Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win most trades with rocket form range advantage and Lulu's poke support.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage through superior scaling and Lulu's R protection against Thresh engages.
Synergy & Trading
- Use rocket form to poke safely while Lulu provides W speed boost for repositioning and E for additional poke.
- Switch to minigun only when Thresh misses Q and you can commit to extended trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves aggressively early to deny Smolder stacks and create recall timings that favor your scaling.
- Maintain pressure to prevent Thresh from roaming freely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught by Thresh Q when stepping up for CS without Lulu's W available.
- Avoid overextending in minigun form as you lose your range advantage and become vulnerable to all-ins.
