Lillia vs Ivern Counter Pick

The jungle itself is the variable here. Friend of the Forest means Ivern cannot attack or be attacked by non-epic monsters and instead grows groves on camps, so his clear speed depends neither on health nor on winning fights. Lillia takes a 44.1% win rate across 168 games on patch 16.13.1, graded Hard, from a pool thin enough that the figure deserves caution.

• Tempo: free camps let Ivern reach a skirmish first, while Lillia’s clear leans on Blooming Blows and the lingering damage Dream-Laden Bough leaves behind.
• Setup: Rootcaller roots a target and lets allies dash to it, converting a chase into a collapse before Lilting Lullaby has drowsy targets to work with.
• Support layer: Triggerseed shields an ally and then detonates to slow, and Daisy adds a summoned body soaking damage that Lillia would rather spend on champions.

The stat comparison is close, 605 health against 630 and 22 armor against 27, and both deal magic damage, so magic resistance purchases serve both sides equally. Brushmaker adds bonus magic damage to attacks made by Ivern and nearby allies inside brush, which turns any contested camp beside cover into unfavorable ground. Attack range runs 475 to 325 in Ivern’s favor, and Lillia carries the higher difficulty rating at 8 against 7, in a matchup where her opponent rarely has to duel at all.
