Kit overview (start with S1+S2 since they define the hero)

Skill 1 — Gloom + shockwave

• Magic damage in an area.
• Applies 30% slow for 1.5s.
• Looks like a simple AoE, but its real role is to detonate dark energy spheres placed by S2.

Skill 2 — Dark Energy Sphere

• Magic damage + 80% slow to enemies hit.
• Charge system: 5 max charges, regenerates 1 charge every 6s. Cooldown is reduced by CDR items.
• Spheres stay on the field indefinitely — they only disappear if Lylia walks too far away.
• Lylia starts the match with S2 already unlocked (she effectively begins the game at L2). Pressure lane from second 0.

Sphere–Gloom interaction (the whole hero):

• Gloom devours any sphere it touches → sphere detonates dealing extra magic damage.
• After consuming the first sphere, Gloom lingers on the field for a few seconds, devouring more spheres in range as you place them.
• Each devour increases the next detonation's damage by +20%, capping at +80% at the final stage. Gloom visually grows larger.
• Each Gloom hit on an enemy reduces S2 cooldown by 20% → the engine that lets you spam spheres in extended fights.

Passive — movement speed

• While Gloom is on the field, Lylia gets +15% MS within Gloom's range.
• Each sphere Gloom devours adds +5% MS, up to +25% additional, capping at +40% MS total.
• Lets her kite, reposition, and chase reliably.

Ultimate — Time Rewind (with magical shoes)

• Magical shoes follow Lylia with a 4-second delay.
• Activating ult → instantly returns Lylia to the shoes' position (where she was 4s ago) and restores HP/mana to that prior state — a true "time rewind".
• Bonus: restores +10% max HP (+20% at max rank) and +20% MS for 2s (+4s at max rank).
• Late-game this makes her extremely hard to kill.

Combos

Lylia is not a combo-heavy hero. Her game is the S1 ↔ S2 synergy.

Basic combo:

1. S2 to drop a sphere.
2. S1 immediately, aimed at the sphere → Gloom detonates it.

Critical execution note: after the first detonation, manually aim S1 instead of tap-spamming. Gloom only devours spheres within its range. If you spam-place spheres outside Gloom's leash, you waste damage and rotation.

Wave clear: drop several spheres along the wave path, then cast Gloom — chain detonations clear the wave nearly instantly.

Advanced (harder timing): cast Gloom first, then drop a sphere directly in front of it. Since Gloom lingers, it devours the sphere as soon as it enters range — instant detonation that's hard for enemies to react to.

Build (mage, CDR + magic pen + DoT focus)

Emblem: Mage emblem. Talents (subject to balance updates): Inspire → Bargain Hunter → Lethal Ignition. Battle Spell: Flicker (mobility/repositioning) or Purify (vs heavy CC). Pick per draft.

Tips

• Early game is strong because S2 is unlocked at L1. Pressure lane immediately, force missed CS, or clear wave fast and rotate.
• Stay safe distance — she's mobile but vulnerable to high-burst CC. Use Gloom's range to pressure from far.
• Slow chains force escape tools. Once enemies burn flicker/dash, you chase them down with passive MS + 80% S2 slow.
• Always aim spheres inside Gloom's range — that's where the +20%/devour damage scaling and +5%/devour MS come from.
• Ult positioning: before pressing ult, look at where the magical shoes are. That's where you'll teleport. Used carelessly, she returns to a deadly position. Used well, she dives a tower for a kill and returns home.
• Lylia is not a quick-burst mage. Her job is space control + slows + sustained pressure, not 1-shotting squishies (though late-game she can finish them).
