Playing as Lulu

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Polymorph the diving assassin

    Save Whimsy (W) for the assassin diving your carry: turned into a critter, they can't attack or cast spells.

  4. 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 Rakan

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Gleaming Quill (Q) strikes the first enemy in its path, and if it hits a champion, Rakan heals his team.

  2. Keep your distance

    Keep your distance when his ADC steps up: Grand Entrance (W) lets him leap onto you, and enemies around his landing spot take a knock-up.

  3. Save your CC for his arrival

    If you have CC, save it for when he lands in the middle of your team: only Battle Dance (E) then lets him leave toward an ally.

  4. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when he casts The Quickness (R): he charms every enemy he touches while running.
