damage. It becomes crucial for C6 OTK builds.
Manaflow
Game Start: Get a mana gem.Review
Provides Manaflow and potentially the Burst Speed upgrade for Dream-Laden Bough. This is her most significant consistency spike, allowing Turn 1 plays and unreactable sleep combos.
Dreamwoven Spirits
Each round, the first time you play a unit, summon an Ephemeral copy of it attacking.Review
Summons an attacking Ephemeral copy of Lillia. This enables degenerate speedrun strategies and OTK builds but is not required for general play. It essentially changes her from a control champion to a combo/aggro champion.
Gameplay Tips
The Sleep Cycle
Lillia's core loop involves playing her, striking with Stalker's Blade, putting her to Sleep, and having her wake up at the Round Start (or instantly if leveled). Waking up counts as a new Summon, triggering Stalker's Blade and Guardian's Orb again. This allows you to reuse 'On Summon' relics multiple times per turn.
Deadly Mutator Warning
Be very careful when using Sleep on enemy units in adventures with the 'Deadly' mutator (enemies gain stats when they take damage/wake up). Sleeping an enemy heals them and wakes them up with increased stats. Against these foes, focus on killing them outright with Stalker's Blade rather than controlling them with Sleep.
Animation Management
Lillia has some of the longest animation loops in the game due to the constant sleeping, waking, and item generation. It is highly recommended to play at 4x speed (if available via external tools) or simply be patient. The Condenser relic can sometimes speed up animations by simplifying the board state.
Defensive Sleeping
You can use your sleep spells on your own units to save them from removal. If an enemy targets Lillia with a kill spell, putting her to sleep turns her into a Landmark, invalidating the target. She will wake up fully healed and ready to trigger her summon effects again.
The Double Lillia Engine
If you manage to get two Lillias on board (easy with Echoing Spirit), you can create an infinite board clear loop. When one Lillia levels up, she creates a Rally spell or cost-reduced sleep spell, allowing the other to attack or sleep, perpetuating the cycle until the enemy board is empty.
