Who? What? Where? Why? When? (Intro)

Who am I?
-Hello my IGN is Jeyfeix and I main Lulu
-She's very fun to play with with the baits and kites
-She can cover all five roles but I like playing Mid or support
-I made a guide to help and share some of my skills
-Hope I help you and enjoy thanks C:
-Please give a feedback after you've read the full guide
-Always remember to help and share your blessings ^^
-Lulu will help you kill jerky champions who abuse/bully you or your adc (Nocturne for example)
-So give Lulu a shot and play!

What is your:
- Rank/Division? - Diamond 5 Currently ATM
- Playstyle? - Support or Mid
- Win Rate for Lulu? - Not Gonna Tell C:

Where do you:
- Play? - At Home, PH Server
- Lane Most? - Botlane as a Support

Why do you:
- Main Lulu? - because it matches my play style "Fun, Baiting, Supporting while carrying, matches a champion who is unique, and can do all five roles
- Play Support Often, its boring? - I believe that I have the mindset to play as support since I cant carry my teammates hardly
- Craft this guide if you're maining suppport Lulu? - Who told you that mid lulu cant support? xD

When:
- Is it best to pick AP Lulu? - When there is a CC'ful tank and a hypercarry who you trust
- Did you start playing? - Before Lulu was Released
- To Act aggresively? - When you can handle the enemy jungler and mid lane at the same time
- To be confident - When your teammates trust you that you'll carry and protect them

Advantage / Disadvantages

Pros
- Annoying / Strong Poke
- Strong Kiting / Micro capability
- Has a 2-way use of her skill
- Alot of CC
- Makes hypercarries' killing potential doubled
- She's cute
- Strong Minion-clearing capability
- Easy to escape ganks

Cons
- Low-Powered All-ins
- Hard to Carry on her own (Teammate-reliant)
- Low mana base pool
- Weak at Early Game
- Low movement spd (325)
- CC dumpsters her
- Cant dash over walls except flash

Masteries (IMO)

Ferocity Chart

- - You wont be needing attspd

- - A little sustain (You can get DE-Sword if you want)

- - A Little AP / AD boost its cool.

- - Since Lulu deals alot of CC

Cunning Chart

- - Since you need to farm more than to roam

- - This will give you a nice boost for sustain from the potions

- - Lulu is hungry for Purple and Mana

- - Can save you from ignite after having a tough skirmish

- - CDR is the best thing to buff Lulu.

- - This will make your all-ins more powerful (E >> Basic Attack >> Sheen >> Q)

Alternatives

*You can go 18/12 if you want

*You can Take if you want to
*You can build masteries from Resolve if you want but I personally don't like it

BEST Runes (IMO)

Runes

Precision

Lethal Tempo

Fleet Footwork

Dark Harvest

Phase Rush

9x Flat Magic Pen (Mark)
- For Denial of magic resist early game

9x Flat Armor (Seal)
- For lower damage intake from basic attacks and AD mid Champions

6x CDR Flat and 3x Scaling CDR (Glyphs)
- For Lulu to reach the max CDR which is essential

- 5% - Intelligence Mastery
- 5% - Flat CDR Glyphs
- 20% - Morellonomicon
- 10% - Lich Bane
- 5% - Scaling CDR Glyphs

= 45% Max Cooldown Reduction at Level 18

3x Quintessences of Ability Power
- Since there are no other better runes than this one IMO for Lulu
- You can swap it for mspd, magic pen or Scaling ability quintessences if youd like

Summoner Spells (When, Why, and What to pick)

(Any role) Will be NEEDED on lulu since she doesn't have skills to go over walls helps your abilities as well

(Any role) This will help Lulu to increase her kill potential get it if you want a kill-pressured lane

(Except Support) If you want to bait and prioritize defense take this, It is a reverse alternative to ignite

(Top)(Mid) Grab this when you lane Top and need to control more map pressure

(Mid)(Support) Its not bad to take it... but other spells are better to grab IMO

(Jungler) This is definitely a necessity on lulu when you jungle.. I hate u when you still lane and get smite.

(All roles) Same as heal, there are other spells that are better to grab

(All roles) Hmm not bad, it helps you deny the CCs from protecting and healing

(Support)(Mid) If you see hard all-ins coming this might be handy but I never took it on mid lane

Abilities

Pix, The Wild Faerie Companion

Pix is a wild Faerie that accompanies Lulu. Pix will fire a barrage of magical energy at targets that Lulu attacks.

Your passive makes your basic attacks NOT worthless for an AP Caster Champion. This is your mini Nashor's tooth. Blinds cannot disable this.

Glitterlance

Pix and Lulu each fire a bolt of magical energy that heavily slows all enemies it hits. An enemy can only be damaged by one bolt.
Lulu and Pix each fire a piercing bolt dealing 80/125/170/215/260 (+50% Ability Power) magic damage, slowing enemies hit by 80% for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 second(s). This slow decays over time.An enemy can only be damaged by one bolt.
- This is your main damaging skill.. It has a great pushing capability, poke, and a slow.. This will keep enemies away from reaching you and will force them to back away if they take alot of damage from it.

Whimsy

If cast on an ally, grants them Movement Speed for a short time. If cast on an enemy, turns them into an adorable critter that can't attack or cast spells.
On Ally Cast: Target ally gains 30 (+5% Ability Power)% Movement Speed for 3/3.25/3.5/3.75/4 seconds.
On Enemy Cast: Polymorphs an enemy champion for 1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25 seconds, disabling their ability to attack or cast spells and reducing their base Movement Speed by 60.

- This is your main mobility and CC skill as it polymorphs and speeds you up.. Use this on teammates who has a chasing CC capability (examples are: Maokai, Alistar, Ekko)

Help, Pix

If cast on an ally, commands Pix to jump to an ally and shield them. He then follows them and aids their attacks. If cast on an enemy, commands Pix to jump to an enemy and damage them. He then follows them and grants you vision of that enemy.
On Ally Cast: Commands Pix to jump to an ally and then follow and aid their attacks instead of Lulu's for 6 seconds. If the ally is a champion, Pix shields them from 80/120/160/200/240 (+60% Ability Power) damage for 6 seconds.
On Enemy Cast: Pix deals 80/110/140/170/200 (+40% Ability Power) magic damage to target enemy unit. Pix then follows and grants vision of them for 4 seconds.

- This is your main shielding and vision skill, it catches of escaping enemies with a dash or invisible skill in their kit by following up Q while pix is on them.

Wild Growth

Lulu enlarges an ally, knocking nearby enemies into the air and granting the ally a large amount of bonus health. For the next few seconds, that ally gains an aura that slows nearby enemies.
Lulu enlarges her ally, knocking nearby enemies into the air. For 7 seconds, her ally gains 300/450/600 (+50% Ability Power) bonus health and slows nearby enemies by 30/45/60%.

- This is your main baiting skill, it gives u a pack of HP, knock and slows to chase everyone who engages in a melee range. Use this to rescue teammates or use it on a tank for its passive. Giving the Size buff on the tank makes them catch the skillshots more often and an easy way to catch with the Growth's slow.

Skill Sequence

(Mid/Top/Jungler/Offensive Supp)

ALWAYS TAKE A POINT OF YOUR ULT- Your main baiting Skill

Q First

Combos

-If you really want to main Lulu.. You need to learn how to use the Self-Skilling (Alt + Skill)

Items (Alternatives and Core)

*You definitely want doran's ring for your Starting items, hence if you know that you are losing your lane you can go back and buy spellthief's edge for the gold passive and sell it when you're playing good and winning the game.

1.
-Lulu needs to catch off enemies with her skill this might be a great choice to counter their slows and their skillshots
-You can exchange it for Sorcerer's Shoes

2.
-This is definitely a need for lulu since she lacks all-ins.
-Also this procs even when you buff yourself.
-The passive stats gives Lulu a nice boost too
-The proc-aura on your arm is PURPLE

3.
- The Unique-Passive makes lulu's poke more ouch-y
- The Cooldown isnt that long too plus it makes your execution to the enemies easier
- I also recommend you to don't buy the Active Hextech items early

4.
- Lulu needs mana, cooldown, and a nice boost of ability power at the game to stay in the lane easier so I dont need to explain this item too

5.
- Alot boost of AP wont hurt you, would it?

6. Ludens Echo
- You needs its passive aswell as its movement speed for more capability to chase and dodge skillshots

7.
- This will help you slow down enemies in a burst plus its like winter wonder Lulu glitterlances.. This can make your enemy confused if you have casted glitterlance yet.

8.You can go for if you want to play more defensively
you can either exchange Luden's or GLP-800 For it.

9.You can go for if your enemies builds magic resist .You can either exchange Luden's or GLP-800 For it.

10.You can go for if you want to kite more and if you lane against an AD (for example Zed, Yasuo, and Talon). You can either exchange Luden's or GLP-800 For it.

11.You can go for if you sense that the enemy team focuses on you, it also gives you a boost for your defenses. You can either exchange Luden's or GLP-800 For it.

12.I don't like on Lulu but if you're laning against an AP counter to Lulu this is a great ideal item to take. You can either exchange Luden's or GLP-800 For it.

13. - If you need an instant gapclose and a slight amount of CDR this would help you out

14. - I love this item as it helps you push and farm alot, also a great buff to your pix and kiting kit.

15. - This is the best defense item in mid lane as it nullifies a skill, your advantage is that you can damage first your enemy before he damages you even if he hits you first.

16. - If you like the Revolvers passive and a little bit more of sustain grab these

17. - Mpen and DoT kinda good... But you focus on their carries first. Treat this like a defensive void staff. I dont recommend you to buy it but its okay.

18. - Feel like your team is going ham? and has alot of advantages? Supporting or killing gives you more AP? Grab this thing up.

19. - Its a good choice but I wanted it A LOT MORE before it was reworked. This is one of my item I use for support now tho.

Creeping / Jungling

■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢
Bluebuff

Watch out for your jungler if he wants to give you the Crest of insights or ask for it.. Its a mini Athene's Unholy Grail before it was reworked.. AP, CDR, Mana regen would give you a nice boost

■╢■╢■╢

■╢■╢■╢

Checking Bushes

If you want to check bushes, Glitterlance might come in handy. Glitterlance has a sound effect whenever it hits a champion, a creep, or a monster. In this case checking Dragon is easy. Dragon is either dragged or gone. Ward before you check.

■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢

■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢■╢

Soloing Large Monsters

Make sure your glitterlance hit the smaller monsters and the Large one at the same time to maximize your damage.. you might want to get back to the lane with alot of hp. Kite the Large monsters in the jungle and whenever they're going to hit you ALT+E and move into a safe place again to minimize/nullify their damage

■╢■╢■╢

■╢■╢■╢

Lane Farming and Pushing
This is how I maximize damage to farm creeps and push.. I also use this whenever a champion gets in the middle. So try to hit the champions + the creeps with your Q to maximize its usage.
