Lulu combos

the Fae Sorceress

3 Lulu combos explained key by key: in which order to cast the abilities, when to use them and what each step does. The main combo is Q › E › AA. Further down: every ability's cooldown, cost and range, and the skill max order measured over ranked games.

Lulu combos

Harassment

Q › E › AA AA

When: An enemy is within Glitterlance range.

Glitterlance fires two projectiles that damage and slow. Help, Pix! on the enemy hurts them and gives you vision of them, then your attacks trigger Pix's shots.

Protecting the carry

W › E › R

When: An enemy dives your carry.

Whimsy on the aggressor stops them from attacking and casting spells; on your ally, it raises their movement and attack speed. Wild Growth knocks up nearby enemies and gives the ally health.

The team engage

W › Q › R

When: Your team engages.

Slow with Glitterlance, neutralize the main threat with Whimsy, then grow your tank or carry with the ultimate: it then slows nearby enemies with its aura.

Common mistakes

• Using Whimsy on the wrong champion: its cooldown is long.
• Casting the ultimate without remembering it knocks up nearby enemies: time it to interrupt their dive.
• Neglecting Pix: his shots depend on the attacks of the ally he follows.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.

Official ability descriptions

PassivePix, Faerie Companion

Pix fires magical bolts of energy whenever the champion he's following attacks another enemy unit. These bolts are homing, but can be intercepted by other units.

QGlitterlance

Pix and Lulu each fire a bolt of magical energy that damages and heavily slows all enemies it hits.

WWhimsy

If cast on an ally, grants them Attack Speed and Move Speed for a short time. If cast on an enemy, turns them into an adorable critter that can't attack or cast spells.

EHelp, Pix!

If cast on an ally, commands Pix to jump to an ally and shield them. He then follows them and aids their attacks. If cast on an enemy, commands Pix to jump to an enemy and damage them. He then follows them and grants you vision of that enemy.

RWild Growth

Lulu enlarges an ally, knocking nearby enemies into the air and granting the ally a large amount of bonus health. For the next few seconds, that ally gains an aura that slows nearby enemies.

Riot's official tips for 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.

How to play around Lulu's combos

• 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.
