§ 07b — Advanced MechanicsLulu: combos & tips Wild Rift

Poke combo
1 W W
2 Q Q
3 AA

Polymorph the enemy, Q to slow, auto-attacks whilst they’re immobilised.

Defensive/peel combo
1 E E
2 W W
3 R R

Shield an ally, speed boost, then R to knock up surrounding enemies + bonus HP.

Support engage combo
1 W W
2 Q Q
3 Flash Flash
4 R R

Polymorph, Q, Flash to engage, R for a defensive knock-up.

Save ally combo
1 R R
2 E E
3 W W

Knock up enemies around the ally, E to shield, W to finish them off.

Mechanical Tips

  • Whimsy (W): two uses — on an enemy = polymorph (disarms and slows); on an ally = attack speed and movement speed bonus. Decide quickly depending on the situation.
  • Help, Pix! (E): two uses — on an ally = shield + Pix follows the ally and attacks enemies hit; on an enemy = Pix follows the enemy and reveals their position + deals damage.
  • Wild Growth (R): on an ally = AoE knock-up of surrounding enemies + temporary HP bonus. Use on the engaged carry to nullify the enemy’s burst damage.
  • Glitterlance (Q): Lulu and Pix each fire a projectile — double coverage. Always use after E to maximise Pix’s hits.
  • Pix (passive): 3 enchanted attacks on proc. Proc via Q, E and certain auto-attacks.

Common Mistakes

  • Using W on an ally when an enemy actually needs to be Polymorphed (an assassin about to engage).
  • Casting R on an ally far away from all enemies — a knock-up into thin air, completely pointless.
  • Not using E on enemies for vision — useful for tracking stealthy assassins.

Notable Interactions

  • R can interrupt enemy dashes if timed correctly during their engage.
  • Using E on a stealthed enemy champion reveals their position.
  • Lulu + Kog'Maw/Jinx/Vayne = hypercarry enabler — one of the best ADC/Support duos.
