Lulu Build Guide by Mystral

Introduction

Hi everyone, I'm Lulu On Drugs and I play on EUW server, I'm actually Gold IV and I main the support role. I loved Lulu since the first moment I played her 4 years ago and I have over 650k mastery points with her.
This is my first guide ever.
I have a plays.tv account if you want to see some of my clips!

Spells

Exhaust: Slows a target by 30% and reduces its damage by 40%. Exhaust is the spell I like to pick as support, because I can use it to engage or to disengage. It's great against almost everyone, especially assassins. Take this if your ADC goes for Heal instead of Barrier.

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.

Heal: Why heal? Because ADCs should take Barrier (because of the 30 more seconds of cooldown on Heal) and Heal could be a lot effective coming from us. Ardent Censer (it procs on Heal too)/ Redemption / Mikael's Crucible grants more healing power (you can take Revitalize to make it even more effective). If your ADC takes Heal, take Exhaust or Ignite instead.

Abilities

Pix, Faerie Companion (Passive)
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 a unit, dealing 5 - 39 (based on level) (+ 5% AP) bonus magic damage with each bolt to the first enemy it hits, for a total of 15 - 117 (based on level) (+ 15% AP) bonus magic damage per basic attack. The bolts can be blocked by units in the way of Lulu's target.
Casting Help, Pix! on an ally transfers Pix's help to them for the duration.

Glitterlance (Active)
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.

MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 (+ 50% AP)
REDUCED DAMAGE: 56 / 87.5 / 119 / 150.5 / 182 (+ 35% AP)
MANA COST: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70
COOLDOWN: 7







Whimsy (Active)
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.

BONUS ATTACK SPEED: 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45%
DURATION: 3 / 3.25 / 3.5 / 3.75 / 4
POLYMORPH DURATION: 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25
MANA COST: 65
COOLDOWN: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12







Help, Pix! (Active)
Lulu sends Pix to the target unit, shielding them for up to 6 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.

SHIELD STRENGTH: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 60% AP)
MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 / 200 (+ 40% AP)
MANA COST: 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100
COOLDOWN: 10







Wild Growth (Ultimate)
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.

BONUS HEALTH: 300 / 450 / 600 (+ 50% AP)
SLOW: 30 / 45 / 60%
MANA COST: 100
COOLDOWN: 110 / 95 / 80

Runes

Keystone:

Summon Aery ❀ Summon Aery 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.

Arcane Comet ❀ Arcane Comet I think that Arcane Comet is great on champs that has CCs, like Dark Binding, because it hits 100%. You can still pick it and poke a lot trying to proc the comet with Glitterlance but I don't really like it, because it doesn't help your support role in my opinion.

Phase Rush ❀ Phase Rush You don't need this rune at all. You can proc it with Help, Pix! > AA > Glitterlance and you can follow better to land one or two more autos, but I don't recommend it, since it helps you in laning phase but not in teamfights. You won't get any benefit from picking this rune.

Nullifying Orb ❀ Nullifying Orb I never take this rune as Lulu, but you can consider it if you are facing against Brand, Lux, Malzahar or Zyra. I personally wouldn't recommend it because the other two choices are so much better than this. The shield is based on your AP and we won't build so much of it, so I would avoid this.

Manaflow band ❀ Manaflow Band This rune allows you to have 25 max more mana everytime you hit an enemy with a skill (15 seconds CD) and when you reach 250 max mana, Manaflow Band restores 1% of your missing mana every 5 seconds. I personally prefer it like this instead on how it was before. It allows you to play more aggressively without worrying about your mana. If you don't have mana problems, take The Ultimate Hat instead.

The Ultimate Hat ❀ Nimbus Cloak I don't really like this rune, but it might be useful if you're in danger and you use Wild Growth on yourself to escape. I prefer Manaflow Band 10/10.

Transcendence ❀ Transcendence This is a great rune choice for most mages and supports as repetitive spell casts is the majority of their damage/utility, and pairs well with The Ultimate Hat. I like this rune because I build like 4 or 5 CDR items so I reach 40% and I take AP from the extra CDR that helps me poke even more or to bring even more utility with my skills.

Celerity ❀ Celerity I'd recommend this rune if you choose to pick Relentless Hunter and Waterwalking. It stacks great with Boots of Mobility and the movement speed from Ardent Censer and Twin Shadows and Ohmwrecker's passive. You will have a lot of movement speed, with or without Celerity, so you can take this if you prefer to have a bit more AP.

Absolute focus ❀ Absolute Focus This rune helps you in laning phase, allowing you to deal more damage with your poke, but I would avoid it because of the low Lulu range. You will always take damage in return when you go in to poke enemies and you don't have sustain, so it doesn't help you so much. The other two choices are a lot better than this.

Scorch ❀ Scorch Paired with Summon Aery, Scorch grants Lulu fantastic lane power and harassment chip damage. I pick this when I have squishy enemies in lane, because with 2 combos (E > AA > Q) they have to play passively or eventually recall.

Waterwalking ❀ Waterwalking I'd recommend this rune if you choose to pick Celerity or if you want to play passively. This rune helps you through teamfights in rivers for Drakes and Barons. It gives 25 movement speed even if you're in combat so it's useful to reach your allies with your skills and to avoid skillshots.

Gathering Storm ❀ Gathering Storm I wouldn't take this on Lulu because she doesn't have high AP scaling and it's very situational because you can't know how long the game will last, so I think that it would be wasted.

Demolish ❀ Demolish Don't take this if you're not going to build tank Lulu with a lot of HP. The other two choices are much better than this for us.

Font Of Life ❀ Font of Life This rune on Lulu is a deceptively strong rune choice thanks to her ability to slow enemy champions with 3 of her 4 abilities (Q, W, R) allowing you team to heal for massive amounts in teamfights and provides a bit of sustain in laning phase. Don't take this rune if your ADC is Jhin or Graves.

Bone Plating ❀ Bone Plating This rune is interesting, if you want to poke, you will take less damage and it can help a lot during the lane phase. If you want to pick Resolve even if you have Jhin or Graves take this rune instead of Font of Life.

Overgrowth ❀ Overgrowth I don't really like this rune, I think that 0,2% maximum health every 8 minions it would be almost useless for us because we don't build so much HP and it takes a lot of laning phase and we want to roam around placing wards and helping our teammates.

Revitalize ❀ Revitalize This rune is the last piece of the puzzle, empowering the shield of your Help, Pix! and healing from Font of Life & Redemption. Always take this if you go for Resolve, it's a lot useful, especially in teamfights.

Unflinching ❀ Unflinching I never used this rune, like, never ever. It could be nice on engagers like Rakan, but not on Lulu. If you really want tenacity, go for Legend: Tenacity in Precision tree.

Keystone:

Electrocute ❀ Electrocute This rune it's like the old Thunderlord's Decree , so I think that it can go really well with Lulu, but the thing that makes me avoid it it's the fact that's only useful in laning phase. You don't want to be in frontline trying to poke enemies before a teamfight. I don't recommend it, but you could win the lane just because of your damage.

Predator ❀ Predator This is a big, fat no. This works especially for junglers like Hecarim and Rammus, we don't like this.

Dark Harvest ❀ Dark Harvest Aaand another nope. I like this rune but not on Lulu. We don't need to deal damage in mid/late game, so avoid this rune.

Zombie Ward ❀ Zombie Ward This is great to have a lot of map control, because it leaves a ward when you kill a ward or if it just expires, but it's visible and "dies" from one hit.

Ghost Poro ❀ Ghost Poro No. Just no.

Eyeball Collection ❀ Eyeball Collection I don't like this rune, it gives us 30 AP in total when we collect 20 eyeballs, but we don't need that. Always take Zombie Ward from this line because this rune and Ghost Poro are horrible on Lulu.

Ingenious hunter ❀ Ingenious Hunter This rune is a lot useful for the build I make on Lulu because I have more than 4 items with an active. It gives me 15% (+5% x 5 stacks) item CDR for a total of 40%, so I don't really have to worry about them being on cooldown when a teamfight begins. If you prefer the movement speed out of combat, go for Relentless Hunter.

Relentless Hunter ❀ Relentless Hunter This rune allows Lulu to run fast. 48 extra movement speed out of combat, plus Ardent Censer, Twin Shadows and Shurelya's Reverie's passive and Boots of Mobility! This rune is useful when we have to roam around the map placing wards and destroying the enemy ones, but it's useless when a teamfight begins, because you will enter in combat.

Ultimate Hunter ❀ Ultimate Hunter This rune allows Lulu have more CDR on Wild Growth. It gives 5% (+2% x 5 stacks) CDR. If you're not building more than 1-2 activable items, pick this instead of Ingenious Hunter.

Keystone:

Unsealed Spellbook ❀ Unsealed Spellbook This rune is good if you want to have spell CDR (you can buy Ionian Boots of Lucidity to have even more CDR) or if you just want the possibility to switch one. You can switch between Ignite, Exhaust, Heal (if your ADC has it on CD) or even Teleport if you want. I personally don't like this rune, but you can try it out.

Glacial Augment ❀ Glacial Augment I tried this rune in a few games but I didn't even noticed I had it. It works better on melee champs, so I would let this to them. You already slow a lot (80%) with Glitterlance, so you don't really need Glacial Augment at all.

Kleptomancy ❀ Kleptomancy I like to pick this rune when i have a tank melee support against. I can't really get close to the enemy ADC to poke him if he has Thresh or Leona as support, so I just stay away and use Glitterlance > AA on their tank when he gets closer to make Kleptomancy pop. I don't know if it's for this rune or what, but I noticed that I finish my support quest much earlier than when I'm using Summon Aery.

Hextech Flashtraption ❀ Hextech Flashtraption We're not engagers, we don't need a second flash. If you don't feel safe, maybe you can try it out but you have to charge it, I wouldn't recommend it.

Magical Footwear ❀ Magical Footwear This rune could be useful if you're going aggressive, maybe taking Ignite, to have more kills or assist in less than 10 minutes. While you wait for these, you can focus more on support items like Ardent Censer or Redemption.

Perfect Timing ❀ Perfect Timing I never took this rune as a support, except when I played Lux or Morgana. It's a free Zhonya's Hourglass after 8 minutes, but it gives a few gold when you sell it and we won't build a Zhonya. I personally wouldn't take it.

Future's Market ❀ Future's Market I think that this rune is great when you want to rush Ardent Censer or Redemption, but I also think that it's better on champ that build things like [[tear of the goddess] and Rod of Ages. You can take this if you'd like, it's good with every champ.

Minion Dematerializer ❀ Minion Dematerializer This is useless for us. I'd take it on Blitzcrank, Morgana, Thresh and champs like that, but not on Lulu. We don't need to kill minions to do our combos and stuff, so just avoid this.

Biscuit Delivery ❀ Biscuit Delivery This is the rune we're looking for when we choose the Inspiration tree. It allows us to poke more and have a higher mana cap. You can pick this even if you play passively, it still has utility and helps you through the laning phase. It even helps you to survive from Ignite if you're fast enough to use (or eat) it.

Cosmic Insight ❀ Cosmic Insight And this is our second rune from the Inspiration tree. It gives us a bit of cooldown for everything. It even allows us to reach 45% CDR instead of 40%. If you don't really like Cosmic Insight, you can choose Time Warp Tonic.

Approach Velocity ❀ Approach Velocity We slow enemies with Glitterlance, Wild Growth and Twin Shadows and the movement speed towards a CC'ed ally can be good to reach him and save his life. I don't like this so much, but if you do, you can pick it.

Time Warp Tonic ❀ Time Warp Tonic I never tried this, but maybe I should. It makes our potions, elixirs and biscuit last 20% longer and gives us 5% movement speed when we are under their effects. It's really not bad, considering that elixirs last 3 minutes (180 seconds + 36 with this rune).

Overheal ❀ Overheal No. It's really not worth.

Triumph ❀ Triumph This helps us a lot in teamfights. It restores 12% of our missing health (and it can save our life) and we gain 20 additional gold from every kill or assist. Considering that I have more than 10 assist almost every time I use Lulu, I'd have more than 200 extra gold.

Presence Of Mind ❀ Presence of Mind After this patch (8.7), this rune is a must on almost every champion. Every kill or assist restore your 20% maximum mana and refund 10% of your ultimate cooldown. It's just too strong, especially on Lulu because we might ulti twice in a teamfight saving two allies instead of one. If you don't like Inspiration and Domination, choose this.

Legend: Alacrity ❀ Legend: Alacrity You can choose this if you want to poke a lot with your auto attacks, it would be fun. I personally don't recommend it, but if you want you can give it a shot.

Legend: Tenacity ❀ Legend: Tenacity Choose this if you are facing a team with lots of CCs! I found this rune really useful, especially if you build Mercury's Treads. You will have 60% tenacity (30% tenacity from the rune and 30% from boots), so CCs will last much less on you. Give it a try, it can save your life and even your allies, because if you are CC'ed, you can't save them.

Legend: Bloodline ❀ Legend: Bloodline Useless on Lulu, don't even think to pick this rune.

Skill Sequence

> > >

We want to max out Help, Pix! because it is the skill we will use the most. Then Whimsy as it polymorphs people 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 we don't want to deal damage.

Items

I choose this if I'm against a melee support. If I have a Lux support against, I will pick the Remnant of the Ascended because I won't get in her range to poke her so I would never finish the quest. This item is pretty cool because it makes you deal more damage but pick it only if you know that you're going to be aggressive and poke a lot.

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, because they give 10% CDR (so you will get AP if you exceed) and summoner spell CDR. You can choose to pick Unsealed Spellbook with these.

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. It has great stats, I just love it and it's a must on Lulu. This item is the reason why Lulu and Janna are always banned.


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.
If you have Ornn in team, remember to upgrade this into Salvation!

I missed this item a lot. You don't have an engager? You have an engager? This item is great in both situations. It only has 60 seconds CD (36 if you have a fully stacked Ingenious Hunter) so you can use it like always. It's not a must! If you don't like it you can always build something else, but I recommend it.

YESSS! I missed this item so much! 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 ( Vayne, Evelynn, Rengar and so on). It has 90 seconds CD that become 54 with a fully stacked Ingenious Hunter.

Other items you can choose
AGAINST AD

I don't build this item so much, but its stats are pretty strong on Lulu. Build this if the enemy team has 2-3 attack speed-based champs like Vayne, Jinx, Master Yi, Xin Zhao.



Thornmail is OP right now. It gives you health and a lot of armor. When you get hit by an AA, you reflect magic damage equal to 10% of your bonus armor plus 25 (so I would recommend to build another armor item, like Randuin's Omen) and inflict Grevious Wounds on the attacker. It also slows its attack speed by 15% for 1 second.

This is the item we need to survive to AD assassins (like Zed, Talon, Rengar and Kha'Zix)! It gives a lot of HP and 60 armor, it makes you pretty hard to kill for an ADC also (for the passive that reduces crit damage by 10% and the one that slows enemy's attack speed by 15% if you're hit by an AA).

AGAINST AP

Take this item if they have a heavy engage like Unstoppable Force, Glacial Prison, Curse of the Sad Mummy, Solar Flare or even just a Blitzcrank/ Thresh. This is your main item against AP champs, build it if they have a fed AP that could just burst you down like Fizz, LeBlanc, Ahri ecc. Now it gives AP and 10% cdr, so it wouldn't be a so bad choice.

Alright guys, you team is going well, they're not dying that much and enemy towers are gone in like 15-20 minutes. This is your item after Redemption. You can poke and stack Blood Charges, so when you heal someone, you will heal them even more. Remember that you're pretty easy to kill if you build this.

This item is pretty cool: its stats are great to be tanky and its passive will help your AP carries dealing 10% more damage. It even gives you the 10% cdr you need to reach 45%. You can choose between this and Adaptive Helm.
Choose this if you have Ornn in team, so you can upgrade it into Infernal Mask!

This item gives more armor than MR, so why I put it in "against AP"? Because of its active. If enemy team has 2-3 AP champs and you use this on a minion that's going toplane, you force their AD/ADC to go top to kill it and depush the lane. In that time, your team can try to engage a 5v4 and most likely to win it.

SITUATIONALS

This item doesn't belong to us anymore. It's great on champs like Leona, Rakan etc. Now when you ult near your ally, it surrounds you with a frost storm and ignites ally's AA. The storm around you slows enemyes by 20% and your ally's AA burn enemies for a 50% bonus magic damage over 2 seconds. Don't build this, we're not going to join the party in the middle of the fight.

I like these, but I prefer Boots of Mobility. If you want to keep running a bit fast in fights, pick these. If you want to run faster around the map, take mobility ones. These reduce slowing effects by 25%, so they're pretty good, because lot of champs have slowing skills.


Pick this if you want to keep a lane safe from being pushed. It has the same passive as Ohmwrecker, but the damage done by the first and the fourth Voidspawn gain 15% of your total health as damage, so I would recommend to build another HP item in addition to Redemption.


There will always be at least one enemy in the enemy team that has a hard CC, so this is a good choice. If you time it right, you can save a teammate granting him 40% movement speed after the "cleanse". It stats are not great but we like that 20% bonus shielding power.

Warding

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):

Laning Phase

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, don't poke back because you don't have Thunderlord's Decree , so just focus on shielding.
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.
Buy Sightstone asap and 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.

Team Work

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...) 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 run away. If they have a champ like Talon or Vayne that can become invisible, try to land Help, Pix! on him, so if he becomes invisible you can still see him 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! Use Locket of the Iron Solari if they have a lot of AoE damage, like LeBlanc, Katarina, Lux etc. or just to protect an ally from an assassin like Rengar or Zed. 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!

ADC Synergies

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 The 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 Locket of the Iron Solari). 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.

Conclusions

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! ♥

Lore

Perhaps more than any other champion in the League, Lulu marches to the beat of her own drum. During her youth in Bandle City, she spent most of her time wandering alone in the forest or lost in a daydream. It wasn’t that she was antisocial; the day-to-day bustle of Bandle City just couldn't compete with the vibrant world of her imagination. She saw wonder in places most people overlooked. This was how she found Pix, a fae spirit, pretending to be stuck in a birdhouse. Lulu's imagination distinguished her to Pix, and he seized the opportunity to lure her into his life. He brought her to the Glade, the enchanted home of the fae, which lay nestled in a clearing in the woods. There the rigid properties of the outside world - things like size and color - changed as frequently and whimsically as the direction of the wind. Lulu felt at home in the Glade and she lingered there with Pix, fascinated by this secret place.

She quickly lost track of time. Her life in the Glade was comfortable, natural. She and Pix played fae games together, the sorts of games that she had been told were "only pretend," and she got exceedingly good at them. It caught her by surprise when she suddenly remembered that she had left a life behind in Bandle City. The Glade had a way of making everything outside seem distant and surreal. Lulu decided to revisit her former home, to share some of the lovely things she'd learned, but when she and Pix returned the world had changed. Time, she discovered, was another property that behaved differently in the Glade, and centuries had passed while she was away. Lulu sought to reconnect to the residents of the outside world, but her attempt had unfortunate results. She led all the children off to play hide and seek, temporarily changing them into flowers and animals to spice up the game, but their parents didn't appreciate her efforts. When the yordles insisted that she leave their land, she turned to a vibrant, magic place where those with unusual gifts were not just accepted but adored: the League of Legends.
