Lulu Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)

Top

When Lulu Top gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Lulu wins most.

Lv 3
All three basic abilities at level 3
Lulu's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
Lv 6
Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Lulu hits it.
Lv 11
Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Lulu can start or win.
Lv 16
Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Lulu can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Lulu Mid and Late Game

What Lulu does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

Lulu out-wards most champions (percentile 97): keep owning vision around the next objective.
Lulu wins 26.0 points more in short games than long ones: group, take objectives and end before the enemy scales.

Mistakes to avoid

Lulu is not a damage carry (1/100): don't take fights expecting Lulu to win them alone.
Lulu falls behind in CS (5/100): last-hit the waves you can, items still matter.
Lulu mitigates little damage (6/100): one bad position ends the fight, so stay behind your frontline.

Playing Lulu

Glitterlance can be fired at odd angles depending on where your cursor is - Moving your cursor closer to Pix and Lulu will change your area of effect size considerably.
Consider casting Help, Pix! on ranged attackers for the Pix boost and Wild Growth on Tanks or Fighters for the added initiation power.

Playing Against Lulu

The shots from Lulu's faerie can be intercepted - hide behind your minions to avoid the additional Faerie attacks.
Lulu excels when opponents heavily commit. Don't give her this chance! Use heavy harass tactics instead to force Lulu and her partner out of lane.
