Tahm Kench vs Lulu

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) stacks and (R) to create pick threats and protect your ADC from Lulu's engage.
Deny Lulu brush control to limit her (W) polymorph angles and reduce enemy ADC follow-up.
Prioritize river vision and wave state to enable safe engages or peel for your ADC.

Trading pattern

Build passive stacks before engaging to maximize (Q) stun threat and force (W) early.
Hold (R) to (R) your ADC or isolate Lulu when she commits polymorph or (R) engage.
Use (E) shield timing to absorb poke and bait Lulu's shield cooldown, then punish with ADC follow-up.

Danger windows

(W) polymorph denies your engage and peel; avoid committing when it's available.
(R) counter-engage can turn fights; respect its cooldown before diving.
Enemy ADC trades shielded by (E) and (Q) poke create windows where your ADC is vulnerable.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by coordinating (Q) stacks with your ADC's damage to pressure Lulu's shield.
Control bot-side brush to block Lulu's engage and secure safer ADC access to the wave.
Crash the wave after pushing to open roam windows before Lulu can safely follow.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q) stun threat; use it to contest Lulu's shield and polymorph trade.
Level 6 (R) enables pick or save plays; engage only with confirmed ADC follow-up.
First tank item increases your durability, allowing more aggressive short trades and brush control.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) stacks into safe engages that your ADC can follow up.
Deny enemy ADC positioning by peeling with (R) and (E) shield during enemy all-ins.
Set river vision and coordinate wave crashes to enable roams or dragon setups before Lulu's ultimate is ready.
