How to Beat Lulu as Nami (Support)

While statistically Nami is slightly stronger than Lulu 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 Nami deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Lulu deals primarily magic damage (82.10%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Lulu, ranking 26th (versus 32nd for Nami) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (3.3 versus 3.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Nami Support versus Lulu Support matchup

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

Nami tips:

  • Aqua Prison has a long cooldown, make sure to use it at the right moment.
  • Using Ebb and Flow during an engagement with enemy champions will help sway the battle in your favor.
  • Nami's ultimate can come in very handy for initiating on enemies who are far away.

Playing Against Lulu

  • The shots from Lulu's faerie can be intercepted - hide behind your minions to avoid the additional Faerie attacks.
  • Lulu excels when opponents heavily commit. Don't give her this chance! Use heavy harass tactics instead to force Lulu and her partner out of lane.
