One ability that is often forgotten as it does not require any points, but should be taken into account, is “Pix, Fairy Companion” (P). This gives Lulu extra damage on her normal attacks through the help of her fairy “Pix” – and this is by no means negligible, especially early in the game. Note, however, that this damage is blocked by minions, but also provides further benefits with her other abilities – more on that in a moment. Lulu’s “Glitter Lance” (Q) is also a rather inconspicuous ability, but it is very useful on its own, which is why you invest the very first point in it and this remains the only point in it in most games. The usefulness comes from the fact that it not only deals good damage, but also slows you down a lot, which gives you an opening to bombard your opponent with many of the boosted, normal attacks. This is also where the first interaction with her “Pix, Fairy Companion” (P) comes into play, as her “Glitter Lance”(Q) shoots two projectiles – one from Lulu and one from Pix, which increases the effective area. But what good that does when Lulu is sitting on it anyway – well, that will take some patience.

Lulu’s “Help, Pix!” (E) is her key ability, which is why more than one point is invested in this early on. “Help, Pix!” (E) has two modes – it either asks Pix to give a shield to a teammate or to deal damage to an enemy. In both cases, Pix will hang around the respective target for a certain amount of time, from where she can also fire “Glitter Lance” (Q) to slow down enemies in the vicinity. Since Pix is no longer with Lulu, you won’t do any extra damage with normal attacks, but these are not always lost; if you have given a shield to another player, they will benefit from this bonus for the time being.

And now finally to the ability that often causes inconvenience for opponents: “Whim” (W). This also has two modes, depending on whether you cast it on a friend or an enemy. Players get additional movement speed and attack speed for some time, while enemies are turned into a muffin, squirrel or other harmless (depending on the skin) and are prevented from attacking with abilities or normal attacks, and from merely hopping around at a snail’s pace.

Finally, of course, there is her “Wild Growth” (R), which increases the size of an ally, gives extra health points, throws all enemies into the air and slows them down until the end of the ability’s duration as long as they are in the immediate vicinity.
