In League of Legends Swarm, Illaoi acts as a super durable tank while also dealing out some of the best damage in the bullet-shooter mode. With the right weapons and passives, you can literally stand in one spot and wipe out hordes of enemies with your tentacles. Here is the best LoL Swarm Illaoi build at launch that you should go for.
Best Illaoi build for Swarm
As Illaoi, you’ll deal massive amounts of damage while barely taking any yourself as long as you have the proper build. You’ll mostly specialize around your Tentacle Slam champion ability and evolve it into Grizzly Smash. However, you’ll also want to grab some tanky Passives as well as some further damage options to really take advantage of Illaoi’s unique abilities. Here is the best Illaoi build in Swarm:
Best Illaoi Weapons in Swarm
Like most Champions in Swarm, Illaoi is at her best when her Tentacle Slam is fully upgraded and evolved into Grizzly Smash. At this time, her tentacles have a chance of being bigger and stronger, and the Duration Passive makes it so you can have many tentacles at once. Paired with her ultimate that spawns 6 tentacles as well, you can eventually have a whole screen of tentacles slamming everything with ease, wiping out the entire map. You’ll also want the best Illaoi weapons for Swarm:
- Tentacle Slam evolved into Grizzly Smash (Requires Duration Passive)
- Battle Bunny Crossbow evolved into Bunny Prime Ballista (Requires Critical Chance Passive)
- Bunny Mega-Blast evolved into Rabid Rabbit Raindown (Requires Critical Chance Passive)
- Gatling Bunny-Guns evolved into Double Bun-Bun Barrage (Requires Duration Passive)
- Statikk Sword evolved into Prumbis’s Electrocarver (Requires Max Health)
Best Illaoi Passives for Swarm
First and foremost, you need to make sure you max out Duration to increase how many tentacles you have on the map at once. From there, you want to focus tanky Passives like Health Regen and Max Health while also grabbing some further damage Passives. Duration is a must, but aside from that it’s up to you if you want to go 3 damage Passives and 2 tanky Passives or vice versa. Look for these best Illaoi Passives in Swarm:
- Duration
- Damage
- Health Regen
- Max Health
- Ability Haste
- Critical Chance OR Armor
How to unlock Illaoi in Swarm
Illaoi is one of the easier champions to unlock in Swarm and all it requires is for you to upgrade the weapon Radian Field to Level 4. Load up any map, with any Champion, and when you level up make sure to choose Radiant Field if and when available. From here, just make sure you upgrade Radiant Field every time it is possible for you to do so. Once you reach Radiant Field Level 4 you’ll unlock Illaoi permanently as a champion regardless if you successfully complete the map or die.
