## Equipment

### Sustain 

To deal damge for Mage and Mm and to sustain in fight also for cooldown reduction for his Ultimate

## Emblems

### Hybrid

To give sustain and Damage

## Battle spell

Flicker is best for Lapu-Lapu because it can be used to innishiate fight and it can be used to combo ult and first skill

## Playstyle

### Before lv4 keep playing safe and try to secure the exp crab and after lv4 emediately rotate to turtle and mark their Hyper and Mage

When they hold the minion use first skill to last hit 
You can use Ult + Flicker to mark their mage or Mm in team fight 
Always be their for team fight

## Best paired with

### Pharsa (100% co-op win rate)

Perfect for zoning and long-range burst. While Lapu-Lapu dives in, Pharsa can punish grouped enemies with her ult.

## Watch out for

### Esmeralda (100% counter win rate)

🔁 Counter Relationship:
Esmeralda COUNTERS Lapu-Lapu
Lapu-Lapu does not effectively counter Esmeralda in return.

Even if Lapu-Lapu lands his combos, Esmeralda can outlast him in prolonged fights, especially in the EXP lane.
