When Poking safely from range with magic damage in lane or jungle

1. ESlow→
2. QDust→
3. WCenter

Tip Landing E slows the target and makes W's center easier to aim, but the slow does not guarantee W. Place the center ahead of their movement, then hit Q's outer edge when stepping close for true damage and a movement speed stack. Dream-Laden Bough damage and healing apply only after each spell actually connects.

When Applying the full short-range burst rotation after E's slow

1. ESlow→
2. QDust→
3. WCenter→
4. QRecast→
5. AutoBasic attack

Tip After E slows, aim W's center ahead of the target and clip them with Q's outer edge while approaching to build movement speed. W is neither a dash nor targeted, so it is not guaranteed against an enemy with mobility available. Use a second Q when its short cooldown returns and add the basic attack only at safe spacing.

When Applying Dream Dust, then sleeping with R and finishing on the wake-up

1. ESlow→
2. QDust→
3. WCenter→
4. RSleep→
5. AutoWake

Tip R affects only enemies carrying Dream Dust, so E, Q, or W must connect first. Wait through the 1.5-second Drowsy period until the target falls asleep, then wake them with a basic attack for the bonus 100 magic damage. W's long cooldown prevents a second cast in the same sequence, making a basic attack or Q the practical wake-up hit.

When Stacking Q movement speed to run down and finish a fleeing enemy

1. QSpeed→
2. ESlow→
3. QRecast→
4. WFinish

Tip With no dash, Q's stacking movement speed (up to 4) is Lillia's only chase tool. Build speed with Q, slow the target with E to close the gap, then finish with W. Note W is a damage strike, not a movement ability.
