Hecarim vs Lillia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Hecarim's fast clear speed to keep jungle tempo high and punish Lillia's overextensions early.
Prioritize contesting river control and objective setups where Hecarim's engage can catch Lillia before she uses (E) sleep or (R) ultimate.

Jungle Plan

Cycle camps quickly to maintain tempo and look for ganks on extended lanes before Lillia can respond.
Use river control to contest Scuttle and set up objective fights, forcing Lillia into unfavorable engages.
Track Lillia's pathing to counter-gank her early pressure and punish her lower invade resistance by invading after her clears.

Danger windows

Respect Lillia's early movement speed and (E) sleep combo when isolated in river or jungle paths.
Avoid low-health clears where Lillia can invade and force smite fights.
Be cautious contesting objectives if lane priority is lost, as Lillia's teamfight sleep can swing fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward lanes that push forward to maximize early level and item spikes.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counterganks.
Avoid early direct invades unless you can collapse with lanes, as Lillia's speed and sleep can punish isolated fights.

Power spikes

Hecarim's mid-game item spikes and (R) fear engage increase gank threat; use these to force fights before Lillia scales.
Lillia's fast clear and (E) sleep setup improve her objective control; respect her threat during grouped fights.
Hecarim's (E) charge grants dueling power; capitalize on this before Lillia reaches AP scaling power spikes.

Win conditions

Convert fast clear tempo into aggressive counter-jungling to deny Lillia's scaling.
Use (R) fear engage to initiate objective fights when Lillia is forced to group.
Punish overextended lanes with high-mobility ganks to snowball leads and control dragon and Rift Herald.
