Their sustain answers chip slower than the burn deals it — rotation the pair and stun the refund.

Do

  • W the pair's formation per wave
  • E-Q the sustain step-ups

How to beat Lulu as Brand: the early game

You dominate the level 1-2 poke war: your W-on-E combo and Blaze burn out-damage Lulu's Glitterlance, and she can only shield reactively with Help Pix. Push your damage lead to zone her and set up your ADC. Your burst beats her chip, so keep Blaze applied and take every exchange she offers. Her polymorph is the only thing that interrupts you, so bait it with a step-up you can leave. Watch the mana bar, and hold the stun for the moment she is already burning rather than opening with it.
