Lapu-Lapu works well with heroes who can pull enemies together, like Tigreal and Atlas, to allow his AOE skills to hit more targets and get more Damage Reduction from his 2nd Skill in Great Sword stance by hitting more heroes.
Lapu-Lapu is countered by agile Marksmen who can knock him away, such as Lesley and Moskov. They can speed up or blink to avoid Lapu-Lapu's Ultimate, and use knockback effects to interrupt his 1st Skill in Great Sword stance or to keep him away.

Lapu-Lapu accumulates 10 Bravery Blessing each time he deals damage (halved for damage dealt to non-hero units). When Bravery Blessing is full, Lapu-Lapu's next Basic Attack will make him dash toward the target, dealing (+150% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage (cannot Crit) and granting him a shield that absorbs 250 (+65*Hero Level) damage for 2.5s.
Lapu-Lapu releases two boomerangs in the target direction, each boomerang dealing 140 (+50% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit on its way out and back. Enemies hit by both boomerangs take 50% damage from the second hit.
Lapu-Lapu dashes in the target direction, dealing 100 (+50% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies along the way.
Lapu-Lapu leaps to the target location while combining his twin blades into one, dealing 300 (+80% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies upon landing and slowing them by 60% for 1s. (This skill cannot be interrupted.) Lapu-Lapu gains 3 times the Bravery Blessing from this skill and skills in transformed state. For the next 10s, Lapu-Lapu enters Great Sword stance and gains enhanced skills, 30 extra Physical & Magic Defense, and his Basic Attack damage is increased to 120%.

Lapu-Lapu channels for 0.7s, slowing enemies in the target direction by 60%. He then slams his heavy sword to the ground, dealing 250 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit and stunning them for 1s. (This skill can only be interrupted by Suppression.)
Lapu-Lapu whirls his heavy sword, dealing 250 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies. When hitting an enemy hero, Lapu-Lapu gains 20% Damage Reduction, plus an additional 8% for each extra enemy hero hit, lasting 3s.
Lapu-Lapu swings his heavy sword 3 times. The first two attacks deal 345 (+160% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage each, while the third deals 440 (+210% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in a large area. Lapu-Lapu gains Control Immunity during this process and can change his attack direction and move a short distance on each attack.

In teamfights, use Lapu-Lapu's 1st Skill to wear down the enemies' HP, then follow up with his 2nd Skill to get close and use his Ultimate to initiate. While in Great Sword stance, use his Ultimate again for high burst damage, then use his 2nd Skill to gain Damage Reduction, and finally CC the enemy with his 1st Skill.

In the laning phase, use Lapu-Lapu's 1st Skill to poke enemies. When Bravery Blessing is full, use his 2nd Skill and enhanced Basic Attacks.

Battle Spell. Flicker is very effective for Lapu-Lapu because it helps him overcome his short range. It allows him to quickly close the distance to enemy back-line heroes or escape after engaging. Flicker can be combined with his ultimate or dash skill to surprise enemies, reposition in team fights, and increase his chances of securing kills while staying safe.

The Demon Hunter is necessary for early sustain. Magic boots for extra CD reduction If your score is 1-10-10, just throw away the Sky Piercer and replace it by BOD Use War Axe because this is probably the actual weapon used in the battle of Mactan Brute Force Breastplate to equalize the fight against Magellan who is well equipped. But really it is for extra CD reduction and extra MS for chasing enemies. Rose Gold for sustain and when jumping in the crowd fight.
