Lillia Scaling: Grade B
Reasonably well, with conditions. Lillia keeps real value at full build. Grade B, Okay late, in The Scaling Codex.
Reviewed for League of Legends Season 16 (2026).
Verdict. Game-changing ultimate similar to Kennen's, but can be kited later on, and lacks great damage.
The sleep is most of the grade
Lilting Lullaby landing on several enemies is several guaranteed follow-ups, and a coordinated team converts a three-person nap into a won objective. The dream dust burn does its work over time while her passive speed lets her skirt the edge of the fight, tagging targets and drifting out of reach.
Two things cap her
The sleep only lands on targets already dusted, so she has to touch the fight before she can pause it, and the champions she has to touch are the ones best equipped to stop her. One slow or root ends the drifting entirely.
When the ultimate is down, her raw damage does not threaten a full-build carry.
The sleep is a countdown for your team, not a kill for you. Cast it where your damage is standing.

How this grade was judged
The grade weighs range, target access, sustained and burst damage, crowd control, mobility, durability, healing and shielding, resets, cooldown structure, objective and formation control, split pressure, and how well the champion survives a long fight. Builds and forms that scale differently are graded separately. This is Vambient's gameplay evaluation of coordinated late-game fights, not a win-rate calculation. Full methodology.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches. How the grades are decided.
