Skarner vs Lillia Counter Pick

Lillia attacks from 325 units, an unusual reach for a melee-adjacent fighter and more than double Skarner’s 150. That number sits under everything else in a matchup Skarner loses at 45.3% across 212 jungle games measured on patch 16.13.1.

• Dream-Laden Bough. Any skill that connects with a champion or monster deals extra maximum-health damage over time, the same currency Skarner’s 2,500 health at level 18 is denominated in.
• Blooming Blows. Stacking movement speed on every spell hit, layered on 330 base, so Skarner’s 335 stops being an advantage almost immediately.
• Swirlseed. A rolling projectile that keeps travelling until it hits a wall or a target, so terrain does not shelter a retreating Skarner.
• Lilting Lullaby. Drowsy into sleep on everyone carrying Dream Dust, with bonus damage on waking, a group-wide reset that outreaches Impale’s single-target suppression.

Skarner’s route is contact. Ixtal’s Impact through terrain into a wall slam is the one opener Lillia’s speed cannot simply outrun, and Impale removes her from a fight entirely if it lands. He is also much harder to kill: 630 health and 33 armor against 605 and 22, ending at 2,500 and 109.5 against 2,390 and 98.5. Her magic damage into his 32 magic resist is the split he has to itemise for, not armor. Difficulty ratings are 8 for Lillia and 5 for Skarner. Kits: Skarner, Lillia.
