How to play 일라오이
일라오이 is a 3-cost 동물특공대, 선봉대 and 길잡이 champion that usually plays as a frontline tank. Its main job is to stabilize the frontline and complete traits, so avoid leaving it as the only first target. 일라오이 appears in Slap & Zap and Meepteors lines, so keep copies when those boards are open.

When to play 일라오이
Consider playing around 일라오이 when you find a two-star copy in Stage 3 and your components already fit the unit. For items, 가고일 돌갑옷 and 굳건한 심장 are strong signals that 일라오이 can stay on the board. For team direction, it fits naturally when you are already moving toward Slap & Zap and Meepteors. If it stays one-star, the traits do not activate, or the items point elsewhere, treat it as a transition unit instead of forcing the line.

Why these items work
가고일 돌갑옷, 굳건한 심장 and 정령의 형상 are recommended. 가고일 돌갑옷 scales well when several enemies target the same frontliner, 굳건한 심장 matches the unit's combat pattern and 정령의 형상 matches the unit's combat pattern. The point of the setup is to keep it alive long enough to cast and hold the frontline.

Item alternatives
When the perfect setup is not available, use 워모그의 갑옷, 덤불 조끼 and 용의 발톱 as substitutes. For frontline substitutes, prioritize durability, sustain, and opening damage reduction without stealing every carry item. If 일라오이 is only a trait slot, one useful item is enough and the premium items should go to your real carry or main tank.
timeline
Early, mid, and late game
Early: hold useful components, but do not force the line before copies appear. Mid game: two-star 일라오이 is the main power window for Stage 3 and Stage 4. Late game: either commit to a three-star angle or use it as a trait anchor while higher-cost units take over the items.

Positioning tips
Place 일라오이 as a main frontliner, usually same side as the enemy carry so it absorbs the first wave. If the opponent has strong single-target burst, add another tank beside it. It starts with some mana, making the first cast timing important.
