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 Rakan
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread out from your allies
Spread out from your allies when he casts The Quickness (R): he charms every enemy he touches while running.
