Lulu Support Wild Rift Guide

Lulu support counters include Alistar, Leona, and Nautilus. See the best build, runes, matchups, and game plan for Wild Rift Patch 7.3.

How to play

  • Stay close to your main damage dealer Use your 3rd ability on your damage dealer to shield them just before damage lands, and stay close enough to keep helping.
  • Save polymorph for an enemy diver Cast your 2nd ability on an enemy to briefly stop them attacking or casting spells. Save it for someone who jumps onto your teammate.
  • Use your ultimate as enemies commit The extra health and knockup can turn an enemy dive into a fight your team wins.

Strengths

  • Top-tier carry peel: polymorph disables one champion while Wild Growth (Ult) adds health, an area knockup, and a slowing aura; it does not pull the ally anywhere.
  • Glitterlance (1st) provides lane poke and a heavy decaying slow, while ally-cast Whimsy (2nd) separately grants attack and movement speed.
  • Makes a fed carry nearly unkillable by stacking shield, attack speed, and a bonus-health ultimate onto one target.

Weaknesses

  • Her shield and polymorph are single-target, so layered threats can force her to split cooldowns even though Wild Growth (Ult) disrupts an area.
  • Immobile and fragile with no escape, making her an easy mark for hooks and dives when she steps up to poke.
  • Her peel is mostly reactive, so if the enemy kills her first, the carry she protects is suddenly alone.

Lulu Support Counters

Who counters Lulu Support in Wild Rift (WR)? These champions beat Lulu in the support matchup, with how each one wins. Learn to play around them or ban them in ranked.

  • Alistar: His combo chains past your single polymorph, and once he ults he shrugs off the crowd control your peel relies on, so one save cannot answer his whole engage.
  • Leona: Zenith Blade (3rd) reaches through Lulu's short poke range, Shield of Daybreak (1st) adds a second disable, and Solar Flare (Ult) can begin the chain before Whimsy (2nd) reaches the diver. Polymorph the enemy carry rather than the already-committed tank, save Wild Growth (Ult) for the first focused target, and avoid trading forward while Leona holds the full engage.
  • Nautilus: Hook, knockup, and a root that triggers off his autos give him more engage tools than you have saves, and each one lands on a champion with no way to dodge.
  • Thresh: Thresh layers Death Sentence's (1st) stun and pull, Flay's (3rd) displacement, and The Box's (Ult) heavy slow. Whimsy (2nd) can disable one champion, while Dark Passage (2nd) can shield and extract his ally after polymorph ends, so Lulu must avoid being the hook target herself.

Champions Lulu Is Strong Against

Lulu's best matchups in Wild Rift. Lulu holds an edge against these picks in the support role, so look to press the advantage and contest objectives.

  • Yuumi: Attached Yuumi contributes a guided projectile, Zoomies (3rd)' shield and attack speed, passive healing, and Final Chapter's (Ult) heals and stacking slow; not only chip and a shield. Lulu can still pressure detach windows and save polymorph for the host's committed engage.
  • Janna: Lulu can add Pix damage and Whimsy (2nd) attack speed to short trades, but Janna's tornado knockup and Monsoon (Ult) knockback are hard disengage, not soft peel. Avoid fighting through both cooldowns and use polymorph on the carry Janna is trying to enable.
  • Milio: Polymorphing Milio himself prevents him from casting Breath of Life (Ult) during that disable, but he can cleanse crowd control from allies when free to act. Force the ultimate first or control Milio directly before committing to his carry.
  • Morgana: Help, Pix! (3rd) can absorb part of Dark Binding's (1st) magic damage but does not prevent or cleanse its root. Whimsy (2nd) can limit Morgana's follow-up only if Black Shield (3rd) is absent, because the magic shield can block polymorph while it holds.
  • Pyke: Place Whimsy's (2nd) faerie ring on the ally Pyke wants to reach so it polymorphs him as he enters, but do not assume it cancels a dash already in motion or removes Death From Below's (Ult) execute. Shields and Wild Growth (Ult) bonus health can keep an ally above the execute threshold before it lands.

Lulu Support Synergies

The best duo partners for Lulu in the Wild Rift support role. The Dragon lane is a 2v2, so queue with one of these picks to make the lane and the mid game much easier.

  • Jinx: The canonical Lulu pairing: shield and speed her through lane, break the dive with Wild Growth (Ult), and watch a fed Jinx chain resets across the map.
  • Kog'Maw: Protect-the-Kog is your job description: Whimsy (2nd) his kiting, shield the burst, and Wild Growth (Ult) him mid-fight so the shredder outlives the dive.
  • Yunara: She scales exactly the way your kit protects: shields through the weak phase, Whimsy (2nd) for spacing, and a knockup that saves the hyper-carry the enemy must dive.

Early Game

Use Help, Pix! (3rd) deliberately to change Glitterlance's (1st) origin: shielding an advanced ally moves Pix to them, allowing the two bolts to cross different angles. Enemy-casting E (3rd) instead reveals the target for four seconds and positions Pix behind them for the second Q (1st) line, but gives up the shield. Whimsy (2nd) can be quick-cast on an ally for speed or planted as a ring to catch the first entering champion. Ward before stepping up because Lulu has no dash.

Mid Game

Mid game, use ally-cast Whimsy's (2nd) movement speed; not Help, Pix! (3rd); to rotate or reposition. At objectives, place the faerie ring where a diver must enter, shield the carry through poke, and hold Wild Growth (Ult) for the committed engage. Remember that the ring prioritizes an enemy champion if both teams enter it, which can turn a choke into reliable polymorph rather than accidentally spending the buff on an ally.

Late Game

Late game, stick to whichever carry the enemy wants dead most and shield them through poke. Wild Growth (Ult) is strongest as divers enter its knockup radius, before all of their damage lands. It grants bonus health rather than healing, so Grievous Wounds does not reduce that health gain, and the enlarged ally keeps a slowing aura for seven seconds. Hold polymorph for the threat that remains after the knockup.

Teamfights

Pre-shield the carry so Pix also fires with their attacks, then choose Whimsy's (2nd) mode: ally-cast it for attack and movement speed when safe, or plant/target it on the diver for polymorph. Cast Wild Growth (Ult) as enemies enter the ally's knockup radius, gaining both bonus health and interruption before its lingering slow helps kite. Lulu can use all three protective tools in one fight; the challenge is assigning each cooldown to the right target.
