Guide to Synergizing Riven and Lulu

Tips for Playing as Riven with Lulu

Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.

Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well.

Advice to Understand How Lulu Will Play

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.

Is Riven better when played alongside Lulu?

There is no top companion for Riven that will no matter what be her best ally. However, Lulu is a not very good companion for Riven. By being on the same side as Riven, she lowers their win rate by -3.0% to 47.1%. This proves that there is a harmful bond between Riven and Lulu that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Lulu has a much lower diffuclty than Riven. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Lulu comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to do well with you.

Working on the same side, Riven players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by bringing Riven and Lulu together, you will not be providing your side much magical damage output. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Lulu teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
