Wukong
This stupid monkey-- my personal ban choice. Beware of his W and play around its cooldown. Don't embarrass yourself by using your abilities on his clone (speaking from experience).
Volibear
Volibear has great CC and sticking power, which is perfect for Lulu so she can get her damage off without the enemy escaping. Save your W for after Voli's stun to chain CC the enemy, Plus, double ult for a big bear :D.

STARTING ITEMS
|
DORAN'S RING | ★ For this build, Doran's Blade would also work perfectly fine. But I like Doran's Ring more for this build path because it makes farming easier, helps a bit with Lulu’s mana problems, and will also give my abilities more damage early for better poke. |
|
ANATHEMA'S CHAINS | ★ Rush Anathema's Chains and use on your enemy laner. It gives you a lot of extra health and reduced damage from your opponent so that they can’t burst you down. Also, the extra health will make your Grasp of the Undying procs hurt a lot more. |
PLATED STEELCAPS | ★ Buy Plated Steelcaps when your laner/most of the enemy team is AD. You can also buy Plated Steelcaps against heavily auto champions like Kayle or Teemo. |
MERCURY'S TREADS | ★ Buy Mercury's Treads if your laner is AP/has a good amount of CC and/or if the enemy team is mainly AP. If the enemy team has a lot of CC but mostly AD, you should buy Plated Steelcaps and also take Legend: Tenacity or Unflinching in your runes. |
|
RIFTMAKER | ★ I really like Riftmaker for its stats. This item does synergize better with lulu’s kit than the other mythic options I listed below, and the true damage is helpful in more prolonged fights. |
TRINITY FORCE | ★ Trinity Force is really good for raw, consistent damage from your auto attacks, and is also helpful for split-pushing since it does damage to turrets. |
DIVINE SUNDERER | ★ Divine Sunderer works well into tanky teams, but I have a hard time picking this over Kraken Slayer. Nonetheless, this is a viable choice if you wanted to build more bruiser Lulu into a tanky team. |
|
TITANIC HYDRA | ★ The aoe damage from Titanic Hydra is extremely helpful for Lulu to farm. If you want begin pushing waves faster, you can rush Tiamat. Also, it’s passive of converting bonus health to AD synergizes well withe these items. |
BLACK CLEAVER | ★ Black Cleaver works really well at carving down tankier teams. The only problem with this item is that it doesn’t build out of Last Whisper, so you won’t get the armor reduction until you build the full item, which takes a while. I do still prefer this item over some like Lord Dominik's Regards because Black Cleaver’s stats synergizes better with the other items. |
HULLBREAKER | ★ If you want to split-push and only split-push, get Hullbreaker. This is probably something you would want to rush instead of Anathema's Chains. |
WIT'S END | ★ Wit's End is such a great item for the extra attack speed and on-hit damage. The only scenario I don’t buy this in my last items is if the enemy team is all AD. If the enemy team is all AP, you can rush this item. |
|
THORNMAIL/ FORZEN HEART | ★ If the enemy team has a lot of healing, you can rush Bramble Vest and sit on it, and then build Thornmail once you already have your core build. Frozen Heart is good against high attack speed champions like Tryndamere or Jax. |
MAW/ SPIRATE VISAGE | ★ If the enemy team has a lot of AP assassins like Kennen Katarina or Nidalee, you can buy Hexdrinker to avoid getting bursted, and later build it into Maw of Malmortius. Spirit Visage has great synergy with all Lulu’s healing and shielding in her kit, runes, and other items. It’s also a nice purchase if your team has a lot of healing/shielding in their kit like Lee Sin or Ivern jungle, Lux or Orianna mid, and all enchanter supports. |

STARTING ITEMS
|
DORAN'S BLADE | ★ The extra omnivap from Doran's Blade is nice for lane sustain. I personally like Doran's Blade + Health Potion over a Long Sword + Refillable Potion because the extra health and omnivap is helpful for laning. |
|
BORK | ★ Against tankier team comps, Blade of the Ruined King will be your holy grail item. You want to rush this item, and prioritize Recurve Bow over Vampiric Scepter It will actually allow you to do damage against your enemies, and also has synergy with Press the Attack to help shred your opponents. |
BERSERKER'S GREAVES | ★ Look, if you feel confident and just want to power out some damage, Berserker's Greaves is perfect for that, since it’s the cheapest full attack speed item in the game. Personally, I like to go defensive boots. |
DEFENSIVE BOOTS | ★ As I said, I prefer defensive boots, either Plated Steelcaps or Mercury's Treads, because I like the extra sustain in case I get jumped on. Plus, I feel like I get more than enough attack speed from my other items. |
|
KRAKEN SLAYER | ★ Kraken Slayer is a staple for a lot of lulu top players. If you build a lot of attack speed, this item will let you do a lot of true damage. Kraken Slayer is what you should buy if you plan to be a second adc for your team. |
GALEFORCE | ★ Galeforce is nice for the extra damage, and its passive is nice for having an extra dash and also for finishing off enemies trying to escape. |
TRINITY FORCE | ★ I like Trinity Force for its bruiser stats, but also gives enough damage and attack speed. Think of Trinity Force as the most balanced mythic options. It won’t let you excel at any particular thing (like damage or tankiness) but provides enough of both. |
|
GUINSOO'S RAGEBLADE | ★ Guinsoo's Rageblade is a staple for building on-hit lulu. This items helps you feel like a machine gun and really begin to pump out damage. |
RUNAAN'S HURRICANE | ★ I opt for Runaan's Hurricane when I need fast wave clear to split push and to take enemy jungle camps faster. Pix, Faerie Companion doesn’t proc on the bolts, but it still is good for aoe auto attacks. |
STORMRAZOR | ★ The passive from Stormrazor gives you a lot more sticking power to enemies so they can’t run away from you once you get in auto range. |
WIT'S END | ★ Same explanation as above. Wit's End gives you attack speed, magic resist, and on-hit damage. If the enemy team is all AP, rush this item. |

Okay but let’s say you’re in a hard matchup, getting camped, or basically just not doing well. I know it’s not fun, but just play safe. Farm under tower, ping a couple times to see if maybe your jungler or midlaner can help with a gank, and be willing to lose farm if you’re too low health and need to back (just lose the farm, don’t stay and int). As Lulu, you are pretty hard to tower dive with your Whimsy and Wild Growth, so often you can bait enemies to dive you and if you have Ignite up, you can get that kill you need to get back in the game. Luckily, since you’re Lulu, you will always be useful even when behind because you have a lot utility, so try to roam to fights since you have the ability to turn them. If you’re pretty behind and someone else on your team is carrying, you can definitely opt to be a second support for your team and just build Lulu support items.
MID GAME: Whether you’re playing Tank/Bruiser Lulu or On-hit Lulu, you will want to play as a split-pusher. Play around objective timers. Basically, when there’s an objective coming up, you want to be split-pushing in the farthest lane from it, to draw pressure to that side of the map (if dragon is spawning soon, go top lane; if baron is spawning soon, go bot lane). This allows your team to take objectives while you force members on the enemy team to deal with you.
LATE GAME: Lulu will get outscaled in the late stages of the game by a lot of champions. However, you can still annihilate the squishies while also countering all the fed champions with Whimsy. At this point, you’ll probably want to stick with your team and take objectives together so you avoid getting picked.
