Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Control mid-range trades by landing poison and forcing extended fights to out-DPS Lux.
Manage spacing to avoid Lux's long-range poke and root threat while denying her free scaling.
Use (W) to block Lux's mobility and force her into unfavorable extended trades.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) or (W) to poison or ground Lux, then follow with repeated (E).
Punish Lux when her (Q) is on cooldown or missed by committing to extended trades.
Hold (W) to block Lux's escape or engage paths and use (R) to punish her when facing you during all-ins.

Danger windows

Avoid standing still or predictable movement when (Q) root is available to prevent lockdown.
Never engage without (W) ready, as Lux can escape or counterattack if grounded effect is down.
Be cautious when (R) is down, as Lux can safely poke and force unfavorable trades more easily.

Early game

Use (Q) early to apply poison and set up sustained (E) damage before Lux can safely poke.
Respect (Q) root range and avoid overextending without (W) ready to ground her engage.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Lux from freely poking or setting up binds.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) increases kill threat by punishing Lux's facing direction during all-ins.
First mana/AP item boosts sustained trading power and mana for extended (E) casts.
Respect Lux's level 6 (R) and first mage item spikes by playing cautiously and avoiding risky trades.

Win conditions

Land poison to enable sustained (E) damage and force Lux into extended fights she cannot win.
Use (W) to deny Lux's mobility and trap her in your zone for repeated damage.
Capitalize on missed (Q) to all-in with (R) and extended (E) trades, securing kills or forcing her out of lane.
