Starter Guide: Peel Utility Lulu (Support) Support

Peel Utility Lulu keeps a carry alive through things that should have killed them: Help, Pix! (E) shields, a Whimsy (W) polymorph on whoever jumped, and Wild Growth (R) when it gets serious.

Lulu has an answer for most things that go wrong. Pix, Faerie Companion rides along on her auto-attacks. Whimsy (W) either speeds an ally up or turns an enemy assassin into a harmless critter for 2.5 seconds, which is usually their whole engage. Wild Growth (R) makes an ally enormous, hands them bonus HP and knocks up everyone around them.

• Starting Items: Faerie Charm, 3 Sight Wards, and Health Potions.
• Core Build Rush: Boots of Mobility (high speed roaming to support top/mid lanes), Ruby Sightstone (vision control to track enemy gank paths), Philosopher's Stone (passive GP10 income and sustain), and Shurelya's Reverie (Shurelya's 40% movement speed active combined with Whimsy W speed boost lets Lulu's team initiate or disengage at will).
• Situational Options: Mikael's Crucible (cleanses allied CC while Whimsy polymorphs diving enemy assassins for 2.5 seconds), Locket of the Iron Solari, Twin Shadows, and Runic Bulwark.

• Flash and Exhaust.
• Max Q (Glitterlance) or E (Help, Pix!) first depending on lane priority (Q for 80% slow poke, E for targeted shield/damage). Max W (Whimsy) second for Polymorph duration.

Combos worth drilling

• Polymorph Shutdown: Point-and-click W (Whimsy) on diving enemy assassins to turn them into harmless critters for 2.5 seconds.
• Giant Tank Knockup: Cast R (Wild Growth) on your diving initiator to grant bonus HP and knock up surrounding enemies.

Mistakes to avoid

• Don't waste W Whimsy for speed when assassin is near: Save W for Polymorph CC against diving targets.
• Don't miss double-angle Q Glitterlance: E Help Pix! on a minion or enemy, then shoot Q from Pix's location.

• Early Game (Levels 1-5): Poke enemy bot laners with E (Help, Pix!) on a minion, followed by a double-angle Glitterlance (Q) slow. Shield your ADC during trades.
• Mid Game (Levels 6-11): Save Whimsy (W) to Polymorph diving enemy assassins (Zed, Akali, Kha'Zix). Cast Wild Growth (R) on your tank when they jump into 3+ enemies for maximum knockup duration.
• Late Game (Levels 12+): Stay glued to your hypercarry ADC. Use Glitterlance slows, Whimsy Polymorph, and Wild Growth bonus HP to render your ADC completely un-killable.
