How to Play Lulu

Champion-specific pre-match tips

Lane Phase

Walk past the minion wave when trading basic attacks so enemy minions do not intercept your passive damage.

Lane Phase

Cast E on an enemy minion to extend your threat range, then immediately fire Q from the new angle to poke safely.

Lane Phase

Hold W during short trades until the enemy commits to a full engage, then cast it on them to deny their damage window.

Mid Game

Cast E on your primary engage ally as they dive to attach Pix, allowing you to follow up with an extending Q slow onto the enemy backline.

Mid Game

Save W to polymorph flanking enemies when your backline is threatened instead of defaulting to using it as an attack speed buff.

Mid Game

Cast your ult on a frontline ally the exact moment enemies collapse into their melee range to guarantee a multi-target knockup.

Late Game

Position directly behind your highest damage carry during Elder or Baron fights so you can instantly cast E or W the moment an enemy flashes onto them.

Late Game

Cast E on elusive enemies before they enter stealth or brush to maintain vision and prevent them from dropping your team's target aggro.

Late Game

Chain your ult's knockup with an immediate W onto an engaging threat as they land to keep them permanently disabled.

How to Counter Lulu

Counter strategies and draft context

apply grievous wounds, dive past the frontline, or burst through their shields before they stack

• Struggles against multi-angle pressure — Lulu can't peel multiple threats at once
• All-in engage supports that outpressure in lane
• Champions with anti-heal in their kit or builds
• Assassins that delete carries before shields apply

Lulu's Weaknesses

• Multiple dive threats at once — Lulu can only peel one target, and coordinated dives overwhelm the backline

Best Synergies with Lulu

Team synergies and draft context

• Hyper-carry ADCs that thrive behind Lulu's protection — the longer fights last, the more value you get
• Hyper-carry ADCs that scale with your shields and heals
• Bruisers and fighters that become unkillable with your buffs
• Late-game compositions that benefit from your scaling support

championPage.draftContext

• Drafts only squishies — Lulu can peel, but there's nothing to absorb damage in the frontline
