Hi everyone, I'm Baby J and I play on EUW server, I was Plat IV in Season 9 and I main the support role. I loved Lulu since the first moment I played her 5 years ago (started to play at the beginning of the season 3) and I have over 790k mastery points with her.
This is my first and only guide and I hope you enjoy it!

I'm Italian, please forgive my English.

Thanks for every person that gave me a +rep, I really appreciate it and it puts a smile on my face.


Thanks for the 1,9kk views! It's a big achievement for me and it's rewarding after spending dozens of hours editing this guide. ^o^

Pros + Strong early game + Utility + CCs on 3/4 skills + Fits into almost any comp + High poke + Amazing peel + Engage/Disengage skills + Great assassin-buster, anti-dive, and anti-stealth + Annoying laugh + Low cooldowns mid-late game + Incredibly fun to play Lulu is a gorgeous life-saver. She has a complete kit of OP stuff that you can use. Your choices in using her skills can make you a good Lulu player. You have to be quick thinking what to do in a certain moment and you have to predict what enemies will do (ex. towerdive) and be ready to react. Using your R ( Wild Growth) at the right moment can interrumpt jumps ( Rengar, Kha'Zix, Lee Sin...).

Cons - Hard to master - Relies on teammates - Needs a teammate to start teamfights - No sustain - Mana hungry - Squishy Lulu can be as good as you want, but she has weaknesses too. If enemies see that you're playing the game saving your teammates, they can probably decide to focus you instead. Unfortunately Lulu doesn't have skills to engage, so you rely on your teammates. Don't save your ADC if he's behind, but focus on the one in your team that's carrying. The problem is when your team isn't good at all and you can save them as much as you want but they will still die doing nothing.

Exhaust: Slows a target by 30% and reduces its damage by 40%. Exhaust is the spell I like to pick as support when I´m against assassins or heavy damage dealers like Master Yi (remember that you can't slow him with Exhaust if he's ulting), Irelia, Xin Zhao and so on. I can use it to engage or disengage. It's great against almost everyone really, but I take Ignite when I know that I will be playing aggressive or if the enemy team has a Dr. Mundo or champs like that. I would recommend to take this even if you don't trust your support skills yet.

Ignite: Sets fire to the enemy and does damage over 5 seconds, applying Grevious Wounds. If you're going to play aggressive or the enemy team has a lot of heals/lifesteal, pick Ignite instead of Exhaust.

Pix, Faerie Companion (Passive) EFFECT RADIUS: 2000 COST: / / / COOLDOWN: / / /

Lulu is assisted by Pix, a faerie, who fires a barrage of 3 bolts to her target every time she uses a basic attack against an enemy dealing magic damage. This passive is useful when you decide to poke enemies and push the lane attacking minions. If you have 2 minions in a row and you attack the farthest one from you, Pix will attack the nearest one (so you deal damage to two minions instead of one) Use this passive on enemies at any time possible, and if enemies turn around to attack you, shield yourself with Help, Pix! and run back. Casting Help, Pix! on an ally transfers Pix's help to them for the duration (if Pix kills an enemy, the kill will not go to Lulu).

Glitterlance (Q) TARGET RANGE: 925 COST: 50/55/60/65/70 mana COOLDOWN: 7 SPEED: 1500

Lulu and Pix, Faerie Companion Pix each fire a magic bolt towards the target point, dealing magic damage. Lulu and Pix each fire a magic bolt towards the target point, dealing magic damage to the first enemy they pass through (70% damage to enemies thereafter) and slowing them by 80%, decaying over 2 seconds. I use this ability to push the lane when my ADC ask me to and to poke enemies after they get hit by Help, Pix!. If you really want to deal more damage in lane, you can upgrade this skill before Whimsy, but I personally would do it only if I have an ADC that doesn't need attack speed in early game.

Whimsy (W) TARGET RANGE: 650 COST: 65 mana COOLDOWN: 16/15/14/13/12

Lulu casts erratic magic upon an ally champion, giving attack speed and movement speed / Lulu launches a spell on the target enemy champion polymorphing them and reducing their movement speed. Lulu casts erratic magic upon the target champion, giving them bonus attack speed and 30% (+ 5% per 100 AP) bonus movement speed for the next few seconds if they are an ally, or polymorphing them as well as slowing them by a flat 60 for a shorter duration if they are an enemy. This skill is one of the most annoying in the game, because you can make someone useless, like the enemy ADC/engager/APC/assassin if they are going for your ADC (or just a teammate). Don't use this skill randomly, because it is super important to have it when you really need it.

Help, Pix! (E) TARGET RANGE: 650 COST: 60/65/70/75/80 mana COOLDOWN: 8

Lulu sends Pix to the target ally, shielding them / Lulu sends Pix to the target enemy, dealing magic damage and granting vision through fog of war, brushes and stealth. Lulu sends Pix to the target unit, shielding them for up to 2,5 seconds if they are an allied champion, or dealing magic damage to her target and granting true sight of them for 4 seconds if they are an enemy. This skill is useful in every way: you can shield an ally, you can deal damage and you can reveal invisible champs (if you cast Help, Pix! before they go invisible). The shield lasts only 2,5 seconds, so you gotta be fast and shield at the right moment. Try not to waste your shield because it could be fatal for your lane.

Wild Growth (R) TARGET RANGE: 900 EFFECT RADIUS: 150 COST: 100 mana COOLDOWN: 110/95/80

Lulu enlarges the target allied champion, knocking up units around them, increasing their bonus health and causing them to slow nearby units. Lulu enlarges the target allied champion, knocking up units around them for 0.75 seconds, and giving her target bonus health and causing them to slow nearby units for 7 seconds. Be careful: this is NOT a heal, this is BONUS HP, this means that it cannot be countered by Grevious Wounds. You can use this ability on your engager to knock up enemies, or you can save it for your ADC or someone who is dying.

Here you can see the visual update that Riot made on Lulu´s abilities in 2019.

Sorcery ★ Summon Aery synergies incredibly well with Lulu's play-style mix of offensive lane pressure and late-game shielding. Make sure to pick up Aery as often as you can to make full use of her. ★ Manaflow Band on Lulu allows you to trade rather aggressively in lane often while keeping your mana reserves relatively high. You can pick Nullifying Orb if you're against lots of AP champs but you will have to build AP to gain some more shield. ★ Celerity on Lulu allows you to get/keep in range of your carry so that you're able to R Wild Growth them at clutch moments and provide utility/damage to win the fight. You can choose Transcendence, but I don't like AP on Lulu because she doesn't have high AP ratios. ★ Scorch paired with Summon Aery, grants Lulu fantastic lane power and harassment chip damage. Waterwalking is not really worth, because it would be only useful in Dragon and Baron fights. Resolve ★ Font of Life allows your team to heal up with auto-attacks on the enemy champions that you slow with Glitterlance and Wild Growth. If you build up HP with items like Randuin's Omen, the heal they receive is higher. ★ Revitalize is the last piece of the puzzle, empowering the shield of your E Help, Pix! and healing from Font of Life (if you pick this instead of Bone Plating & Redemption.

> > >

We want to max out Help, Pix! because it is the skill we will use the most to shield and poke. Then Whimsy as it polymorphs people (for 2,25 seconds) in cute little thingies and because it allows a lot of attack and movement speed. We level up Glitterlance last because its slow it's always 80%, so it's useful even at the first level and I personally don't want to deal damage (I just prefer Whimsy, but if you want to poke more early game you can max Glitterlance).

Standard item. This item is pretty cool because it makes you deal more damage with your poke. If I have a Vel'Koz/ Brand support against, I will pick the Relic Shield and play it passively. If you have a melee support aganst, poke him as much as possible, even with auto-attacks.

I always build these, because movement speed is vital but you can choose other shoes too. If you pick Transcendence and you want summoner spells to be up more often, build Ionian Boots of Lucidity.

Yes. This is the top item for Lulu. Your heals and shields grant 10-30% attack speed and 5-20% on-hit damage for 6 seconds. It stacks beautifully with Whimsy. Gives movement speed that stacks with Celerity.

Standard item. I always build it, but if you see that your team is fine in teamfights, you can choose to build something else. It has 120 seconds cooldown that become 72 if you have a fully stacked Ingenious Hunter.

You have an engager? You don't? This item is great in both situations. It only has 90 seconds CD (54 if you have a fully stacked Ingenious Hunter). If you don't like it you can always build something else, but I recommend it.

Great stats for supports, low cost and a useful active: two ghosts that reveals two enemy champions and slow them by 40% for 5 seconds. I recommend to build it as first or second item if the enemy team has a stealth champ in team. It has 90 seconds CD that become 54 with a fully stacked Ingenious Hunter.

This is where you and your team should ward:

• Yellow: Vital to protect the jungler on your team
• Blue: For protection depending on which lane you're on
• Red: To guard Dragon and Baron

And I made this for who is confused or unsure on when to ward (I know that you can't ward if your trinket is on cd):

Alright, the game begins and we're ready to win this lane!
I start with Help, Pix!, because I can help my jungler while pulling blue/red buff and because I often find enemies that have early poke. I want to help my adc to push the lane and get level 2 before them, so I autoattack minions and I'm ready to shield me or my adc if they want to trade. When you get level 2, take Glitterlance so you can push better, poke and slow enemies (even the enemy jungler if needed). If they have a jungler that can gank after level 2-3 (like Lee Sin, Shaco etc.), ward the river bush if you're pushing (ward their tri-bush if your jungler killed scuttle crub). If you're against a poke support, poke back only if that support is squishy, like Sona or Janna, while if it is a Lux, wait for her skills to be on CD before going to attack her.
If you're against a champ like Leona or Thresh, try to poke them with AA when they're attacking minions or if they trade you. Leona's engage is faster than Thresh's, so if she engages your adc, shield him and use Whimsy on their adc to make her engage useless and run back. If they keep following you, use Glitterlance to slow them down.
Always try to recall when your adc is recalling, so you get back to lane together. If your adc recalls but you have enough health and mana and you need gold, stay in lane and last-hit minions. You'll recall when your adc recalls again or if you know that he's not going to die if you go back. Use Whimsy to get back to lane faster.
Keep bushes warded to avoid enemy ganks. Ward the drake if they have a champ that can solo it, like Shyvana, Kindred, Udyr, Warwick, Xin Zhao etc. or if you see that they want to fight for it.
There will be times in which you won't have wards to place, so don't push the lane and try to stay behind minions.
If your adc has escapes or a high mobility ( Ezreal, Lucian, Caitlyn, Corki...) use Whimsy on you to run away from ganks or engages.

Ok guys, I think that teamworks are the most funny part to play as Lulu, because you can destroy the enemy team. Stay behind your team, near your ADC and ward in the jungle around you (overall if they have champs like Shaco, Zac, Fiddlesticks, Vi, Kayn...) to avoid surprises by the enemy. Always shield your front line from poke, keep an eye on their APC or assassin, be ready to use your actives or your skills. If you see that the enemy is coming closer, slow them with Glitterlance and walk back. Speed slow allies like Jhin to make them run away faster. If they have a champ like Talon or Vayne that can become invisible, try to land Help, Pix! on it, so if it becomes invisible you can still see it thanks to Pix. You can do a lot of things in teamworks. Your Whimsy gives 45% attack speed, so you can decide to speed an ally or polymorph a strong enemy for 2,25 seconds. You can ult your front line for a great engage, or you can keep ult for an ally that's dying. Remember that Wild Growth slows enemies around it! If you see that your team dies too fast, you can try to build Locket of the Iron Solari or try to land Redemption sooner. Use Mikael's Crucible as fast as you can on a CC'ed ally. You can do a lot of things in teamfights and you could be the first target, so be careful!

Slow Queen Lulu/Ashe synergy Ashe is a squishy ADC and cannot peel herself; this will be our job. She may seem weak in early levels if she plays passively, but she can melt enemies' life. She has no mobility, so we can speed her up with Whimsy when needed (like when she activates her Q: Ranger's Focus or just to run away without wasting her ultimate Enchanted Crystal Arrow. Try to keep enemies away from her so she can farm safely in lane and wait for her to engage. There are so many thing that could happen in that engage that I can't even do an example lol. You can speed her up and give her attack speed to make her Ranger's Focus proc faster, or polymorph their ADC to "save" Ashe from some damage. A decent Ashe will never be out of position because she can die so easily. Protect her with everything you have and shield her in teamfight for Ardent Censer's passive.

Can't touch her Lulu/caitlyn synergy With Caitlyn you can go a bit deeper poking enemies because she can help you with her long range even if she's farming. You can even play passively and shield her when needed. If an enemy step on Yordle Snap Trap, use Help, Pix! on Caitlyn because she deals more damage with Pix. You can even polymorph an enemy so he can't dash away and Caitlyn puts a trap near him. She has an escape: 90 Caliber Net, so if you're getting ganked, use Whimsy on you to run away. Caitlyn has a strong mid-late game, her crits are just ridiculous. Save this Sheriff at the cost of your life.

Little bombardier Lulu/corki synergy Well, Corki is an ADC that I never see around and when I see him, it's mid. He doesn't really need attack speed because he deals damage with his abilities, he has a dash: Valkyrie, so he probably doesn't even need your movement speed. You'll have to use Whimsy on you just to stay by his side! Probably he will build Phage (that will become Trinity Force) so with that movement speed and his Valkyrie he moves around pretty fast. He deals a lot of damage but you might have to use Flash to save him in teamfights.

DRAAAAAAAAAVEN lulu/draven Sooo... What should I say? Draven is Draven (or Draaaaaven), he deals tons of damage at level 1 already. Draven/Lulu isn't the best match together but I think that Lulu works with almost everyone, so.. If you see him going aggressive, you can choose between using Help, Pix! > Glitterlance on the enemy if he's running away or shield Draven and polymorph their ADC. Keep him alive and let him do all the damage he can do! You might have to buy Mikael's Crucible because he'll be focused hard, so be careful.

Annoying Explorer Lulu/Ezreal synergy I think that Ezreal is one of the most annoying ADCs to have against if he's able to hit his Q Mystic Shot. I think that he would lane better with a tank like Leona/ Thresh, because he plays passively and he needs to engage with his only escape Arcane Shift, so if enemies turn against him he could be forced to use Flash or just dead. His only CC is the Iceborn Gauntlet's slow, so you'll have to be careful because he can die easily if he gets caught. Same as Caitlyn, he has an escape, so if you get ganked, use Whimsy on yourself to run away. If enemies have Blitzcrank, Thresh, Leona or Morgana, they might focus you with their CCs and engages, because Ezreal can jump away from them. Be very careful!

Mustached outlaw Lulu/graves synergy Graves isn't used that much as ADC and I don't see him often. He only has 2 bullets, so if he isn't that good, he'll probably lose lots of minions. If he gets some kills and you reach mid/late game, he'll burst down enemies' lives. I almost see him as an assassin, he just dash in with Quickdraw and with Q End of the Line and R Collateral Damage he could kill someone squishy. Lulu doesn't have CCs to help him, but you can use Whimsy on him when your team engages or you can keep it if enemies engage you and they have an assassin or a fed mage/ADC and polymorph him. I think that this lane could work well, Lulu has everything Graves needs to stay alive so he can do free damage.

Beautifully deadly Lulu/jhin synergy I really love Jhin, he's awesome and his abilities are so cool! He has a lot of damage in early game and destroys in late. He has Dancing Grenade for waveclear and poke. Try to play near Captive Audience because if enemies step on it, they will be slowed and Jhin can use Deadly Flourish to snare them. Try to use Glitterlance to slow enemies so they get the damage from Captive Audience (if they have a dash like Lucian, Ezreal or Caitlyn, use Whimsy to polymorph them instead). Like Ace in the Hole, Curtain Call can be blocked. Try to keep enemies inside of it with your slow and your polymorph, or just try to use Help, Pix! on one enemy to keep having vision even if there isn't. Jhin gains 10% (+4% + 10% bonus attack speed) bonus movement speed when he lands critical strikes, so you can help him speeding him up with Whimsy.

Even more hypercarry Lulu/jinx synergy Jinx is the hypercarry I adore. Try to get her fed in early game and she will be a Super Mega Death-Bringer. She gains mobility only from Get Excited! and her only self peel is Flame Chompers!. If she catches an enemy with her traps, wait 1-2 seconds and use Glitterlance on him and Whimsy and Help, Pix! on Jinx granting her movement speed to follow up and bonus damage from Pix. If you see that she's throwing her Super Mega Death Rocket! around the map, use a skill on her so you might get some assists. However, do what you can to save Jinx, die for her if it's needed.

Vengeful purifier Lulu/lucian synergy Lucian has high damage thanks to his passive: Lightslinger and high mobility thanks to Relentless Pursuit and Phage's passive (they often build Trinity Force or Black Cleaver). You can use Help, Pix! to increase his damage and Whimsy on him when he engages and Glitterlance to slow down enemies to help Lucian hitting his ultimate: The Culling. Enemies will try to stop him when he's ulting, so be prepared to use Wild Growth on him to knock them up and slow them.

Cute but lethal Lulu/kog'maw synergy Kog'Maw has a power-spike after he gets Guinsoo's Rageblade, it beautifully stacks with Lulu's Whimsy and he can deal more damage if you cast Help, Pix! on him having Ardent Censer. He may be weaker in the first levels, so you'll have to be careful. If you get ganked, give him movement speed even if it costs your life. If he can stay alive and get kills, you can help him to carry the game. He could just stay still and do everything with you behind his back lol. Even if the game's not going well, don't surrend if you see a possibility to get Kog'Maw fed!

Sexy Captain Lulu/MF synergy Miss Fortune can be really annoying if she's able to land her Double Up correctly (killing a minion with it and hit an enemy with the bounce). Enemies will try to stand in front of their minions or just near them but not behind, so in this moment you have to poke them to make them retreat. If they don't have sustain, they will be forced to stay under their turret waiting for the minions to come. Don't push the lane and carefully stay behind enemy minions, making enemies lose XP and gold and making Miss Fortune farm without problems. When she ults, she will be focused by assassins or champs that will try to stun/silence her. Example: Enemy Rengar is ulting, he jumps on your Miss Fortune in the middle of her ultimate, Wild Growth on her before he finish the jump so he gets knock-up'd. It needs a bit of reflexes to do it, but it's totally doable. Her movement speed may leave you back, so just use Whimsy on you to stay with her. When she is in combat, she has no mobility or movement speed at all, so help her with that.

Bounty hunters Lulu/Quinn synergy You don't usually see a Quinn ADC, because she has to go pretty close to the enemy to deal damage. She needs a lot of peel, so keep your eyes on her in teamfights. I recommend to buy Mikael's Crucible because she will get stunned or something 10/10. Quinn literally destroys everything if you know how to use her properly. You won't be able to run with her, she's way too fast when she flies with Valor. Use Whimsy on yourself.

Shurima's mercenary Lulu/Sivir synergy Sivir can poke a lot from afar and push fast with Boomerang Blade and a little bit with Ricochet. It's an ADC that pushes a lot, so always put wards in the river and a Control Ward in the tri-bush to see if their jungler is coming to gank you. Sivir has Spell Shield to "block" an ability, but she has to have reflexes to time it right. She can engage/disengage with On The Hunt. Sivir can follow her enemies thanks to her passiive Fleet of Foot, but she doesn't have escape skills (except of her R) so you have to help her with Whimsy or Glitterlance to slow enemies. She can be a best, even if none play her. Protect her a lot in teamfight, with everything you can. Her Ricochet (if Sivir critically strike her target, the bounces do so as well) plus Boomerang Blade can deal so much damage in a teamfight. I'd like to see more Sivirs around!

Bounty hunters Lulu/Tristana synergy Tristana is a mobilty ADC with several engage/disengage abilities. You are more in danger than her in lane, so try to keep your health up. Tristana gains attack range with levels thanks to Draw a Bead. She probably will go deep at the beginning, so she needs you to stay alive. Mid/Late game, things will get easier (or harder), you can focus more on other teammates instead of only on Tristana (only if you see that the player that's playing her knows what to do!). I recommend to buy Mikael's Crucible because she will get stunned or something in teamfight 10/10. Tristana literally destroys everything if she does things well. Use Whimsy on her even if she is using Rapid Fire (better to use it when it's on cd), attack speed is damn strong on Tristana. And shield her, of course, to give her more attack speed and damage on-hit from Ardent Censer.

Corrupted arrow Lulu/Varus synergy Varus is pretty strong, but I don't see him much. He has no mobility, but he has AoE slow with Hail of Arrows and AoE root with Chain of Corruption. He's all about hitting skillshots. Peel for him in the first levels, as if he could take a lot of damage. You can speed him up with Whimsy when he's charging his Q, because it slows him down. He often build on-hit items so Whimsy and Ardent Censer help him doing a lot of more damage.

Late game beast Lulu/Vayne synergy In my opinion, this is one of the strongest synergies. I often play with my boyfriend that mains Vayne and I like so much these champs together. Vayne needs attack speed, Lulu gives her 45% ( Whimsy) + 10-30% ( Ardent Censer) attack speed. Vayne needs movement speed, Lulu gives her 30% (+5% AP) ( Whimsy) movement speed. Vayne needs peeling, Lulu keeps her alive with shield ( Help, Pix!) and bonus health ( Wild Growth) (Plus all the support items like Redemption and Redemption). Vayne has everything from Lulu and if you manage to keep Vayne alive, she'll carry your whole team.

Killer from the Void Lulu/Kai'Sa synergy From what I experienced, this is a great lane. Kai'Sa doesn't have much range (525) so she can take a lot of damage from enemies in lane, so she needs your peel. You can decide what to do between playing defensively and protect her or staying in front of her poking enemies with your skills. In teamfights she will probably jump in the enemy team with her ultimate so you must be fast and ult her (even if she's not low on health). If enemies turn around on her, you can knock-up them all with your ultimate and give Kai'Sa the time to kill her prey or to escape. Use Flash to ult her if you don't get in range fast enough, it's damn worth it if she gets kills! I have a lot of fun when I have a Kai'Sa on my team.

Let those feathers fly! Lulu/Xayah Synergy Xayah is one of my fav ADCs, she has a lot of damage in early levels and if the player have a brain, she can easily ged fed with a decent support that keeps her alive. Xayah can reach a large amount of attack speed thanks to her W ( Deadly Plumage = 50% attack speed at skill level 5), your W ( Whimsy) and your shield ( Help, Pix!) if you have Ardent Censer. Xayah doesn't have a gap closer (Idk if you consider Featherstorm a gap closer), so she needs your movement speed to engage or chase enemies. She can get easily killed if she gets stunned or hard-CCed, so build Mikael's Crucible if you see that enemies have more than one CC (like Leona, Nautilus, Fiddlesticks and a lot more). Xayah really does TONS of damage, so if you manage to get her fed, nothing will stop her. She'll be focused in every teamfight and if enemies see her alone in lane, so try to stay with her (if you see that you're probably going to die, go away and ping her to retreat, 2v4/5 is never good) and save her at any cost.

Lulu is a versatile champion. There are so much different choices you can make on her. This is the guide on how I play her, but you can obviously choose other things. She takes time to be mastered. Not dying or giving help just with your skills not means that you are using her well. Everyone knows how to click on Q-W-E-R, not everyone know how to click on them in the right moment. She is funny to play, because everytime an enemy tries to kill you/one of your team using everything he has (ult, ignite, exhaust, items' actives ecc) and you save him, you're going to smile and say "nope" to the enemy. You can do a lot of things playing Lulu and you won't regret it.
I hope you'll love her the way I do.

I'd like to thank my lovely boyfriend for reading this guide and help me with my errors and for giving me the motivation to go on.

Thanks to jhoijhoi because without her guide, mine would be nothing.

Thanks for reading this guide, I really hope you enjoyed it! ♥

Lulu was always a caring and deeply empathetic yordle, who lived as much in her whimsical daydreams as in reality. One day, while wandering the material realm, she came upon what appeared to be a bird with a broken wing. She ran to help, at which point the bird turned into a tiny, mischievous Pix, Faerie Companion fae spirit. Before she could react, the faerie grabbed her walking stick and took off. Giggling, Lulu gave chase.

The spirit led her far into the forest. They went over boulders, under logs, and around ancient, overgrown stone circles. The faerie darted into a cave hidden behind a waterfall, and Lulu went after it. It flittered ahead, always just out of reach.

Down and down and down they went. Lulu tumbled and scrambled around twisted roots and glowing mushrooms, and at some point they crossed over into the spirit realm without her realizing it. Their surroundings became progressively stranger and more disorienting; up became down, forward became backward, big became small.

Finally, after what seemed forever, Lulu caught up with the faerie, whose name, she discovered, was Pix.

With a click of his tiny fingers, Pix turned her humble walking stick into a spiraling staff, and tossed it back to her. It sprouted leaves and flowers, making Lulu gasp in delight. So began their forever-friendship, built of mischief, fun, and love of nature.

Pix had led her to the Glade.

Bandle City, Lulu’s home, was a bizarre and magical place that defied logic, where time was meaningless and the natural laws of the material realm did not wholly apply. And yet the Glade was a place stranger still—it existed long before yordles came into the world, and it was perhaps from the Glade that Bandle City itself sprung. A place of raw primordial magic, it was hidden away so deeply that no yordle had ever found it… until now.

Here, Lulu’s own magic became wildly magnified. Laughing joyfully, she discovered she could reshape her surroundings at will, as well as alter her form to whatever she wanted. Everything and anything from her overactive imagination came to life.

Lulu didn’t know if Pix had brought her here because he saw in her a kindred soul and simply wanted someone to play with, or if the Glade needed her for some other purpose—but she fell in love with it instantly. Her life became one of endless creation and play, and she soon forgot anything else existed.

When finally she remembered, it was like waking from a dream.

She found herself back in the material realm, not knowing if a single day had passed, or a thousand years. To her surprise and joy, she found that some of her newfound power had come with her, allowing her to make small things large, change colors to those more pleasing to her, and cause creatures to fall spontaneously asleep. To Pix’s endless amusement, she Whimsy turned the mightiest beasts into tiny, bewildered frogs or squirrels with a flick of her staff.

Nevertheless, she began to miss the Glade. She decided to go back, but realized she didn’t remember the way. Pix was no help, claiming to have forgotten as well, though it was possible he just didn’t want to return quite yet.

Unperturbed, Lulu set out anyway. She was certain the route back to the Glade was always shifting, making one way as good as another. She simply picked whatever direction took her fancy at any particular moment, and even threw herself into seemingly terrible danger whenever it looked fun. Her travels took her far and wide, and magic, mayhem, and mishap tended to follow wherever she went.

In Demacia, she freed a group of children from their boring history lessons, and led them off into a nearby meadow. Her game resulted in them being turned into toadstools for a full turn of the moon, while their desperate parents and the local militia searched for them in vain. It wasn’t quite what Lulu had intended, but fun nonetheless. When the children finally returned home and told everyone what had happened, no one believed them.

In the borderlands of the Freljord, Lulu thought it would be hilarious to change the weapons of two rival tribes into flowers just as they clashed, which resulted in absolute chaos and confusion. More recently, she has found herself happily lost in Ionia, playing in the glowing everblooms of Qaelin, and playing pranks on bewildered acolytes of the Order of Shadow, who she thinks are far too serious for their own good.

While Lulu seeks to return to the Glade, and misses it, she is happy, for every day brings more opportunity for adventure and fun.

And besides, she has come to realize that she carries a part of the Glade in her heart, wherever she goes.

"The best path between two points is upside-down, between, then inside-out and round again."
