Build this after starting magic book for increased cooldown reduction.

Lulu Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
Pretty good matchup against Baron Lane Kennen. Lulu can harass early game farming with
Glitterlance
. At level 3 Kennen will try to engage with
Lightning Rush
>
Electrical Surge
/
Thundering Shuriken
, Lulu can just
Help, Pix!
away safely. Her ultimate
Wild Growth
also works well to counter Kennen
Slicing Maelstrom
by making him stay with knockups.

Build Examples
Normally you will see the #1 build completed at around 8-10 minutes, could be faster if you are succesfully poking and killing.
This is what the complete build looks like.


IMPORTANT SECTION
THIS IS IMPORTANT SECTION!
#1. When and why should you pick Solo Laner Lulu? You should build AP Lulu if and only if your team have a decent Tank/Semi-tank, could be jungler or support. Why does this matter, well first and foremost Lulu needs space to keep her effective attack range, and can only be done so if there is a tank in your team to distract enemies.
#2. AP Lulu is a good counter against the current first pick Kennen meta, at least in Emerald-Diamond. In early game AP Lulu can dominate laning phase against Kennen, and in mid game Lulu can transform into solid damage dealer with distraction potential to Kennen's ultimate. Will get into that later.
#3. DO NOT blind-picking Lulu with this build as intention. Notices how I do not mention any assassin laner in my Matchups guide? Its because this Lulu build is terrible against assassins. With the normal support build Lulu gets alot of bonus HP and also upgrade her utility abilities first
Whimsy
Help, Pix!
, that way she can survive assassinations. If the enemies already pick mid laner assassin, with a jungler assassins, and a top laner assassins, well don't pick AP Lulu or be ready to get *****.
#4. AP Lulu also works well agains priority mid-pick like Aurelion Sol and Orianna, since she offers more utility on roaming instead of pure damage.

Step-step and Leveling
Early Game
Because Machine Gun Lulu is a counter pick, always use her poke advantages in early skirmish. Lulu clear lane very fast and you can use that to help your jungler on scutler or even gank. Your main job in early game is to poke and poke and keep poking. Denied enemy last hit as much as possible, try to harass and always look to help your allies with your utility abilities. This works best especially against Baron Lane Kennen since her poke could result in outleveling. And even when Kennen has ulti available, Lulu can still poke and survive with her own ult
Mid Game
In this phase, since there will be more teamfight in Neutral Objective, Lulu's job is looking to shove her minion wave to denied Kennen's ult entry. If the team fight still happens with full team, always look at your closest ally to Kennen since he naturally will try to engage with
Lightning Rush
>
Slicing Maelstrom
, when that happen immediately use
Help, Pix!
to polymorph him, or
Wild Growth
if Kennen starts with
Slicing Maelstrom
>[kennen:3] to make him stay and keep him from engaging your ally.
Late Game
Still the same as in Mid Game team fight, but this time your
Glitterlance
damage is already huge enough to burst anyone that get close.
