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 Wild Rift best build, items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order
ITEM BUILD
Best Wild Rift build for Lulu Support, including items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order.
STARTING ITEM
Turns the wave into gold and health for an enchanter who is not last-hitting anything herself.
BOOTS
Ability haste shortens Lulu's shield, polymorph, and Wild Growth (Ult) cooldowns. It is especially valuable, though ability power and heal-and-shield power also improve her protection and damage.
CORE BUILD
Quest income. Every point of gold turns into a bigger shield on her carry.
Her shield goes out on a short cooldown, so the attack speed and on-hit damage stay running on her carry.
She is already glued to one carry, so picking that champion means she takes their damage and heals off their output.
A cleanse she can hand her carry mid-dive, which her W (2nd) could only answer by turning the diver off instead.
Help, Pix! (3rd) can spread 30% of healing or 35% of shielding to another nearby ally. If nobody else qualifies, the original target receives the extra protection.
SITUATIONAL ITEMS
Shielding an ally gives her ability haste and ability power, which on her means more shields.
Team-wide speed on top of the move speed her buffs already grant, so a disengage takes everyone out at once.
Build this when the enemy team has a lot of attack speed dependent champions, which is what she is peeling off her carry anyway.
Build this when Lulu must help a fight outside her direct cast range. Redemption can stabilize several allies after Wild Growth (Ult) interrupts the dive, covering health bars her single-target shield cannot all reach.
RUNES
KEYSTONE
Aery follows her shield as well as her Q (1st), so it pays out on the button she presses most.
PRIMARY
Her Q (1st) and ultimate can hit enemy champions, healing her and the lowest-Health allied champion nearby when the rune is ready.
Assassins go through her to reach the carry she is shielding, and this keeps her alive long enough to spend the ultimate.
This strengthens Help, Pix!'s (3rd) shield, especially on a low-health ally. Heal-and-shield amplification does not increase Wild Growth's (Ult) bonus health because bonus health is not a heal or shield.
SECONDARY
Ability haste means more Help, Pix! (3rd) shields, Whimsy (2nd) casts, and Wild Growth (Ult) saves across a long fight.
SITUATIONAL RUNES
Take this over Revitalize when crowd control is a bigger threat than stronger heals and shields. Its tenacity shortens most disables and grants temporary defenses while immobilized. The shorter disable lets Lulu cast Whimsy (2nd) or Wild Growth (Ult) on the diver before her carry loses the fight.
Take this over Transcendence against teams that repeatedly dive the carry. More frequent Help, Pix! (3rd) and Whimsy (2nd) casts let Lulu refresh protection and answer another attacker with polymorph.
SUMMONER SPELLS
MAIN SPELLS
Flash
Must take. Her shield and her polymorph both need her in range, and Flash is how she gets there in time.
Heal
Her kit is built around keeping a carry alive through a dive, and this adds an instant answer that her shield cannot provide once it is on cooldown.
SKILL ORDER

- 13rd Ability
E - 22nd Ability

Lulu Support Wild Rift matchups and counters
Wild Rift matchup guide for Lulu Support, covering favorable lanes and difficult counters to prepare for in ranked, plus the duo partners that pair best with this pick.
Good Matchups
These champions are favorable matchups for this pick in Wild Rift. You have advantages against them and can play more aggressively.
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 Counters
These champions counter this pick in Wild Rift and can be difficult matchups. Learn how to play against them or consider banning them.
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.
Synergies
The Dragon lane is a 2v2, so the carry you queue with matters as much as the matchup. These carries make the most of what this support provides.
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.
