Excellent (9/10)
Epic Relics
Rare Relics OK
Lillia is widely regarded as an exceptionally powerful control champion who can completely lock the opponent out of the game. While her core mechanics are highly effective, her long animations can make matches feel tedious, though her maximum constellation upgrades transform her into a rapid combo powerhouse.
The Infinite Engine
Game Start: Create 7 copies of me in deck. Champion Spells cost 1 less.
When I'm summoned, I strike the weakest enemy.- When I'm summoned, I strike the weakest enemy.
Strategy
This is considered Lillia's most consistent and dominant build. The strategy revolves around playing Lillia, putting her to sleep, and playing additional copies.
Echoing Spirit ensures you draw her consistently and reduces the cost of her champion spell, allowing you to cycle her rapidly. The dual Stalker's Blades clear the enemy board every time she awakens or a new copy is summoned, effectively preventing the opponent from maintaining any board presence.
Monthly Challenger
- When I'm summoned, I strike the weakest enemy.
- When I'm summoned, I strike the weakest enemy.
When I'm summoned, grant Epic items to 3 random cards in your deck.
Strategy
This build emphasizes immediate impact and survivability for challenging encounters. Double Stalker's Blade provides instant board interaction on summon, while Guardian's Orb scales the rest of the deck with Epic items.
The strategy revolves around Lillia's powerful strikes and the ability to 'sleep' her to evade damage, making her a resilient threat against heavy removal or constant damage.
One-Turn Kill Combo
+2|+0 Support: If my supported ally is a follower, grant it Ephemeral and summon an exact copy of it attacking.
Support: Transform my supported ally into a random follower that costs 3 more.
+1|+0 While I'm attacking, I can't take damage or die.
Strategy
This highly aggressive build requires Lillia's 6-star power to function. When Lillia is played, her 6-star power summons an attacking ephemeral copy.
Death's Foil ensures this ephemeral copy survives its strike. Transmogulator transforms another attacking unit into a larger threat, and Spectral Scissors duplicates that transformed unit, creating a massive, overwhelming board state on turn one.
Zoe Specialized Scaling
Zoe Specialized
- Game Start: Create 7 copies of me in deck. Champion Spells cost 1 less.
- When I'm summoned, grant Epic items to 3 random cards in your deck.
- When I'm summoned, grant Epic items to 3 random cards in your deck.
Strategy
Designed specifically for the 10-star Zoe adventure, this build leverages Echoing Spirit for consistency and double Guardian's Orb for exponential scaling.
By repeatedly putting Lillia to sleep and summoning her, the Orbs continuously stack Epic items on the deck, providing the necessary stats and keywords to out-scale Zoe's aggressive board presence.
Other Relic Options
+2|+0 and Deathless. Power: When an ally dies, deal 1 to the enemy Nexus.
Power: Attacking Ephemeral allies can't take damage or die.
Support: Grant my supported ally Elusive.
When I'm summoned, grant me +1|+1 and a random keyword for every 30 cards that started in your deck.
+1|+1 and when I kill a unit, summon a random husk.
When I'm summoned, Stun the strongest enemy.
Players disagree about Guardian's Orb on Lillia. Some consider it a powerful scaling tool that generates immense value through repeated summons, while others find it too inconsistent because it frequently applies items to her temporary landmarks instead of units. Avoid relics with 'Play' effects, such as Scales of Judgment, because Lillia's core loop relies on 'Summon' triggers when she awakens. Additionally, Starforged Gauntlets should be avoided, as putting a champion to sleep releases any captured units.
Constellation
Lillia is exceptionally strong at 3 stars, capable of clearing the hardest adventures through methodical board control. Her higher constellation upgrades primarily serve to accelerate her game plan, transforming her from a slow control champion into an aggressive combo powerhouse.
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.
Crush
Allies have Overwhelm.Review
Players disagree about the Overwhelm provided by this upgrade. Some consider it unnecessary for standard control builds that rely on strikes, while others find it crucial for enabling aggressive one-turn kill strategies at higher constellation levels.
Manaflow
Game Start: Get a mana gem.Review
This upgrade provides a massive power spike by granting an extra mana gem, allowing Lillia to be played on turn one and significantly accelerating her board control engine.
Dreamwoven Spirits
Each round, the first time you play a unit, summon an Ephemeral copy of it attacking.Review
This upgrade transforms her playstyle by summoning an attacking ephemeral copy upon play. It enables highly aggressive combo strategies utilizing transform and duplication relics, offering a faster alternative to her traditional control loop.
Gameplay Tips
- Accelerate Animation Speed
Lillia's sleep and awaken animations are notoriously long and can make games feel tedious. It is highly recommended to set the game speed to 4x in the options menu to mitigate this issue.
- Defensive Sleep Tactics
Her sleep mechanic can be used defensively on your own units. Turning an ally into a landmark protects them from enemy removal spells or board wipes like Buried in Ice, ensuring they return safely the following round.
- Beware the Deadly Modifier
On higher difficulty adventures with the Deadly modifier, avoid putting enemy units to sleep. Sleeping enemies will awaken with doubled stats on the following turn, making them significantly harder to deal with. Focus on removing them with strikes instead.
- Thrice Bound Synergy
The 'Thrice Bound' adventure power synergizes incredibly well with Lillia. When she puts a cursed unit to sleep, the curse is removed upon awakening, and the unit rebuffs the entire board, leading to overwhelming stat advantages.
- Avoid Landmark Destruction Nodes
Be extremely cautious of adventure nodes that interact negatively with landmarks (such as specific nodes in the Teemo adventure). Because Lillia turns into a landmark when asleep, these nodes can instantly destroy her and end your run.
