Skarner vs Lillia Counter Pick

Lillia’s attacks reach 325 units, which is remarkable for a fighter that plays close to melee and more than twice Skarner’s 150. That gap shapes the whole matchup, which Skarner loses 45.3% of the time across 212 jungle games on patch 16.13.1.

• Dream-Laden Bough. Every skill that hits a champion or monster adds bonus maximum-health damage over time. Skarner’s 2,500 health at level 18 is measured in that same resource.
• Blooming Blows. Each spell hit grants stacking movement speed on top of a 330 base, so Skarner’s 335 advantage fades almost right away.
• Swirlseed. This rolling projectile keeps moving until it strikes a wall or a target, which means cover offers a retreating Skarner little protection.
• Lilting Lullaby. Anyone carrying Dream Dust gets lulled to sleep and takes bonus damage on waking. It hits the whole group at once, reaching further than Impale’s single-target lockdown.

Skarner has to force contact. Ixtal’s Impact followed by a wall slam through terrain is the one opener Lillia’s speed cannot simply escape, and a landed Impale takes her out of the fight completely. He is also far tankier: 630 health and 33 armor against her 605 and 22, rising to 2,500 and 109.5 versus 2,390 and 98.5. Her magic damage meets his 32 magic resist, so his itemisation should lean toward magic resistance rather than armor. Difficulty ratings are 8 for Lillia and 5 for Skarner. Kits: Skarner, Lillia.
