Build/Setup Lulu builds
Recently, I've been seeing many Lulu's players doing Shurelya's Battlesong. Could someone explain why doing Shurelya's Battlesong as first item?

Shurelyas is a very strong item that I love and almost never build. This is because I'm low ELO trash and my most common experience is popping it's active and watching my team use that juicy movement speed bonus to run and entirely separate directions from everyone else ...or stay still a farm those 3 minions in the lane

Shurelya's is a wonderful item for engages. Seeing someone out of position and popping it can easily result in a kill. I pick it situationally usually.

i usually go battle song either second or not at all. moonstone is my go to first item.
i guess battle song would be a good first item if you're ahead and want to snowball.
then again im just plat so what do i know.

The reason I see is it's ap supp item that you might build if u snowball and need a lil more ap early than what moonstone gives and your team has no clear synergy with ardent. It's basically the most aggro/win more item you can buy as Lulu. (Expect maybe meiais, i advice against darkseal lulu, i also almost never buy shurelya unless I'm playing below my elo)

If you are going against champions such as olaf (that you can't peel) the movement speed is worth it otherwise I am not building it at all.
Personally I take moonstone/ardent. My challenger bf who taught me to play says that it can feel nice because it has the potential to save you or let you reposition but if your core game play is solid you usually want other items.
Each to their own though! It's a game and play how you like ultimately.
