How to win lane as Nami against Lulu · 50.93% win rate over 11,576 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Nami's E-buffed autos out-harass Lulu's early poke. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At 2 your Aqua Prison all-in threatens more than her single Polymorph can stop. |
| Level 3 | Nami | At 3 you keep out-trading a protect-only enchanter. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nami | Levels 4-5 your Q lockdown and E buff still beat her shielding. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's even - your R engage races her Wild Growth peel. |
| First item | Nami | At first item your all-in out-damages her shields for kills. |
| Two+ items | Nami | With 2+ items Nami's offensive R lockdown edges Lulu's protect kit. |
You hold the early edge: Nami's level-2 Aqua Prison all-in plus an E-empowered ADC auto forces damage that Lulu, a protect-only enchanter, can only partly answer with a single Polymorph. Trade with E-buffed autos, dodge her Glitterlance (Q) slow, and step up on her when her Whimsy is down.
