How to beat Lulu as Yuumi: the early game

Levels 1-3 belong to Lulu: her E-Pix ranged poke and Q slow out-harass your attach-Q, and Polymorph threat means you can't safely step up without risking a disarm on your all-in. Her poke plus the familiar out-chips yours, so keep the heal-speed up and stay attached. Aim the missile in the gaps rather than continuously, let your carry farm behind the wave, and let the sustained healing rather than a poke exchange be what carries the lane.
