Why High-Elo Players Smurf with Lulu
Low elo players do not respect the 'Poly-Lock'. They rush in with champions like Katarina or Yi, expecting to reset, only to be turned into a squirrel instantly. A smurf holds Polymorph exclusively for these key engage moments, denying the enemy's entire game plan. Furthermore, they underestimate the bait potential of Wild Growth (R); a smurf lets their ADC get dangerously low to bait the enemy team in, then presses R to knock everyone up and heal the carry, turning the fight instantly.
The Level 1 Cheese
First Blood Strategy
The 'Pix' Trade. Start E (Help, Pix!). At Level 1, your auto-attacks hurt significantly more than other supports because of Pix's passive bolts. Walk up, E the enemy ADC (dealing damage and guaranteeing Pix hits), and Auto-Attack. They cannot out-trade the shield + damage combo. Repeat this until they are zoned off the wave.
The 'Pay-to-Win' Skin Advantage
'Pool Party Lulu' is the classic smurf skin—the 'squid' polymorph is iconic. 'Pajama Guardian Lulu' is a high-tier 'cute' choice. 'Space Groove Lulu' offers amazing modern effects. Avoid 'Bittersweet Lulu' as it's notoriously 'creepy' for some players.
When They Ban Lulu
Backup Pick: If Lulu is banned,
Janna offers a similar 'protect-the-carry' utility.
Yuumi for a more passive-aggressive attachment style.
Nami for more CC and lane pressure.
Rune Setup
Best Runes: Summon Aery is the best choice for both shielding and poke. Guardian is an alternative if facing heavy kill-lanes. Secondary Inspiration with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight to reach your core items faster.
Skill Priority
Order:
E → W → QMax E first—it's your primary shield and trading tool. Max W second for the lower cooldown and longer duration on Polymorph. Max Q last as the slow is sufficient with one point.
Mastering Lulu's Kit
Glitterlance. Lulu and Pix each fire a bolt that deals magic damage and slows enemies hit. Use this to catch fleeing targets or poke from range.
Whimsy. Cast on Ally: Grants movement and attack speed. Cast on Enemy: Turns them into a harmless creature, silencing and disarming them. This is your core defensive tool.
Help, Pix!. Cast on Ally: Shields them and attaches Pix to them. Cast on Enemy: Deals magic damage and attaches Pix to them, granting vision of the target.
Wild Growth. Lulu enlarges an ally, knocking up nearby enemies and granting the ally a massive amount of bonus health and a slow aura. Use this to save a life or follow up an engage.
Matchup Tips
Easy Matchup. The moment he ults your carry, wait for him to appear, then Polymorph him instantly. He will be unable to use his combo and will die before the CC ends.
Skill Matchup. You can shield his burst and Polymorph his engage, but if he pulls you, you're in trouble. Save your R for whoever he tries to execute.
Hard Matchup. She can out-range you and her root is dangerous. You have to play safely and save your E for her poke, or your R for whoever she catches in a bind.
The Ego Check
WARNING: Stop spamming W for movement speed! Whimsy (W) is your most powerful tool. Using it to run back to lane slightly faster is a waste. Save it for Polymorphing the inevitable Zed or
Master Yi dive. Unless your ADC is chasing the final kill of a Pentakill, keep Polymorph ready for defense. Also, don't overlap your CC; wait for the enemy to land from your R knockup before Polymorphing them.
When to Queue Dodge
Dodge if facing heavy 'siege' or 'artillery' comps with Xerath or Vel'Koz if your team has no way to engage. They can out-range your shields. Also dodge into Soraka who can out-sustain your poke.
Teamfight Role
In teamfights, your only job is the carry. Stick to them like glue. Use your E to shield them, your W to Polymorph whoever dives them, and your R to save them from death and provide follow-up CC. If your carry is safe, use your Q to slow enemies and help with the chase.
The 'Disrespect' Build
Full AP 'Machine-Gun' Lulu. Nashor's Tooth -> Wit's End -> Kraken Slayer. With this build and Pix's passive, your auto-attacks deal massive magic damage. It's hilarious to see a 'support' Lulu shred through tanks and towers. High-risk, maximum BM.
Power Windows
Level 1-4 is your strongest lane dominance window. Level 6 is your primary life-saving spike. Your biggest item spike is reaching Ardent Censer, which makes your ADC a machine-gun of destruction.
Tilt Factor
Spam the 'laugh' emote—it's one of the most annoying sounds in the game. Type 'That tasted purple!' in all-chat after a successful kill. The sight of a giant enemy Zed being turned into a squirrel and dying is purely tilting.
