Flex	+9 Adaptive Force
Offense	+9 Adaptive Force
Defense	+6 Armor

Best Lulu Spells

When it comes to summoner spells, an Ignite is much more valuable than heal. This is because Lulu already has impressive heals and shields from her spells and items, and the ignite can provide grievous wounds and increased damage early on the laning phase.

Ignite can also be used aggressively as it has a lower cooldown than other summoner spells. It can also be used to harass enemies in addition to your already impressive magic damage pokes.

Help Pix also enchants your ADCs damage as well when the pix faerie companion of Lulu throws in some attacks as your ADC attacks. W comes next as it is a great utility ability as it increases your ADCs movement speed and slows the enemy’s.

Finally on Lulu’s skill order is her Q, this can deal tons of damage even if it’s left on level 1. You can extend Lulu’s Q by putting her pix faerie companion to a minion or another champion before casting it. When done correctly, Lulu’s magical bolts will fire from pix wherever he may be attached to.

Shard of True Ice	Ionian Boots of Lucidity	Shurelya’s Battlesong
