Introduction

This build uses a hybrid on-hit/AP/CDR to capitalize on all her strengths. Her passive increases on-hit strength, her CC loves CDR for more spammage, and AP gives her decent burst with


Marks: Magic Penetration to increase damage of both on-hit and spells
Seals: Armor for early survivability. With the proliferation of bruisers/AD with gap closers, her survival relies on mitigating enough damage until she's able to escape with Q/W/R
Glyphs: Scaling Magic Resist helps keep up the defense against other magic damage champions throughout the game.
Quints: You have two options here. AP for early burst, or Move Speed to make up for her lack of speed.

Building Lulu 9/21/0 gets CD/AP/%MPen from the Offense tree, and maximizes her survivability through the Defense tree.
Why one point in CD from the Defense tree?
With 4% from Offense, 25% from
Nashor's Tooth, and 10% from Hextech Sweeper, you're almost maxed at 39%. Putting this one point gives you the 1% remaining at level 7. While another ~1% is wasted, you are saving money by avoiding another 15% CDR item instead of the Hextech Sweeper.

Pix fires bolts at whomever Lulu auto-attacks.
This is what makes Lulu synergize with on-hit so well.

Lulu and Pix each fire a slowing damage bolt.
This is your bread and butter. Escape, harass, burst, last-hitter all in one. Great fun to land once an enemy has escaped to the brush (because you still have vision from


Overpowered polymorph on enemy or decent speed steroid on friendlies.
As soon as the gates open, I cast this on one of my teammates to rush windmill, and after that will almost exclusively use this on enemies. The polymorph prevents them from attacking and using skills, and in combination with


Shields friendly or damages and gives vision on enemy. Passive and half of

The second part of this ability is what makes it nice. I primarily use it as a damage spell on enemies, but then can cast my Q to hit targets further away. This is great for last hits on escaping enemies. The vision aspect is not necessary once you get your Hextech Sweeper.

Friendly target gains HP; slows and knocks back nearby enemies.
This is an amazing lifesaver ability. Pop this when you or a friendly's health is low and will die without intervention.
Regardless of which you choose, PLEASE put a point in the mastery that upgrades them.
Great Choices:
Exhaust - Can be used offensively to prevent an escape, but is much more powerful as a defensive spell. Not only can you escape more easily, but the damage output reduction is more than enough against burst mages that you will out-sustain.
Revive - A great spell for the initial windmill fight, and can help with a clinch capture late game. Expect to only use it twice, so make it count!
Heal - Because Lulu's only heal (essentially) is her
Wild Growth ultimate, she is able to play a bit more of a support role with
Heal.
Decent Options:
Ignite - When on a more offensive role, this helps Lulu get the damage to finish off the enemy or counter a healing/lifesteal/regen champion (Crit
Sion,
Dr. Mundo,
Soraka, etc)
Clairvoyance - If you choose to skip the Hextech Sweeper, this can give you a good alternate source of vision. Great for catching gank setups.
Ghost - Great for movement, but you have your
Whimsy
Garrison - Perfect for defending your point, or diving someone on theirs.
Cleanse - Great for stripping
Exhaust/
Ignite when targeted or ganked.
Flash - Much less useful in Crystal Scar than in Summoner's Rift, but still not bad for an "Oh *%&^" escape
Don't you dare pick..
Smite - Really? In Dominion? The ONLY use for
Smite in dominion is against a
Promote'd minion, or an AD
Malzahar.
Clarity - Grab a health pack if you need mana. Don't waste a summoner slot.
Promote - Are you really going bottom? There are so many better picks..
Surge - Low boost, low duration, longer cooldown. Ignite would be a much better alternate.

With
Glitterlance (Q) having a cool-down of just over 4 second at 40% CDR, you are able to spam this fairly well. Leading with a
Glitterlance to hinder movement, auto attack once, then
Whimsy (W) the enemy. Get another auto attack in, then
Help, Pix! (E) yourself if the enemy is attacking you, or the enemy if they are running (especially if you don't have Hextech Sweeper yet). Continue to
Glitterlance and auto-attack as you can, and recast
Whimsy and
Help, Pix! if the fight lasts long enough. Use your ultimate as an escape if needed.
Of course, in a team fight, you will be using these skills much more situationally, and reactively.
Whimsy the non-tanks that dive your squishies,
Glitterlance their squishies to allow a charge,
Help, Pix! either as damage or to position the source of your
Glitterlance. This can be used to hit the back row of their team by placing Pix on their front row (bruisers/tanks).







Of course, in a team fight, you will be using these skills much more situationally, and reactively.




Lulu is a very fun champion with the necessary elements of Dominion: burst, CC, and the ability to build tanky. Her kit is both unique and exciting, and
Whimsy is guaranteed to cause rage or your money back*!
