How to Beat Nautilus as Lulu (Support)

While statistically Lulu is slightly stronger than Nautilus as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Lulu deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Nautilus has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Lulu is superior vision control (ranked 7th among supports) (versus 38th for Nautilus), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 3.2) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Lulu Support versus Nautilus Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Lulu player to maintain constant pressure on Nautilus, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Lulu tips:

  • Glitterlance can be fired at odd angles depending on where your cursor is - Moving your cursor closer to Pix and Lulu will change your area of effect size considerably.
  • Consider casting Help, Pix! on ranged attackers for the Pix boost and Wild Growth on Tanks or Fighters for the added initiation power.

Playing Against Nautilus

  • If Nautilus uses Riptide right next to you, hold in place until the ripple effect finishes before running. Running early will run straight into the secondary explosions, causing you to take additional damage and slow.
  • While Nautilus is shielded, he is capable of dealing large amounts of area of effect damage with his basic attacks - consider taking down the shield if you have time.
