Liliya 101: Role, Strengths, and How the Infernal Flame Works
Liliya’s role and combat profile
Liliya is an artillery-style magic caster who excels at sustained area control and single-target burst when her cooldowns line up. She operates best when protected by a frontline that can soak initial aggro while she moves into optimal range to place her signature fire fields and channel high-damage spells.
What the Infernal Flame does (conceptual)
At its core, the Infernal Flame artifact transforms Liliya’s kit in three ways:
Adds a persistent fire-field / DoT (damage over time) zone that scales with artifact level and rolls.
Grants stacking Scorch interactions—targets exposed to the field receive debuffs that increase damage taken from Liliya and allies.
Unlocks conditional burst windows when combined with specific talents or legion abilities.
Understanding these three pillars—field presence, Scorch stacking, and conditional burst windows—is the key to mastering Liliya.
Why this artifact matters more than raw stats
Unlike generic stat artifacts, the Infernal Flame artifact supplies both sustained control and scaling synergy. Properly rolled, it is as much a source of utility (crowd control via debuffs and area denial) as it is of damage. This makes Liliya Infernal Flame viable across many content types: open-field PvP, arena showdowns, and raid bosses with positional constraints.
Build Tiers: Choose Your Investment Path
Tier system overview
F2P / New Player — Minimal CPI, generic weapons, emblematic rune choices.
Casual — Moderate artifact investment, one optimized talent tree, core rune set.
Competitive — High artifact level, refined rolls, perfect rune distribution, meta pairings.
Whale / Endgame — Maxed artifact with perfect rolls, stat min-maxing, multiple builds per matchup.
F2P / New Player build (Goal: reliable, low-cost)
Core idea: Use Liliya as backline mage with a focus on survivability and consistent DoT.
Key talent picks: defensive cooldowns early, single-target damage later.
Runes: prioritize Spell Power, Mana Efficiency, and Resist Penetration.
Artifact: raise Infernal Flame to mid tiers; aim for one useful roll (DoT potency or Scorch duration).
Pairing: tanky frontline + versatile healing support.
Why it works: Limits complexity while leaning on artifact base power.
Casual build (Goal: noticeable power increase, still forgiving)
Talent path: invest in area damage talents and the talent that boosts burning/DoT uptime.
Runes: Liliya build Call of Dragons casual set — Spell Power > Critical Chance > Scorch Amplification.
Artifact rolls: focus on DoT potency and cooldown reduction for field deployment.
Pairing: bring a mobility hero that enables Liliya to reposition quickly.
Why it works: You maintain survivability and increase the field’s influence, enabling better map control.
Competitive build (Goal: meta viability, ladder-climbing)
Talent tree: full commitment to Scorch stacking and burst window talents.
Runes: optimize for high Spell Power, high Crit Damage, and Scorch debuff multiplier.
Artifact: aim for rolls giving % damage on scorched, increased Scorch stack cap, and reduced field cooldown.
Pairing: specific synergy heroes (see later section) and legions that add debuff extension or burst multipliers.
Micro: retreat-and-redeploy playstyle to reapply fields for maximum uptime.
Why it works: Maximizes damage windows and debuff exploitation for clutch teamfights.
Whale / Endgame build (Goal: absolute peak performance)
Talent tree: customize for the exact content (PvP vs bosses).
Runes and stat distribution: hit soft and hard breakpoints (spell power, crit chance, crit damage), invest in speed only if needed for cast timings.
Artifact: target perfect rolls; add unique runes or consumables to push artifact-derived scaling.
Pairing: perfect team comp with orchestrated windows (timed AoE stuns, debuff extenders).
Micro: preemptive field placement and baiting enemy movement into scorched zones.
Why it works: Reduces variance, leverages every possible multiplier, and controls battlefield flow.
Talent Tree Deep Dive
Key talents to prioritize (conceptual grouping)
Core Damage Talents: Boost base spell power and DoT multipliers.
Scorch Talents: Increase stack duration, effect per stack, or reduce the max interval between stacks.
Utility Talents: Mobility, survivability, or cooldown reduction for the Infernal Flame placement.
Burst Synergy Talents: Activate extra damage on next spell after Scorch reaches X stacks.
Opening talent path (early game)
Secure a small healing or shield talent to survive early pressure.
Add a basic DoT extension to make your artifact field feel impactful sooner.
Take a talent that reduces mana or cast cost to improve sustainability.
Mid-game progression
Swap into Scorch stacking talents. If a talent increases Scorch damage per stack, prioritize it before raw Crit.
Pick up the cooldown reduction talent for artifact redeploys.
Consider a single-point investment into a utility talent that increases your field radius; area control often matters more than single-target top-end.
Endgame/late progression
Full invest into burst synergy talents if your playstyle focuses on timed windows.
Max Scorch stack cap and per-stack multiplier if you're targeting high burst.
Fine-tune remaining points for survivability only when facing targeted assassin heroes or heavy single-target focus.
Runes, Stats, and Breakpoints
Rune priorities (general)
Spell Power — Primary damage driver for a caster like Liliya.
Critical Chance — Aim for reliable criticals by midgame; critical damage amplifies burst windows.
Critical Damage — Secondary to chance; stacks multiplicatively with Spell Power.
Scorch Amplification — If available, these runes directly scale the artifact interaction.
Mana Efficiency / Mana Regen — Useful for extended fights.
Stat breakpoints to watch
Soft breakpoint: 40–50% Crit Chance — ensures frequent crits without full reliance on RNG.
Damage breakpoint: Spell Power value where DoT + Scorch multipliers outpace burst-only builds.
Survivability breakpoint: Enough HP and Resist to survive common enemy opener combos (depends on server meta).
Example rune builds by tier
F2P: Spell Power (x6), Mana Efficiency (x3), Resist Penetration (x1)
Casual: Spell Power (x7), Critical Chance (x4), Mana Efficiency (x1)
Competitive: Spell Power (x8), Critical Chance (x6), Critical Damage (x4), Scorch Amp (x2)
Whale: Max Spell Power + Crit setup + dedicated Scorch Amp runes + situational defensive runes
Artifact Rolls and Upgrade Path
Core artifact roll priorities
DoT Potency — Increases base DPS of fire field.
Scorch Damage Multiplier — Directly boosts synergy with talent tree and team buffs.
Cooldown Reduction — More fields = more control and stacking windows.
Field Radius or Duration — Choose radius for area denial, duration for sustained pressure.
Conditional Burst Trigger — Rolls that add bonus burst when Scorch reaches X stacks.
Roll tier guidance
Essential roll: Scorch Damage Multiplier — always aim for this early.
High value: DoT potency + Cooldown Reduction combination.
Nice-to-have: Radius increase if your team relies on zoning.
Situational: RNG-based one-shot bonus that’s unreliable for consistent play.
Upgrade roadmap (practical)
Levels 1–30: Prioritize DoT potency and artifact level to feel immediate power gains.
Levels 31–60: Target Scorch multiplier roll and cooldown reduction.
Levels 61–100: Polish minor stats; chase radius/duration if you want map pressure.
Post-max: Re-roll until Scorch Damage Multiplier and Cooldown Reduction are optimal.
Spending strategy
Don’t chase perfect rolls immediately; get artifact to a functional power level first.
Save rerolls for when you have enough resources to commit to a top-tier roll.
Use temporary boosts (consumables, limited-time events) to test archetypes before committing resources.
Best Pairings: Legions, Heroes, and Pets
Best legion types for Liliya
Debuff-extending legions: Extend Scorch duration or increase debuff effectiveness; these multiply the artifact's impact.
Burst-synergy legions: Provide team-wide damage multipliers when enemy debuffs are present.
Utility legions: Add positioning tools, shields, or AoE crowd control to protect Liliya while she channels.
Best hero allies
Primary tank: Reliable peel and initial aggro soak; must be able to position enemies into your field.
Support dispeller/healer: Extends uptime and lets Liliya stay cast-ready longer.
Secondary mage or burst DPS: Someone who can detonate Scorch stacks with high single-target attacks.
Top hero picks (by role):
Tank pair: hero with hard CC and pull to force enemies into fields.
Support pair: healer with shield and cleanse to maintain field uptime.
Combo DPS: rapid-burst hero to detonate Scorch stacks simultaneously.
Pets and summons
Pets that increase area retention, leash enemies, or provide small stuns are excellent.
Summons that add extra DoT stack or apply minor burn help scale Liliya Infernal Flame.
Team Compositions and Synergies
Standard team comp (balanced)
Tank (frontline)
Liliya (backline)
Healer/support
Secondary DPS (assassin or marksman)
Flex slot (pet, utility hero, or debuffer)
Why it works: Liliya provides zone control while the tank funnels enemies; the support keeps her alive, and DPS capitalizes on Scorch debuffs.
High-damage burst comp (competitive)
Initiator (stun/pull)
Liliya (burst windows)
Secondary burst mage
Healer
Tempo/utility hero (reduces enemy healing/resists)
Why it works: Coordinated burst when Scorch reaches max stacks detonates massive damage.
Siege comp (map control)
Multiple area control heroes + Liliya
Healer + sustain
Slow/immobilize heroes to keep enemies in the Infernal Flame
Why it works: Overwhelms opponents with overlapping DoT fields and persistent zone denial.
Micro and Macro Tactics
Positioning and field placement
Place fields where enemies will be forced to pass (choke points), not where they are currently standing—anticipate movement.
Keep Liliya behind heavy cover or hero shields; she is most valuable when alive and uninterrupted.
In one-on-one duels, make the opponent reposition into your field before committing the full cast.
Scorch management
Reapply fields before Scorch stacks drop below your break-even threshold—aim for near-continuous stacking during fights.
Use mobility or defensive talents to survive long enough to stack Scorch in prolonged engagements.
Avoid reapplying unnecessarily early; time redeploys to maximize burst multipliers.
Cooldown and resource timing
Track cooldown windows for teammates—coordinate your Scorch peaks with allies’ ultimate spells.
Save a short cooldown or mana burst for mid-fight re-deployments; missing a redeploy often costs the fight.
PvP-specific tips
Bait enemies onto your Infernal Flame by faking retreat; many players will chase and then suffer heavy DoT.
In ranked play, announce burst windows via quick pings or comms to synchronize with teammates.
Against heavy-kiting teams, swap to radius/duration-rolls to increase passive pressure rather than burst.
PvE-specific tips
Use fields to block boss movement phases and force positional advantages.
Against adds, place fields to cut off reinforcements and slowly melt groups with DoT synergy.
Prioritize artifact cooldown reduction for content with repeated waves.
Common Problems and Fixes
Issue: Infernal Flame feels weak
Fix: Check that artifact rolls include Scorch Damage Multiplier and DoT potency. If not, reroll.
Fix: Increase Spell Power and look for rune synergy; artifact cannot replace raw stat deficiencies.
Issue: I can’t keep Scorch stacks up
Fix: Invest in cooldown reduction and duration talents.
Fix: Improve positioning and coordinate with teammates to prevent forced repositioning.
Issue: I die too quickly in matches
Fix: Shift talent points into survivability and mana efficiency early game.
Fix: Re-evaluate team comp: ensure a tank and healer accompany Liliya.
Issue: Random misses and inconsistent crits
Fix: Raise Crit Chance soft breakpoint; invest in crit chance runes or gear.
Fix: Reduce variance by shifting slightly toward reliable Spell Power rather than chasing extreme crits.

Advanced Optimization: Calculations & Breakpoints (Conceptual)
Treat DoT uptime as multiplicative with Spell Power and Scorch multiplier.
When Scorch stacks scale linearly per stack and melee burst multiplies at X stacks, calculate expected burst as:
Expected Burst ≈ Base Spell Damage × (1 + ScorchMultiplier × Stacks) × CritMultiplier
Use this to decide whether to invest in spell power or artifact rerolls first: if ScorchMultiplier is low, invest in raw Spell Power; if high, chase artifact rerolls.
(Exact numeric breakpoints vary by patch and server meta. Use the above to guide resource allocation rather than absolute numbers.)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the single most important roll for the Infernal Flame artifact? The most impactful roll is Scorch Damage Multiplier—it scales all interactions and turns your DoT into a multiplicative damage source.
How many Scorch stacks do I need before detonating with allies? Aim to reach the synergy window set by your talents—commonly between 3–5 stacks depending on talent thresholds. Synchronize with allies for maximum effect.
Should I prioritize Crit Chance or Spell Power first? Early: Spell Power for consistent scaling. Mid to late: bring Crit Chance to your soft breakpoint (around 40–50%) to reliably trigger crit multipliers during burst windows.
Is Liliya viable in solo queue? Yes, but you must choose a forgiving early talent path and rely on generalized team comps. In solo queue, prefer radius/duration rolls and survivability talents.
Which legion type is universally useful for Liliya? Debuff-extending legions are most universally useful because extending Scorch mechanics increases both total damage and consistency across comps.
How do I play around mobility-heavy enemies? Place fields ahead of predicted movement, pair with heroes that provide slow/roots, and consider reducing cooldowns to reapply fields as enemies reposition.
When should I reroll artifact stats? Reroll when you have sufficient resources to chase a top-tier roll, or when you notice your current rolls fail to synergize with chosen talent/rune priorities.
Is Liliya limited to PvE or PvP? No—Liliya scales well in both when built correctly. PvP emphasizes cooldowns, speed, and timing; PvE benefits more from duration and steady DoT uptime.
Wrap-up and Action Plan
Pick a tier that matches your resource level (F2P → Whale).
Identify your target roll priority: Scorch Damage Multiplier first, then DoT Potency and Cooldown Reduction.
Tune runes: Spell Power first, Crit chance second, then Scorch amplification.
Choose a team comp that can force enemy movement into your fields.
Practice micro: field placement, retreat-to-field, and redeploy timing.
Reassess every major patch; changes to universal stats or hero abilities may shift the relative value of rolls.
Final checklist before you queue
Artifact has at least one Scorch or DoT-oriented roll.
Talents are aligned to Scorch stacking or duration depending on your playstyle.
Runes meet the minimum Spell Power and Crit soft breakpoint.
Team comp contains at least one peel/healer and one initiator to force enemies into your field.
You’ve practiced at least five redeploy/retreat sequences in a low-stakes match.
