Lulu vs Xerath

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (E) shield and (W) polymorph to protect ADC from Xerath's poke and engage attempts.
Deny Xerath's poke by controlling brush and forcing him to reposition before casting (Q).
Prioritize river vision to track (R) roam threat and enable safe ADC follow-up.

Trading pattern

Hold (W) polymorph to counter (E) stun engage and protect ADC during trades.
Use (E) shield proactively on ADC to absorb poke and enable short trades with ADC follow-up.
Avoid wasting (W) before enemy engage; save it to punish Xerath's committed stun or ADC dive attempts.

Danger windows

(E) stun creates a high threat window; hold (W) to deny his engage angle.
(R) ultimate enables long-range follow-up and poke; maintain river vision to avoid surprise engages.
ADC is vulnerable when outside (E) shield range or when (W) polymorph is on cooldown.

Early game

Win level 2 by shielding ADC and holding (W) to disrupt (E) stun engage.
Use brush control to block (Q) poke angles and keep ADC safe near minions.
Coordinate wave crash timing with ADC to create roam windows while maintaining ADC protection.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E) shield and (W) polymorph for stronger ADC protection and engage denial.
Level 6 (R) offers powerful counter-engage to turn Xerath's all-ins or ADC dives around.
Track Xerath's first completed mana/AP item to anticipate increased poke damage and adjust shielding accordingly.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into ADC access by shielding trades and denying Xerath's poke angles.
Use (W) polymorph and (R) ultimate to disrupt Xerath's engage and protect scaling ADC.
Set deep river vision post-wave crash to secure dragon and safely roam or reset with ADC.
