Each enemy individually reduces the slam damage by 50% for every slam they were hit by in the last 0.66 seconds, capped at 75% less damage.

Active: Illaoi launches a tendril in the target direction that stops at the first enemy hit, pulling their Spirit out in front of Illaoi over 0.75 seconds if they are a champion. The target is tether to the Spirit for 7 seconds, true sight them in addition to granting sight of the area around them while the tether remains.

Damage Transmission: 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45% (+ 8% per 100 AD)

The Spirit spawns with the target's current health, armor and magic resist, and redirects a portion of the pre-mitigation damage received to the tethered champion.

When the Spirit is killed or the target leaves tether range, the tether is severed, marking the target as a Vessel for 4 seconds and slow them by 80% for 1.5 seconds once the tether returns back to them. Each Tentacle autonomously attacks the closest Vessel or Spirit, prioritizing the latter, once every 4.5 / 4 / 3.5 seconds.
