How do I build Lulu

Catastrop·Sep 22, 2015·2 votes·755 views

I recently started playing this champion and one thing I've noticed, you can literally build anything on her. Like once I get to this stage / I have no idea what to go into. I usually just build what seems right at the moment and so far my builds have varied from: This one looks like this because we had no magic damage so I tried to fill for that, it kind of worked out actually. Honestly had no idea what I was doing here. This one was kind of experimental, I noticed that her HP pool is really what brings her down. Like she can kite well and potentially kill someone in sustained fights, but 1800 HP at level 18 is only going to do so much. Something else to note, I didn't get to finish the builds most of the time because the game usually ended, but this is generally what I had in mind for each situation as an endgame. Also, the way they are listed aren't necessarily the order I built them. So yeah, aside from these abominations. Some tips on how to build her would be really great.

can we get some love for item 3504

this item is op as fk on any support with a shield or heal

however lulu's shield isn't always used for a shield and has a fairly long cooldown so often times it isn't the best idea to get it for her.

No problem. In my opinion, I think you should be building LuLu into a more utility type support but start the early game aggressively and pokey. She is really great at early game poking and helping her ADC get fed early. I say this based on my play style, and it is up to you on how you want to play your supports. ^_^

As mid lane lulu you want straight ap items Sorcers shoes, athenes , ludens, death cap, void, etc . Hp isn't a problem bc your ult and sheilds are really good

As support mobility a boots are good and a sight stone with a frost queens is fine. After that build either zekes,locket, mikaels, or frozen depending on their team, don't build hp or straight ap bc if they focus you then you will win the fight

I've actually got AP Lulu fairly covered from what you've said, so not much to worry about there. As Support Lulu though, I want to make item 1326 item 2045 item 3092 item 3050 core on her. The last two items I might probably get item 3110 item 3190 . I'd like to know how good an item item 3060 is for her. I'd like to get this item for those times my ADC is backing or we're seiging. The active is really good in situations like that because she can push the wave quite well by herself so that upgraded Canon minion can put some pressure while my ADC comes back, or to just suck up some turret shots while we take it. Aside from that though, thanks for the information.

If you go to some Champion build websites such as Mobafire.com or LOLking.com, you can get some very in-depth guides on how to build her as any role... ADC, Support, Mid, and Top.

Also as a personal note, I do not build my Frostfang item 3098 into a Frost Queen's item 3092 ... Instead, I sell the Frostfang in the mid game (after about lvl 9 - 11ish). I instead build a Crystal Scepter because all of my offensive abilities will pick up a slow.

Here is a link to a post I made a few days ago about supports. I think LuLu would fit into multiple categories of a support (depending on how she is built).

I did, but a lot of them were either lacking in explanations or kind of out of date. Like the best one on Lolking barely has any information for why take x over y. Or barely gives info on her counters. Oh thanks.

A lot of times you need to learn yourself on why some items should be built or not. I always judge my builds off of what my team needs. If we have no tank, I may build more tanky so that I do not die as fast. If they need Magic resist from a fed enemy midlaner, then I will build item 3190 . . . I suggest going into a custom game, and taking 20-30 minutes just reading the items so that you are aware on what each one does. From here, you can practice the useage of the item(s). Hope my mini guide helps you a little though.

I know that, it's...sometimes I like to have some clarification that I'm actually doing this right.

But anyway, your guide was quite helpful. Thank you for linking it ^.^
