The BEST Illari Guide: Advanced Tips, Tricks, & More!

I just hate the HUGE gun in the middle of your screen. At the begin I even used the "iron sights" by accident because its just so much in the way. Changed my crosshair for her because of it

Saw that 1 John 2:2 and was gonna subscribe but I already was apparently. Been a few years since I was into OW, thx for the guide.

Have you ever thought about casting? You seem both articulate and knowledgeable.

Illari movement techs are kinda like doomfist, you can hit doorframes to get fast and bhop to get further after. There is a video made by getquakedon and its really helpful understanding the weird movement ability. I tbh felt lost on how it works the first day she was released and couldn't really use it until i got some tips from that video.

I didn't follow your pronunciation of her name, it doesn't match with what you put on screen.

eel-yah-ree is how I would say it and what you say sounds to me like ee-lee-yah-ree which sounds like it has a whole extra syllable snuck in there.

is that you struggling to say it correctly or is that what you were trying to convey with the onscreen words? I appreciate the effort, kinda wish blizzard made it more clear from their side to be honest.

Questo video ha un solo problema: decisamente troppi pochi comenti e likes rispetto a quelli che merita.

Its pronounced "larry" sweaty 💅

one of the best OW2 channels I've come across so far

Using melee also stops the primary fire charge.

Thanks for explaining how to use illari ult I always thought I wasted is when using it just to zone

I rather like using captive sun as a zoning tool. I’m not actively looking to use it that way, but it can be pretty nice when there’s a situation that you’d like to not have to think about for a few seconds because something else is going on that needs your attention, or to ruin the enemy’s attempt to pincer your backline. Obviously, it’s a lot more dopamine-inducing to just blow people up, but forcing enemies to just chill for several seconds can be so valuable if done at the right time.

Edit: In general, I feel like I’ve been pretty well-served by using Captive Sun in many of the situations where I’d use Coalescence. To me, Illari feels like Moira for people who actually want to aim.

Thank you very much, now how do I get her in my bed? 🤔

i love that spilo puts quick vod reviews IN the guide itself, just to help reinforce what he's just taught us, genius honestly

But the gun doesn't have 2x crit multiplier? You can kill in 3 bodyshots but not 1 headshot and 1 bodyshot

Something I discovered today is that the long headshots are much, much easier if, once your crosshair is next to the target, you press your palm into the mousepad to steady it, then just use your wrist to pivot the mouse around it. You can also take the pressure off and pivot from your forearm if you need to make quick turns, or use a little bit of palm pressure to smooth out longer strokes and avoid shooting your crosshair past the target.

I wish someone had just pointed this stuff out to me when I started playing shooters.

funny you say that ult can be used as a zoning tool may seem controvertial, I always think about those tricky skills as to how they would translate to a moba setting, and this would obviously be a very good zoning ult

As someone that's a bit of a sticker for pronunciations (not in terms of correcting others, just myself), I definitely appreciate the efforts I've seen towards pronouncing Illari correctly. But it does make me question, why her, and not someone like Kiriko (And I guess genji and hanzo by extension)? Or Sombra? I'm pretty sure most americans, and even spanish speakers in Illari's case, mispronounce these names, but then again, I'm also American. Fuck do I know?💀

Just some thoughts I had lol.

RIP Kajor Midget 💀

Your pronunciation is on point! Thx for the vídeo, appreciate it! Cheers from Brazil

Little trick I use with her outburst- crounching before outburst shortens the high of the apex of your jump so less flight time.

Here's even quicker guide: put healing thing on a wall then hit headshots

Wait is it 2x for headshots? I just saw it say 1.5 on the wiki

I think Get Quacked On did a really good video on movement with Illiari, would recommend checking it out once. From that video, one thing about Illiari's movment to get back into cover that you explained for her outburst, I think the air time can be reduced if you press only directional buttons + tap the outburst rather than hold it and you can sort of dash into the cover like jet (i don't play valorant but that's the best I can describe it)

There are edge cases where I use her ult for mobility to peak over a wall or traverse big gaps. Create a crazy off angle and then use primary fire even if I sun gets eaten or hits a wall because the projectile is the size of sigma rock (TY ML7).

I don't really agree with your ult tips. I think it's probably one of the worst 1v1 ults to just "secure a pick" considering you have to hit a headshot to secure a kill anyways. Also, most players are slow/uncomfortable flying so it's easier to hit her.

As an engagement tool, it's beneficial on a flank only. There's too many cool downs facing main that can deny it's value entirely (shields, stuns, matrix, etc.).

the OWL casters were told they can just say "Ill-arr-ee". i think whatever basic pronunciation is fine really. i hear ranked callout is "larry" haha

It's il-li-ari 👀

Just a correction, Illari headshot is same as Sojourn headshot, 1.5x multiplier, not 2x

“I’m white in America doing the best I can” had such little right to be as funny as it was 🤣😭

Quick tech with her.

You jump higher if you don’t move when you use shift

So if you can’t hit a high ground, try standing still and booping THEN moving towards it. You’ll go that little bit higher. It’s important for hitting the hybrid point high ground on numbani and a few other ones

“I don’t know, I used to play guitar hero.” That girl rules.

This was extremely helpful! I really liked the new format where you spliced three reviews together to illustrate the thought process at varying skill levels.

you were talking about indirect value around 8 min and ive gotta say i absolutely love getting solo tired as a genji instead of having them take out our tank or sups.

im learning in a lot of instances me diving and taking out a supp and weakening the other (then dying) often provides a lot of value for the fight, i dont necessarily have to be there for the entirety.

im like an entry fragger and ill gladly trade myself with a higher value target to lessen their resources (with the assumption i can confirm the kill otherwise im feeding lol

i dont even play her. i only play, have ever play, and will only play genji. i wouldnt play this game if its not for genji. why am i here?

ee ur

ult set up - position pylon so that i can be healed and be aggressive while in air. hit shift and at the end of the jump hit Q.

11hours deep on her.. been waiting for this to drop. played sliver 1 - plat 2 so far. very fun hero. funny though no one complains about her lack of utility. she has a boop more than moira lets be honest.. its heal or dps really. if you pylon gets hard focused it just is going to feel like a bad game.

just unlocked her, this is super helpful!

Never been this early before lol I’m view no. 457!!

Awesome video, but the headshot multiplier is only 1.5 for 112.5 damage.

Wait is this a bible ref in the bottom right corner?

maybe helpful: i found a workshop code that lets you visualize the range of your pylon which has helped me get a grasp of where i can position it safely while still covering my team

Should also mention that for her Outburst if you tap it you go further forward and if you hold it you go further upward

Only Johnny G himself could truly teach us how to master Illari

ILLARI is a 1.5x multiplier, not 2x- my mistake!

Had a couple of mic issues in the last two sessions which means I may cut out a few times- apologies!
