Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vel'Koz.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | Vel'Koz's level-1 Plasma Fission and Void Rift massively out-range your Glitterlance poke. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | At 2 his Q split plus W ticks chunk you far harder than you can trade back. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | Level 3 his full Q/W/E poke rotation dominates the lane at range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Through 4-5 he keeps poking safely while you can only heal and shield. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | His level-6 Life Form Disintegration Ray threatens a kill on any feathered target. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | First item makes his poke lethal while you stay purely reactive. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | With 2+ items you finally have the range-closing CC and peel to invert the poke war. |
Vel'Koz outranges everything you have at level 1-2; his Plasma Fission and Void Rift poke for far more than your Glitterlance can answer, so stay behind minions, save Help Pix (E) to block his Q, and top your ADC instead of trading. His poke reaches further than anything you own, so play back and let your carry take the safe farm. Soak the chip with a shield rather than answering it. Hold the polymorph for the moment his knock-up lands, and push the wave while he is paying mana for the rotation.
