Abilities & tips

Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.

PPix, Faerie Companion

Pix fires magical bolts of energy whenever the champion he's following attacks another enemy unit. These bolts are homing, but can be intercepted by other units.

Use it well

Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.

QGlitterlance

Pix and Lulu each fire a bolt of magical energy that damages and heavily slows all enemies it hits.

Use it well

Use the slow to make the next action easier. It does not replace checking distance, cooldowns and an escape route.

WWhimsy

If cast on an ally, grants them Attack Speed and Move Speed for a short time. If cast on an enemy, turns them into an adorable critter that can't attack or cast spells.

Use it well

Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.

EHelp, Pix!

If cast on an ally, commands Pix to jump to an ally and shield them. He then follows them and aids their attacks. If cast on an enemy, commands Pix to jump to an enemy and damage them. He then follows them and grants you vision of that enemy.

Use it well

Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

RWild Growth

Lulu enlarges an ally, knocking nearby enemies into the air and granting the ally a large amount of bonus health. For the next few seconds, that ally gains an aura that slows nearby enemies.

Use it well

Use the slow to make the next action easier. It does not replace checking distance, cooldowns and an escape route.

Lulu combos: execution and timing

AA = basic attack · EAA = empowered attack · 1/2/3 = cast stage. Follow the order, not instant key presses.

Follow up with Glitterlance

  1. GlitterlanceQ
  2. Help, Pix!E
  3. AA

With Lulu, start with Glitterlance, then continue through Help, Pix! → Basic attack. Choose a position that lets Glitterlance work without losing your retreat. Check the next target’s range before following the sequence.

Mistake to avoid : Do not turn a safe exchange into an unsupported chase just to finish the displayed sequence.

Follow up with Help, Pix!

  1. Help, Pix!E
  2. AA
  3. GlitterlanceQ
  4. AA

With Lulu, start with Help, Pix!, then continue through Basic attack → Glitterlance → Basic attack. Choose a position that lets Glitterlance work without losing your retreat. Check the next target’s range before following the sequence.

05

Game plan by role

Lulu · Support
Early game

Stand where you can help your lane partner without exposing both of you. Coordinate the opening before spending your main control or protection.

Mid game

Set up vision with nearby allies rather than walking into unlit areas alone. Roam when your lane partner can safely handle the next wave.

Teamfights

Choose between creating an opening and protecting the teammate who can carry the fight. Do not spend every defensive spell on the first visible enemy.

Before your next fight, check: Glitterlance · Wild Growth · Combos

06

Matchup preparation

Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.

07

Practice checklist

  1. Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
  2. Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
  3. After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
