Playing as Lulu
Tips to maximize your impact
- Cast E on your carry first
Cast Help, Pix! (E) on your carry before they trade: they get a shield, and Pix fires along with each of their autos.
- Pix on the enemy, then your Q
Send Pix onto an enemy with Help, Pix! (E), then cast Glitterlance (Q): Pix also fires one from where he is, right on the target.
- Polymorph the diving assassin
Save Whimsy (W) for the assassin diving your carry: turned into a critter, they can't attack or cast spells.
- Grow the ally being focused
Cast Wild Growth (R) on the ally being focused or going all-in: they gain a lot of health, and nearby enemies are knocked into the air, then slowed.
Playing against LeBlanc
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Break her chain
As soon as Ethereal Chains (E) tethers you, move away from her: if you stay chained for 1.5 seconds, you're rooted and take extra damage.
- Trade after her Distortion
Trade while Distortion (W) is on cooldown: it's her dash both to get in and to get out, and it comes back in 15 to 10 seconds.
- Save your protection for her burst
If you have a shield or a heal, save it for her combo: Sigil of Malice (Q) detonates as soon as another spell hits you, and all her damage lands at once.
- Aim at her return point
If you have CC, aim at the starting point of her Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, she can return there by recasting the spell.
- Don't hit the wrong LeBlanc
When she drops below 40% health, find the real LeBlanc before hitting: Mirror Image (passive) makes her invisible for 1 second and leaves a copy that deals no damage.
