Illaoi spawns Tentacles on nearby terrain that swing at spirits, Vessels, and Harsh Lesson victims, damaging and healing her.
Illaoi slams a tentacle, dealing physical damage and empowering other tentacles.
Illaoi leaps to a target, making nearby Tentacles also strike them.
Illaoi rips out a foe's spirit; damage to it is echoed to the target, and killing it or breaking the tether makes them a Vessel that spawns Tentacles.
Illaoi leaps and slams the ground, spawning a tentacle per enemy champion hit.
Illaoi excels in ARAM by controlling chokepoints with her tentacles, using her E to poke and her ultimate to turn teamfights in tight spaces.
In ARAM, use your E to pull spirits from behind minions or walls to safely harass.
Maximize your W's damage by casting it after landing an E to spawn more tentacles.
Position near walls or bushes to place tentacles in hard-to-reach spots for enemies.
Save your ultimate for tight corridors or when multiple enemies are grouped to maximize tentacle slams.
Use your Q to poke and slow enemies, especially when they're near your tentacles.

R -> W -> Q: Activate ultimate, then W to slam tentacles, followed by Q for damage.
E -> R -> W: Pull a spirit, then ult to spawn multiple tentacles, and W to trigger them.
