Abilities
Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.
Tentacle Smash
Increases the damage dealt by Tentacles. When activated, Illaoi smashes down a Tentacle that deals physical damage.
Harsh Lesson
Illaoi leaps to her target, dealing physical damage and causing nearby Tentacles to also swing at the target.
Test of Spirit
Illaoi rips the spirit from a foe's body, forcing it to stand before her. Spirits echo a percentage of the damage they take to the original target. If killed, or if the target gets too far from the spirit, the target will become a Vessel and begin spawning Tentacles.
Leap of Faith
Illaoi smashes her idol into the ground, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies. A Tentacle spawns for each enemy champion hit.
