💜About Me
Hi! My name is Angelo and I play on the SEA server. Started playing league in late 2019. I currently have around 2 million points and I still want to improve on her. I don't play ranked often as it stresses me out. This is my first guide and any criticism is highly appreciated!

💜Runes
Summon Aery
When you CAN trade

Playstyle


Best for aggression. The damage allows Lulu to poke and trade insanely well against most enchanters.

Best When:
  • You want to dominate lane early
  • You can trade without dying instantly


Synergy: The shield is smaller than Guardian but has a much lower cooldown for mid-late game spam.


PROS (+)
+ Strong early poke damage
+ Procs Ardent Censer on ally Whimsy cast
+ Stronger lane trading
+ Higher Ability Haste stats
+ Good constant shielding mid-game




CONS (-)
- Will most likely die when jumped on as it doesnt proc on yourself
Guardian
When you CAN'T trade

Playstyle


Best for safety. Lanes where you are double outranged or just die when cc'd, you can rely on the bigger shield to keep you and/or your ADC alive.

Best Against: Synergy: Guard procs on ally cast of Help, Pix!, Whimsy, and Wild Growth.


PROS (+)
+ Makes Lulu much harder to kill
+ Access to Font of Life & Revitalize
+ Forgives positioning mistakes
+ Stronger single-target shield
+ Counters burst/all-in comps




CONS (-)
- Lane is going to be passive.
- Cannot proc Ardent Censer with W




Font of Life is the main option. Enemies hit with Q, W, or R are marked; allies heal when attacking them.
Synergy Tip


Demolish is viable if you are pushing constantly to get turret plates and snowball.

Shield Bash is not worth it on Lulu.
Second Wind usually heals more total HP than Bone Plating blocks. Best vs poke ( Ezreal, Seraphine).

Conditioning gives Armor/MR after 12 mins. Scales best (especially with Locket of the Iron Solari).

Bone Plating is only for surviving all-in burst combos in the early game.
Revitalize boosts heals/shields by 5-15%.
Synergies

Unflinching is great vs heavy CC/Slows.

Overgrowth scales HP for bigger Guardian shields, but usually Revitalize is better.
Cheap Shot is the only real damage option here (procs on Q slow or Polymorph).

Taste of Blood provides sustain, but Refillable Potion is usually enough.

Sudden Impact is useless (Lulu has no dash).
Sixth Sense is good for map control and vision.

Grisly Mementos Is harder to use but provides more value than sixth sense.

Deep Ward is the weakest option here imo as you dont really need wards to stay up that long.
Treasure Hunter gives 450g total. Good for hitting early item spikes.

Relentless Hunter allows you to impact the map and roam. (Don't take with Symbiotic Soles).

Ultimate Hunter lowers Wild Growth cooldown.

Manaflow Band is essential for mana sustain to spam E/W.

Axiom Arcanist Does not increase the heal of lulu ultimate.

Nimbus Cloak helps engage/disengage with Summons.
Transcendence is vital for CDR. More casts = more protection.

Celerity is niche; mostly for Shurelya's Battlesong builds.

Absolute Focus is not worth as you'll be lower level than everyone else.
Gathering Storm out-values Scorch after 20 mins. Great for scaling shields.

Scorch helps win lane early but scales very poorly.

Waterwalking is the weakest option here for Lulu.
💜Items

Chart (Bright light warning!)

Source

Support upgrades

Anti Poke
Dream Maker
Best vs poke.
Speed
Solstice Sleigh
If you need Movespeed to kite/dive better.
Anti Dive
Celestial Opposition
Mostly useful against divers.

Boots

CDR
Ionian Boots of Lucidity 💜
CDR is a very important stat for Lulu. Buying this item first back is good as it really helps with your trades and cooldowns (especially polymorph) to give you a better chance in winning those 2v2 skirmishes.
If you feel slow, take Relentless Hunter. (Buy this first back if you can)
Anti-slow
Boots of Swiftness 💜
As slows are also appearing more often (especially vs Senna or Ashe), this item could help with trading in lane and positioning in teamfights.
Anti-AD
Plated Steelcaps
Only really worth buying when the enemy team has 4+ AD champions. More effective with Guardian (extra bonuses from Conditioning) than Summon Aery.
Anti-CC
Mercury's Treads
Buy against high CC or 4+ AP teams.
Roaming
Symbiotic Soles
For when you want to help the other lanes more than your own. Mostly used when your laner is self sufficient to lane solo.

Priority Items

Antiheal
Oblivion orb
So you can play against the healers like Soraka
Cleanse
Mikael's Blessing
A decent option if the enemy has a lot of CC. Could be bought first if the enemy botlane combo relies on CC to engage ( Ashe and Thresh for example). If they don't have a lot of CC, just skip this item.
Important tip: it also cleanses CC that happens 0.2 seconds after it has been used, making hard CC self-cleanses possible.
Self cleanse
Atk Spd
ardent censer
Buy this if your attack-speed ADC is doing well.
Mage carry
Staff of flowing water
Buy this if your mage botlane is doing well.
AoE Heal
Redemption
Default item since getting moonestone first doest really have value until you have more shielding/healing items. Great in teamfights and gives good stats.
Shield amp
Moonstone Renewer
Amplifies your shields to make it even stronger. usually bought second after Redemption or other healing items.

Filler items

Pocket
Knight's Vow
Prevent carries from being bursted.
Movespeed
Shurelya's Battlesong
I personally buy it when our team is ahead, and we can just run them down.
Vision
Vigilant Wardstone
A more situational buy when you dont need anything else but more vision.
Snowball
Dawncore
Really good stats and mostly affordable when you are ahead.
Anti Burst
Locket of the iron solari
A decent pick to counter 3+ assassins/burst teams; it has even more value against AOE ults like Katarina or Fiddlesticks. If you're rushing this, get Faerie Charm to offset the lack of mana regen.
💜Ability Tips and Tricks
Pix, Faerie companion (Passive)
  • For Spellthief's Edge: If safe to do so, stay clear of enemy minions so that your passive can hit the enemy champion, giving you +40 gold per auto.
  • Using E (enemy cast) before using your auto will also accomplish the same thing, as pix will be located around the enemy champion you targeted. This will give you +60 gold.

Ability tips/mechanics video


Glitterlance (Q)
  • Hitting both bolts of Glitterlance now deals 25% extra damage.
  • Damage doesn't decrease when it hits minions before your target!
  • Dealing full damage is made easier by using E (enemy cast) on the enemy champion beforehand, though doing so costs more mana.
  • Q + Flash makes for a good engage towards a low health enemy.
Basic skill showcase

Ability Tips/mechanics video


Whimsy (W)
  • Most of your W casts will be on the enemy (polymorph) as it is a very valuable skill used to make them vulnerable for your team to burst down. Keep checking the scoreboard to see who in the enemy team is fed and keep a mental note on who to prioritize the usage of polymorph in a teamfight.
  • W (ally cast) is mainly used for chasing down an enemy, usually when it's safe, or when the enemies near your carry are just tanks.
  • Fed assassins have a higher priority to get polymophed than fed bruisers, but usually you can get away with polymorphing the fed enemy that gets to your carry first.
  • Another use for this ability is to interrupt channeled enemy abilities ( Samira's Inferno Trigger, Miss Fortune's Bullet Time, etc).
  • W (enemy cast) is a projectile so it can be blocked by Yasuo's Wind Wall and Samira's Blade Whirl.
  • Never overlap polymorph with Exhaust, it is a waste. You could either wait for polymorph to end, or use it on another target while polymorph is active.
Basic skill showcase

Ability tips/mechanics video


Help, pix! (E)
  • E (enemy cast) is mainly useful in the early game for the extra damage. After laning phase its primary use is to counter stealth champions such as Akali, Senna, or Shaco preventing their stealth as E (enemy cast) gives true sight when cast on an enemy.
  • E (ally cast) will get stronger the later the game goes. Ally cast will be your main way to use Help, Pix! after laning phase.
  • E (ally cast) on minions then using Glitterlance is possible to interrupt an enemy recall who is far away, or even a sneaky way to get a kill on a low health enemy. It is not recommended (especially early game) as it uses a lot of mana. You're wasting a shield/true sight you can use to help your team.
Basic skill showcase

Ability Tips/mechanics video


Wild Growth (R)
  • Ult Priority: Carry is getting jumped on or is low -> saving it to cancel a channelled ultimate ability or dash canceling -> ulting your tank after engaging (only when other carries are safe)
  • The remaining bonus health will "heal" your target for that amount, and cant be stopped by anti-heal.
  • Using it on a fed ally melee champion can help chase enemies down due to the aura slow.
  • Using it on an ally when there's an enemy right on top of them can give space between your target and the enemy champion so you can aim your polymorph easier.
  • Can be used to bait enemy champions to diving you when you or the ADC is low health under tower.
