Guide to Synergizing Lulu and Irelia

Tips for Playing as Lulu with Irelia

Glitterlance can be fired at odd angles depending on where your cursor is - Moving your cursor closer to Pix and Lulu will change your area of effect size considerably.

Consider casting Help, Pix! on ranged attackers for the Pix boost and Wild Growth on Tanks or Fighters for the added initiation power.

Advice to Understand How Irelia Will Play

Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.

Overall, Lulu sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Irelia. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

When Lulu tries to synergize with Irelia, she gets a little drop in her complete damage dealt. This may signal that Irelia does not provide protection for her to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Irelia.

Is Lulu better when played alongside Irelia?

There is no top champion pairing for Lulu that will no matter what be her ideal teammate. Yet, Irelia is a very typical ally for Lulu. By locking into the same side as Lulu, she raises their win rate by 0.8% to 47.7%. This proves that there is not really a strong bond between Lulu and Irelia that results in them performing better together than without each other.

Irelia has a lower difficulty than Lulu. That means Lulu players don't need to be very careful when lining up Irelia teammates to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working alongside, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Together, these champions can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Conversely, by grouping Lulu and Irelia together, you probably will not be providing your team very much tankyness. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in their potential.

Regardless of your Irelia ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
