Read from Vel'Koz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lulu.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | Level 1 you out-range and out-trade Lulu, whose only offense is a weak Glitterlance slow. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | Level 2 your knock-up and shred spike bullies her ADC before her shields scale. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | Level 3 sustained Deconstruction poke beats her thin early mitigation. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Through 4-5 you keep the poke lead since she can only shield, not trade back. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | At 6 your R still out-tempos her when you catch a target with her Wild Growth down. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | First item your poke out-paces her Pix shields so you stay favoured. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | By 2+ items Lulu wins: Wild Growth and Polymorph negate your all-in and out-peel you. |
Level 1-2 you dominate: Lulu's Glitterlance is a weak slow and her offense is minimal, so land Q knock-ups and W shred to bully her ADC while her shielding output is still low. Her poke plus the familiar chips steadily but never threatens, so cycle the rotation and out-range her outright. Split the opener so both halves land, hold the knock-up for her step-up, and watch the mana bar rather than trying to win a poke war on volume alone.
