Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior sustain and damage in extended trades, especially after level 3 when you have Q-W-E available.
- Post-6 you completely dominate 1v1s as your R makes you nearly unkillable while dealing massive damage in the confined space.
How to Trade
- Look to land E on Lulu then immediately Q-W the spirit while she's forced to either take spirit damage or walk into your Q range.
- If she polymorphs you during this combo, the spirit damage continues and you can resume trading once polymorph ends.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively early to establish lane priority and force Lulu under tower where she struggles to farm effectively.
- Maintain slow pushes to create large minion waves that amplify your R damage and make it dangerous for her to engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Lulu through the lane when your E misses as she can kite you indefinitely with W and her movement speed.
- Avoid fighting in open areas without minions as your R loses significant power without additional targets to hit.
