Power spike & playstyle

Spikes at 6 with Wild Growth peel; a strong laning enchanter from level 1 who shields/polys to protect a carry and uses ult to save or engage.

Glitterlance is a long double-slow with a real ratio, Whimsy is a polymorph that removes a champion from the fight, and Pix makes her trades free.

Into melee assassins. Polymorph is the single best answer in the mode to a champion whose whole plan is jumping on you.
As a damage carry. Her ratios are support ratios — she wins the lane on utility and then contributes less than the mid laner she beat.
Not modelled in this number: Frenzy (10% AS for 2s after a crit — not static), Summoner's Insight, Meditation, Mastermind.

Guide

How to play Lulu in League Classic

Lulu wins fights by making the enemy's damage math wrong. Poke with Q-glitter in lane — her harass is nastier than her reputation — and hold W strictly for their assassin's entrance. Wild Growth is your flagship play: cast it on your diving bruiser for the knock-up engage, or on your carry as an anti-burst second health bar. Shield the focused target, polymorph the diver, speed the flanker. Nothing about Lulu is flashy in Classic, and nothing about a fed enemy team survives her kit used correctly.
