Jax vs Lillia

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize river and Scuttle vision control to limit Lillia's fast clear and objective pressure.
Focus on safe farming and scaling rather than early fights to avoid Lillia's mobility and sleep CC punish.
This matchup centers on tempo control and objective setup, not early invades due to Lillia's clear speed and escape tools.

Jungle Plan

Secure side camps and track Lillia's pathing to anticipate and counter her ganks.
Fight for river control and dragon vision after hitting item spikes and when lanes have priority to deny Lillia objective access.
Counter-gank aggressively when Lillia commits to ganks, using (E) to dodge damage and stun for favorable trades.

Danger windows

Early low-health clears expose you to risky counter-invades from Lillia's fast clear and mobility.
Isolated river fights before level 6 are dangerous due to Lillia's sleep CC and movement speed.
Forced smite fights around dragon are risky if Lillia's team holds lane priority and vision control.

Early game

Start with a full clear to match or slightly delay Lillia's tempo and avoid risky low-health camp fights.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority and can support fights.
Avoid early river invades before level 6 to reduce risk from Lillia's mobility and sleep CC.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), boosting durability and sustained damage; use this to contest extended fights and objectives.
Two-item spike greatly enhances dueling and splitpush threat; apply side-lane pressure to force Lillia to respond.
Respect Lillia's AP scaling and sleep CC post-level 6; avoid grouped fights where she can engage effectively.

Win conditions

Convert two-item side-lane pressure into Rift Herald or dragon control by forcing Lillia to respond.
Use (E) to negate Lillia's damage and punish overextensions or wasted mobility.
Deny Lillia free farm and tempo by counter-jungling when lanes have priority and vision secures safe invades.
