Illaoi
Abilities
- Notes
- Tentacles do not spawn in the Nexus Obelisk's attack range and on ally invulnerable structures.
- Impassable terrain also includes player-made terrain and terrain that is passable by a team but not by the other (e.g. base gates)
- The Tentacle will continue its spawn animation and be able to start an attack, after the animation ends, even if Illaoi or a Vessel are not nearby.
- If Illaoi uses Harsh Lesson during Tentacles' spawn animation, they won't attack but the SFX of the attack will still be heard.
- If this happens, after the Tentacle finishes its spawn animation, it will be unable to start an attack for its remaining attack SFX.
- Notes
- Tentacle Smash's hitbox is fixed in front of Illaoi, while the indicator on the ground is fixed to the targeted direction.
- If Illaoi is not visible, the slam will be seen but it will not be heard.
- Notes
- The bonus damage doesn't apply life steal but it does apply spell vamp.
- PENDING FOR TEST: Omnivamp
- Harsh Lesson is made of two different abilities which are decided by Illaoi's range to the target, being either melee or within dash range.
- The close range ability:
- Is an unstoppable basic attack.
- Can be used while grounded or rooted. If Illaoi attack commands and then casts Harsh Lesson, she will use the close range Harsh Lesson even if the target is beyond her melee range.
- Starting the attack before triggering Guardian Angel's passive and hitting while she's in it will not cause the Tentacles to slam.
- Starting the attack before the target becomes untargetable will still cause the Tentacles to slam the target.
- Does trigger Hail of Blades.
- Triggers Energized effects on-hit.
- If the empowered attack duration ends during the attack animation, the attack won't be empowered.
- Is an
- The dash range ability:
- Is not unstoppable, meaning effects that can interrupt the dash will cancel the attack and put the ability on cooldown. Flash and Zhonya's Hourglass cannot be used during the dash.
- Can be cast but cannot be used while grounded or rooted because Illaoi loses the bonus attack range.
- Starting the attack before the target becomes untargetable will not make Tentacles slam.
- Does not trigger Hail of Blades.
- Triggers Energized effects during the jump.
- Having enough attack speed will perform an unusual dunk.
- Having increased size will increase the range of her Harsh Lesson but the indicator range will not change.
- If the empowered attack duration ends during the dash, the buff will linger until the attack has finished.
- Is not unstoppable, meaning effects that can interrupt the dash will cancel the attack and put the ability on cooldown.
- Spell shields will not prevent the Tentacle slam, unless a dash range Harsh Lesson has been used.
- Parries ( dodge, block, blind) will block the damage and will not trigger Tentacle slams, with the exception of:
- If the target dies at the moment Harsh Lesson hits the target, it will be consumed and put on cooldown, without making Tentacles slam.
- The Tentacle attacking because of Harsh Lesson is considered to be part of it, and thus will not grant additional stacks of Conqueror, Electrocute, Phase Rush and Tribute.
- Using it together with Dead Man's Plate will grant an additional stack of Conqueror.
- Harsh Lesson's bonus damage applies before Blade of the Ruined King's damage.
- Harsh Lesson triggers Bone Plating and one of its plates with the same attack.
- Attack moving while charging Hexflash will delay the attack.
- Notes
- Spirits are classified as clones:
- Spirits can only be targeted by Illaoi's team and neutral monsters. The Spirit's allies cannot target it.
- Spirits take 50% damage from turrets and do not cause turrets to Warm Up their attacks.
- Spirits cannot be healed nor shielded ( Summon Aery excluded).
- The Spirit levels up when the Vessel does. Doing so will increase the Spirit's health, armor, and magic resist, and additionally extend its lifetime by 1 second.
- Illaoi cannot cast Test of Spirit again until the Spirit is gone.
- Redirected damage is calculated by taking the pre-mitigation damage, applying Test of Spirit's damage modifier, and then capping it to the Spirit's current health. This damage will then be affected by damage modifiers (resistances and other effects) of the Vessel.
- If the Spirit's damage modifier is lower than the Vessel's, it will cause an increase in total redirected damage, else it will cause a decrease.
- If the Spirit's damage modifier is higher than Test of Spirit's, it will cause an increase in total redirected damage, else it will cause a decrease. The difference in damage is up to a cap.
- Illaoi needs 937.5 / 875 / 812.5 / 750 / 687.5 total AD to reach 100% redirected damage. As per above, the damage is still dependent on the Spirit's and Vessel's damage modifiers and may not always be able to deal 100% of the target's current health as total redirected damage.
- The damage displayed as being received by the Spirit is not representative of the damage redirected to the Vessel, as the combat text shown adjacent to the Spirit uses the Spirit's resistances.
- Spell shields may only prevent the initial spirit grab and the slow upon becoming a Vessel. Spell shields will not prevent becoming a Vessel or Tentacles from attacking.
- The spirit pull is not considered a crowd control effect and will not be blocked by crowd control immunity, with the exception of Morgana's Black Shield.*
- If the target becomes a Vessel within range of a dormant Tentacle, that Tentacle will skip its first attack.
- The tentacle model of the first cast is connected to Illaoi's body and will stop moving when Illaoi does (e.g stasis, sleep, airborne). However, the projectile will not, and will be able to hit enemies away from its model position. It will also not be seen by enemies if Illaoi is not visible, but it will be heard if the tentacle passes through their vision.
- Test of Spirit will fire from wherever Illaoi is at the end of the cast time towards the same pointed location.
- Grabbing the Spirit of a champion that has their resource bar white (i.e Flow) will make the Spirit's lifetime (the white bar below the lifebar) disappear.
- Grabbing the Spirit of a target that is camouflaged while they are being revealed by a Control Ward will make the Spirit also invisible.
- Only Illaoi can see who's been Vesseled, with their model covered in watery effects. The Vessel itself will instead have its screen covered in watery effects.
- The Vessel status effect is a debuff that doesn't persist through death.
- If the enemy champion is resurrecting when the conditions for becoming a Vessel are met, then they will not revive as a Vessel.
- Runes consider the Spirit as a champion for their effects and stat-tracking.
- Transferred damage will apply on-damage effects, such as Black Cleaver, Morellonomicon, Executioner's Calling, Aspect of the Dragon burn damage.
- PENDING FOR TEST: Healing from Omnivamp
- Transferred damage will not doubly apply on-hit or on-spell effects versus the target (e.g. Liandry's Anguish, Phase Rush stacks). These effects are only applied versus the Spirit.
- Attacking the Vessel and its Spirit simultaneously will only apply one stack of Black Cleaver to the Vessel.
- Transferred damage will not doubly apply on-hit or on-spell effects versus the target (e.g.
- Once the Spirit vanishes, whether defeated or not, Illaoi will get 1 creep score in-game (not included in the post-game counter).
- The Spirit is immune to stasis (i.e. Bard's Tempered Fate).
- Fiora's Riposte can be used to prevent becoming a Vessel if used before the Spirit is killed or while leaving the tether's range.
- Sion's Spirit cannot be spawned during Glory in Death. Spirits created before Sion's zombie state will remain active.
- If the target that had its Spirit pulled from them is taken into the Realm of Death, the tether will break, but they will not be made into a Vessel.
- Notes
- Leap of Faith's effects are centered around Illaoi at the end of the cast time.
- Flash can be used during the cast time to reposition her.
- Clones also count as champions for the summoning of the Tentacle.
- Illaoi spawns the Tentacle 725 range away from her, unless there's a natural wall blocking the way making the Tentacle spawn on it, based on:
- The direction she's facing.
- She will always face at the nearest visible enemy champion, in Leap of Faith's range, the instant she leaps.
- If there's no enemy champion nearby, she faces in the direction of the cursor.
- Flashing mid-animation will change the spawning direction to where the cursor is pointed, regardless of the nearest enemy champion.
- She will always face at the nearest
- How many champions she hits.
- 1+ champions: one Tentacle at 0 degrees.
- 2+ champions: one Tentacle at 60 degrees.
- 3+ champions: one Tentacle at 300 degrees.
- 4+ champions: one Tentacle at 120 degrees.
- 5+ champions: one Tentacle at 240 degrees.
- 6+ champions: one Tentacle at 180 degrees.
- 1+ champions: one
- If there are no walls nearby, spawning the last Tentacle will form a perfect hexagon.
- The direction she's facing.
- Spell shields will block the ability's damage but will not prevent Tentacles from spawning.
- If Illaoi is near a Tentacle that is about to spawn, it will spawn buffed by Leap of Faith even if Illaoi is no longer nearby.
- Going into stasis (i.e - by resurrection) during the leap will not stop the ability from dealing damage or spawning Tentacles.
- Using Harsh Lesson after Illaoi drops down will command Tentacles to instantly attack, regardless if they were already attacking. Their old attack will keep on going and will hit while the second attack is on its animation attack.
- Using Harsh Lesson an instant before Leap of Faith's buff finishes will delay the Tentacle's attack.
