Strategy

  • Lulu specializes in protecting her allies and disrupting enemy champions. Her (Q) Glitterlance is a good harassing skill against enemy laners. It also slows enemies hit, leaving them susceptible to follow up damage from your lane partner.
  • Cast (W) Whimsy on allies to increase their movement speed or on enemy champions, disabling them and leaving your team to a chance to take them out.
  • (Q) Glitterlance combos well with (E) Help, Pix! Cast (E) Help, Pix! on an enemy champion and guide your (Q) Glitterlance to hit their lane partner for more lane harassment.
  • Use (E) Help, Pix! on teammates to grant a shield that protects them from incoming damage.
  • (E) Help, Pix! gives your team vision on enemy champions you casted it on. This can be used to thwart champions who use invisibility such as Talon, Twitch and Evelynn.
  • Stick to your team’s carries in order to protect them from enemy champions. Cast (R) Wild Growth on them to help them get out of sticky situations.

Core Items
Redemption icon Ardent Censer Icon Eye of the Watchers Icon
Redemption Ardent Censer Eye of the Watchers

Redemption – Redempton should be your first item as Lulu since it gives off decent stats while the passive also makes your (E) Help, Pix! more effective. On top of that, the active of Redemption helps a lot in team fights and in helping your team mates in critical situations.

Eye of the Watchers – Eye of the Watchers is a much better item for Lulu compared to Frost Queen’s Claim. She tends to be at the back of the team fights and she is not a good initiator in team fights. Building this item gives you more mana regeneration and health which Lulu needs in the long run.

Ardent Censer – This item increases your mana, mana regeneration, and cooldown reduction. It also strengthens your heals and shields, making you more effective in protecting your team mates.

Redemption icon Ardent Censer Icon Mikael's Crucible Icon
Redemption Ardent Censer Mikael’s Crucible

Locket of the Iron Solari – Locket of the Iron Solari gives you more presence in team fights since it grants your allies a shield around a shield that can be crucial in fights.

Mikael’s Crucible – Mikael’s Crucible is a very defensive-oriented item since it can help your ADC and other allies in sticky situations.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity – Ionian Boots of Lucidity gives you cooldown reduction which is always good for Lulu since she relies on her abilities to help her team mates.

Situational Items
Eye of the Oasis Boots of mobility icon Athene's Unholy Grail Icon
Eye of the Oasis Boots of Mobility Athene’s Unholy Grail

Eye of the Oasis – Eye of the Oasis is another good substitute support item for Lulu as the starting item, Ancient Coin, grants Lulu mana regeneration instead of the ability power of Spellthief’s Edge.

Boots of Mobility – Boots of Mobility gives you a ton of movement speed out of combat. This item makes Lulu more mobile at the expense of cooldown reduction, which Lulu needs more in order to spam her abilities.

Athene’s Unholy Grail – Athene’s Unholy Grail is an aggressive item for Lulu that gives him a ton of stats that complement his abilities. You also need to constantly damage your enemies as the passive allows him to have a more effective shields and heals through charges you gain by damaging your enemies.

Playing Against

  • Lulu can deal quite a lot of damage if you get too close. Her auto attacks can deal bonus damage thanks to Pix, Faerie Companion (passive). Her (Q) Glitterlance also has good range and can hit you even if you hide behind your minion wave.
  • Avoid being tagged with (Q) Glitterlance, as it will slow you down, leaving you open to harassment.
  • Be careful when you go all-in against a Lulu and her lane partner. She can disable your initiator or setter with (W) Whimsy, and punish you for a considerable amount of damage.
  • Take note when Lulu has used all of her skills. She is vulnerable when they are all on cooldown. Consequently, Lulu is susceptible to being harassed in the laning phase, as she does not have health-sustaining skills.
  • When Lulu casts (R) Wild Growth on her ally, do your best to keep distance, as it slows enemies who are near the buffed champion. It is a good option to force Lulu to cast (R) Wild Growth on herself, as it will increase the chances of you eliminating her lane partner.

Hard Counter

  • Morgana – Morgana is a very aggressive support that also has the ability to protect to negate some of Lulu’s ability with Black Shield. She also has a lot of damaging and crowd controls that can force Lulu to deplete her mana in the laning phase.
  • Sona – Sona is another support that can harass Lulu and her ADC. She can stun Lulu with Crescendo while harassing her with Hymn of Valor. She also has good sustain in the laning phase, so Lulu won’t be able to cheese her (Q) Glitterlancei.
  • Soraka – Soraka is another support who has good lane sustain, thanks to Wish and Astral Infusion. She likes to stay at the back of team fights while healing her teammates while slowing and silencing enemies. Lulu has a hard time harassing a Soraka in lane because if she engages, she’ll either be slowed or silenced by Soraka while the opposing ADR peppers her with auto attacks.
