She’s oddly underrated yet very effective compared to most mages! Altho she isn’t like very ranged like most mages, she’s such a pain to deal with if ur laning against her as any melee or short ranged hero. Deals massive dmg, has an escape + heal skill that resets her stacks and very mobile for a mage. Definitely a solid mage if played right! _Unless ur facing a team full of assassins that can quickly take you out or marksmen that outrange your skills_

I still remember Lylia would get five charges immediately after the first respawn. She used to dominate in slowing the enemy from getting a buff. However, she was nerfed a few seasons ago.

As a global glory Lylia I can say this is a great tutorial, but I'd like to add some points at combos and laning. Most of Lylias waste all shadow energys in the first minute trying to get the first blood on the enemy mid laner; This may work if you're mythic V, but if you are a little bit higher you're gonna waste all your balls without killing anyone, simply because any good player knows how to avoid getting killed. When the enemy is hard to catch because of how they move or predict you, instead of spamming 2nd skill recklessly, just use second skill one time, make it blow and before throwing another 2nd, cast 1st on the enemy - you're gonna slow him down - and then use 2nd skill: this way you're gonna hit him for sure. If the enemy mid laner is weaker than you (for example a 1v1 Lylia vs Cecilion in lane), instead of chasing him without getting any kill, just zone him out from the minion wave. For what concerns the emblem set up and the build: magic shop is the best imo and the build used by you is good. Mine is practically the same: cd boots, talisman, antiheal most of the time, ice queen, genius wand and last item depends on the situation. Most of the time I build holy crystal and sell shoes to build queen's wings, just because I'm recklessly confident on my position during the teamfight, but if you ain't as mad as me just go for a defence item or for double penetration and everything is gonna be fine.

I suggest elgin to make a guide to all heroes cause the way he explains them is so very understandable

As a lylia main, I also recommend aegis as a substitute for purify! I often use aegis to absorb damage when cc-ed so u can survive then use ur ult after. Good for countering heroes with both cc and burst damage like eudora, aurora, guinevere, kagura., etc. Also good when ambushed because stacking ur 2nd skill may take time and u actually want to use ur ult when u reached the max stack so using aegis will absorb damage as u stack ur 2nd skill.

As a lylia main, here is my build for her Arcane boot Clock of destiny (more power, hp and mana) Lightning truncheon ice wand queen genius wand holy crystal Mastery 3/3 Observation 3/3 Magic Workshop If you aim lylia's first skill to second skill, she gets more speed and hard to kill because she has ultimate to restore her hp. and by the way, I am senior no.3 lylia here in our city. Hope you try lylia because she is powerfull early to late game

Wow! Lylia main here. We were just talking about Lylia in the comment section from your last video hehehe. Cause many were surprise that she has 7 points difficulty. I also use flicker and purify spell on her. Purify when there are many enemies with cc. Flicker for escape and useful when I need to reposition. She's a very good hero to harass the enemy early game. That's why I also like using her in gold lane because she can really give the opponents especially MMs a headache due her slow and damage. Sometimes, I play aggressively when there is like one enemy in the tower and the other enemies are present far in the map. I tower dive the enemy 😂 (detonate 2nd - flicker in - spam 2nd - ulti out). But this is not applicable all the time especially if the enemy you're trying to kill has cc or has immo/winter truncheon/high HP. Also in higher rank many enemies can outplay you so you have to be careful and dont be over aggressive cause you're squishy.

She's in the meta last season, she's great counter for characters like aulus

Tip for catching moving targets: use 1-2 combo instead of the usual 2-1 since they can easily run away when you cast the 2nd first. But 1-2 combo needs to be tapped quickly to be effective.

LYLIA haven't got an adjustment since release except the removal of her stacks in the start of the game

Did you know she can absorb the 2nd skill of eudora and she can also escape from aldous, and also her ultimate is like beneddeta's immunity.. i bet you some players didnt know that.

Ah finally, my main hero! Lylia will always be one of the top 5 mages, for me. She's so powerful yet underrated. And that is why we need more Lylia skins😭

another counter for lylia and other close range mages like valentina and faramis is longer range. without a setup from a tank or setting up an ambush, she can be outzoned or outpoked, making her ult less useful at activation

Another tip is that her 2nd skill works like a ward so if u put one in bushes it'll give u and your team a vision, so i'd recommend to put those wards while taking objectives, just keep an eye of your distance since walking too far away from it will cause the ward to disappear.

If your fingers are fast enough, you can try using 1st skill first and then placing 2nd skill before it disappears. That way the enemy gets slowed down twice by both skills and deals extra damage cause of the immediate explosion. You can often get first blood if you position and time it right during the literal first minute of the game.

Tip for explosion. Just keep on tapping her skill 2 if your are facing heroes without dash skills or if they have used their dash. They will die in almost an instant. You will also be able to use her explosion at higher speeds if your just spam without aiming then when you finished all 5 (or 6 if you have 40-45% cd reduction), you can just time to use ult again so you can keep spamming her explosions. 10-12 explosions total and it can surely kill even a tank.

i'm happy that this video will make lylia get more attention buuut i hope she won't get THAT popular assuming that popular picks always get nerf. She's not even op, the explosion delay in her 2nd skill balance her high damage so if the devs decided to nerf her damage, imma cry real hard lmao

currently the mage that I am using quite often. thanks elgin for all the guides and tips. all your efforts are well appreciated :)

Whenever I come against her idk if it is just me I am always suprised at how much damage she deals especially in the early game

Lylia: the hero who is OP but underrated

Best guide I've ever seen! Congratulations! It also helps in understanding Lylia better!

Here's my other tips as a Lylia main -As i observed from players who are just new at playing lylia, they usually deploy all her 2nd skill in one place and then explode it(usually done in early game). NO DON'T DO THAT ITS A HUGE WAIST OF 2ND SKILL!😭😭 -Be aggressive! Also don't just tap-tap your 2nd skill (in explosion state) since there's a huge chance that you won't hit the enemy. AIM AND PREDICT -Always be careful and make sure you combine her 1st and 2nd skill. Your damage relies on her explosions on her 2nd skill AND IF YOU FAIL TO DO THE COMBO YOU WILL BE USELESS ESPECIALLY ON CLASHES (I swear this is a pain in the ass sometimes lmao) -One gloom at a time. As I've said earlier don't deploy your 2nd skills all at one. (Edit) If you do this mistake, you can't control where the gloom explodes resulting from missing all the damages. Also it's a huge waist of 2nd skill. That's why one gloom at a time. -If you're chasing an enemy, cast first skill first then 2nd. You need to be quick on executing this combo. If you fail, the shadow orb(2nd skill) won't explode. -Pay attention to your ultimate and use it wisely.

Lylia is so underrated (even tho you can see her at pro plays) just like carmilla xD

THANKK YOUU ELGIN FOR RECOGNIZING MYYY MAINN She can be used on exp lane too to get lvl 4 early. I prefer burst build to her than cooldown build. The higher the magic power the better. And getting first blood early than 1 minute is very satisfying to this hero (with flameshot). I really loved her ever since her release in advanced server up to this day. I will never regret myself for being a lylia main😭 LYLIA STANSSS😭😭😭

We need more guides like this

Lylia is an op mage a while ago but eventually faded up because of the nerf on her second skill which make her 2nd skill stack at 1 upon respawn. Not to mention the new anti mage item Radiant Armour which gladly counter her combo damage

Watching all ur videos, but I love this kind of video. Quick guide of using heros and build. It helps a lot of new user and some of old player which less using certain heroes. I hope u can make a playlist like this video to all heroes too..

Thank you for this intensive guide. Looking forward to more of these hero guide... This is supper helpful.

Thank you so much for this video! As a lilya main, this quite helpful as I dont know a lot of things to lilya yet. I usually have a flame shoot or arrival for pushing back enemy and clearing lanes. I would have trouble when the enemy is expert gusion or that has a stun because I am unable to move and can't press my ultimate. I am expert lilya now! Thanks so much for this and I will surely try my best to use these tips and tricks you have given to us! 🤗❤️

As a lylia main, in the late game building immortality is a must and if your about to die I recommend you to try your very best use your ult first rather than relying on the immortality. Because if you rely on the immortality the black shoes will reset to the time that you resurrected, meaning by the time that you use your ult when you try to gain your hp back there's only 15-20% left on your current hp since the black shoes has been reset. Most of the time my battles spell is purify to protect my KDA in the game but if you're really confident that your enemy is just a pawn to you I recommend flameshot. Also lylia is good at chasing enemies, turret dive is a normal thing if you're a lylia main if your purify and ult is available turret diving is an easy thing. Lastly if chasing is a thing for lylia escaping using her passive is also a great way to escape. There's many more tips and trick using lylia try to master this hero and dash heroes like lancelot won't bother you anymore.

Bro I just buyed her literally seconds and you just uploaded guide

Finally!! I am so happy happy you made a video of her! :) She's my most favorite hero and I remember what a pain it was to master her. But no regrets. Indeed very underrated but super powerful :)

I wish they release more skins for her. She don't have any epic skin at all despite being used alot in mpl and also being a meta mage

As a Lylia main, others find it hard for Lylia to use well yes it is because she doesn't have any crowd control yet she have a slow but easy to counter with dash skills, she isn't a long range hero yet can counter melee heroes, her ult complex since it is the only escape skill she got, if the enemy knows that you used your ult then the enemies will probably kill you first, so you must distance yourself. I like Lylia because she have a good damage, can counter nana also and her ult is also like purify if you use it on the right timing. If your team has already a mage and you still used Lylia you can convince them that you go gold lane if the enemy have a weak marksman so you can dominate them and make them lose a lot of gold (be careful you might got gank though) Also as a mid laner Lylia, I always like to rotate to the GOLD LANE if the enemy is having a problem or need help and always go with the TANK, especially when contesting the litho since Lylia is a early game monster. EXP LANE Lylia is also good, you can also counter chou, aldous, alice in the EARLY GAME, if possible bait them with your ulti, if you're going to tower dive you must always look at your hp so you can use your ult at the right timing. Playing SIDE LANE must ALWAYS join clash if possible and CLEAR minions as soon as possible. If the turtle is on your side, they probably will contest it, so you must always join the clash. If your building a CD BUILD you ulti in the late game will be probably less than 18 seconds so you can spam your ulti anytime But if a damage build your ulti will be probably less than 23 seconds well I prefer damage build tho but you can build: Boots > Mana necklace > build enchanted talisman next > if you complete na recipe of the enchanted talisman buy MAGIC BOOTS > then build ENCHANTED TALISMAN > build CLOCK OF DESTINY > LIGHTNING TRUNCHEON > MAGIC NECKLACE or GENIUS WAND or HOLY CRYSTAL or IMMORTALITY > and last is DIVINE GLAIDE since probably the enemies will build athena sheild. If the enemies build radiant armor just laught because Lylia isn't Chang'e, yes her damage is continously yet athena sheild is BETTER to counter LYLIA.

You can actually use your first then second for no delay of your explosion, you could say it's like xavier (1+2)

She needs a Epic,Collector or Event Skin Collab

Elgin title: Tiny But Powerful Me: Oh U mean tiny Pen...

As a lyl main, here's random tips from what I've seen in all my Lylia games and enemies and build?(I guess) I don't rly like lightning truncheon (most lyl enemies or allies I've seen, do this) cuz it takes 6 secs for lightning truncheon to cooldown when enemies are most likely alrdy dead, so more dmg. Since she's early game hero, you may be tempted to build clock which is decent enough but I suggest more dmg My build Reduce cd boots>enchanted talisman>ice queen>genius>holy crystal or fire wand>a def item(either athena,winter,immo, antique) or necklace if anti heal is rly needed. Also, concentrated energy is good if the enemies are defending their base, unli hp as long as there's minions For me necklace is most of the time unnecessary cuz they die before they can kill. Glowing wand if the enemies are tanky since it deals continuous dmg Emblem: Magic worship For me that's the best for lyl, can also be impure rage BUT it triggers every 5 secs Magic worship is 12 secs but that extra fire effect can help u kill them if they manage to escape with low hp. And don't be afraid to tower dive if the enemies are only immobilize, you'll most likely escape and kill them such as Odette or miya. For WANWAN: idk if all the wanwans I met are inexperienced or not but as long as u have a lil distance u can kill her easily with about 3-4 balls For ALL FAST heroes: if they're good, goodbye, u can't do anything since you'll most likely die before you deal damage since she needs aiming :) The first tip I should've known before I played Lylia: FIRST BLOOD: it's not really necessary to always get first blood, you're either gonna end up dying or waste too much mana in early game but if there's a chance, go for it..like ceci flameshot or Odette flicker(most likely heroes will attempt to save flicker than their life), if they did flicker, now u can kill them the next time easier OR they can't flicker combo which may be deadlier. Don't try to save ulti unless ur winning by a huge margin in late,even in a 1v1 U may die cuz u thought you may kill without ult..a mistake I did many times

Extra tip: When using her energy balls as wards and you want to go somewhere else like an ongoing teamfight, you can can activate it with your Skill 1 so it will only disappear after a few seconds even if you are far away! This is useful for showing stalking enemies on the map. A few seconds of vision in an area is very useful for the team! Best used when activated in busy bushes (ie bush near enemy blue buff etc.)

More of such informative contents, please!!It's really helpful.

This should be a series called "Underated Hero Tips"😂👏

Finally Elgin talking about lylia! Ive been waiting for this :))

One of my main heroes, I use lylia in rank, she's very useful in clashes specially if u already have the ice queen wand. She can also clear lanes quicker than other mages (very helpful in late games if you need someone to defend the base). Plus you can chase low hp heroes without worrying as long as you have your ulti to get away quickly.

Yes finnallyyy somebody realized the power of lylia sad that there isn't a new skin for her just A painted skin

Love the new editing style!!

You can build her Magic Shoes > Talisman > Ice Queen Wand > Shadow Twin blade > Winter Truncheon > Immortality Combo is Basic attack and instant 1st skill but before the 1st skill lands, place a 2nd skill to its path, in that sense, it reduces the delay of her 2nd skill. The slow from your basic attack adds additional slow effects (passive of shadow twinblade) lasting enough before your ice queen wand took effect. Her 1 > 2 combo is commonly used by xavier and selena. But a delay in pressing the 2nd skill will lead you to a fail attempt. Lylia can be use against heroes who relies more on stationary skills such as pharsa, odette, yve, lunox, etc. You are effective against marksman in the early to mid game but be careful in late game because she is quite squishy and can be easily burst down. She is annoying to most of the fighters but hard ccs are her weakness as mentioned in the video.

Lylia paired with diggie is nightmare, lylia can no longer worry from being CC except suppressed. Diggie's 2nd skill can also help lylia's bomb.

Elgin is now making guides, I hope he makes more of these.

Lylia is powerful from early to late sheee

Been using this for a long time, and I can tell you it's super fun using this I didn't even knew it was underated lol

New KZfaqr from Mlbb here to support you. Never give up and keep going❤

You can put the pts in emblem's row1 to CDR. Since you already have enormous speed with her passive, it's good to have additional 5% to her CDR.

It would be a good combo if you stay in a bush for 5 seconds, while landing all her "black bombs" on one specific place. And when an enemy enters the bush, you use her first skill, all the extra bombs which are available, then skill 3, then all the 5 bombs again. The enemy will be tortured, especially if you already have Ice Queen Wand 😂

amazing video💯💯💯 nice game idol💪💪👍👍 Support from Malaysia🔥

I always go for the first wave mid lane kill, you can get up to 3.5 charges of skill 2 then proceed to attack, if you kill the enemy mage then good, if you didn't, most often than not, you have managed to zone him out of the first wave. Win win for me. Lylia is also the best in pursuing enemies, I can tank a few shots from the tower to pursue enemies and hit Ult to return when HP falls low. If Lylia pushed along with the upgraded Lord, even if it's 5v5, it's over! They'll have a hard time defending that. Another note, Since I got 5% CD from emblems, I use magic boots instead of the cd boots, along with talisman and necklace. Having magic boots keeps me alive against Vale and other cc heroes as the cc ends a bit shorter so I can Ult before I got hit.

As a lylia main I'm so proud that my baby is finally getting some recognition :>

Lylia is a really op character

it would be good to put a stun on the first explosion giving the time to spam

Hey mr. Elgin actually I am good at lylia I got 114 MVPs I can teach someone to use lylia! 1.early game: Damage of emblem 2.emblem: Lethat ignition,bounty hunter, crit damage 3. Build: Subscribe me first! 4.rotation: Help assasin on 0:10 and go to mid lane in 0:11 then kill minions then ignore your ally minion then help your marksman then go back to your lane on 1:00 push once then go to exp lane on 1:20 then push again and ambush first on exp lane then go back to your lane on 3:00 push until it is 5:00 then you can do whatever you want

I was a lylia Main before makes me wanna go back seeing this vid!

7:10 That one cyclops thinking 2 metas ahead using vengeance

OMG I always thought that her Ulti regens her HP and 2nd skill. Thank you for this informational video Elgin!

I remember playing against a Lylia late game. The little girl can defend the base from minion waves as if Cecillion was her teacher.

finally some awareness for her , i main her and seldom does anyone snatch her away from me cuz no one use her . But she's too powerful :DD

Everitiem... Everitiem... I use lylia both in ranked and classic i always got mythic class enemy, great player, stategical and hard to face.... And mostly ended losing But when i use other mage the enemy devolved to be master and GM class player.... Well Done moontod sytem, you make patient men become Hulk

Bruh, I tried Lylia some time ago but failed because I don't know how to use her because the guides are outdated, mostly 1-2 years ago. Tnx for the guide, such a coincidence

Yes, Lylia is a good mage. She's more than all rounder mage compare to other mage like Cecilion, Yve, Vale, etc. She has cc (slow), damage, fast minion-clearing ability, good high ground defender, and can be a bait to waste the enemies skill with purify and her ultimate 😍

I think the new running spell is also her counter too.

I rarely use her after the nerf. She used to be so much fun esp when she got all 5 charges at the start of the game.

I really learnt a lot from ur yu zhong tutorial and now i m a gud black dragon player :) And now this guide Thank you man ,i think i ll try lylia too

used her before when she was free and she was hella fun to play but didn't really thought about buying her but now i want to buy her

She deserves epic skin.

Yesterday I have a teammate using lylia she was the MVP. She kills a lot

I see, you're planning to become a hero spotlight host! You're perfect!

Nice timing since I plan to learn how to play her currently

Yeah lylia is underrated but annoying she is a counter to heroes Like Argus, Dyrroth and Aulus btw Elgin can you please 🥺 do a dyrroth guide

It is a plus if you have a tank that is good in setting, so that you can easily put those bombs.

I learn something new, and I regret always do the 1st and 2nd skill trick, HAHAAHAH. I always do the 1st2nd trick I swear i don't ever think to use my 2nd skill before 1st skill and it's sometimes failed because only 1st skill summoned but the 2nd skill not, and now i see your video I realized it's much better if I use may 2nd skill before 1st skill it's much easier rather than 1st2nd skill trick.

Very detailed tutorial 👌 make more of this elgin about the not very popular heroes

Elgin:Marsman usually has lower damage in early game Bea,Brody,Clint:Am I a Joke to you

I would actually recommend magic penetration boots since you're planning to build the magic talisman early, it already has mana regeneration and cool down reduction, after you got the magic talisman she's really stable althrough out the game

As a lylia main i was being much more focus on cooldown buikds cause of the slow effect of every skills it have and the skills of it is already high dmg

Underrated hero. She's been my go to mage ever since she war release. 🤷‍♂️ Main hero on my 2nd account.

As Lylia main I hate it when I'm facing assassin heroes like Lancelot or saber

You can also use 1st skill first and then use 2nd skill on the 1st skill while it is traveling to cut down the explosion delay of the 2nd skill.

She's actually my main hero since she's very versatile

plus during that milllisecond after ult u get an invincibility frame and will not be affected by anything.

about lylia's ultimate skill. on enemies and allies pov, you cant see the mark on lylia but only the black shoes, making it a little bit difficult to know if she has her ultimate on or not. :)

As a former top 6 global lylia I used either the 2-1 combo or the 1-2 combo but your hands should be fast enough to do the 1-2 combo. My build for the little mage are: Magic shoes Talisman Ice queen Holy crystal Divine glaive Genius wand For emblem is mystery shop For battle spell: Flicker Aegis Purify

Lylia and Yve is underrated powerful

Lylia is a high class mage this hero always appear in biggest stage specially in M WORLD TOURNAMENT ..m1 to m3 she is meta

Heroes with high mobility is really the main counter of Lylia especially Benedetta, Ling, Fanny, Lancelot, Claude, Harley like most of them are assassins and it's struggling to aim the 2nd skill towards them.

she's getting recognition she deserved but i hope moonton will not nerf her

My man i always love your guides and update❤

She's the argus of mages, when you think you got her she'll pop back to full hp -_-

Sprint is very good now, it gives much much more travel distace than you could do with a flicker, although it cant be as surprising as a flicker

She's top tier mage on higher rank because she can clear minion faster than other mage 🌷

u can cast your first skill prior to placing your energy ball. its like throwing abyssal arrow before placing the trap with selena or that other xavier combo that I see e2max do.

I am a lylia user and this makes me rank faster

choose Lylia, if you want to disolve tanky fighters fast. The funny thing about Lylia is when she is hiding in the bush, the shoes only follows a few second later.. "I know you're there lylia😂"
