Lux vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who must control lane by poking with E and threatening picks with Q.
Use lane pressure to deny Taliyah's wave control and prevent her from setting up W+E punishes.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and punish Taliyah's forward movement or W usage with Q root into burst.
Avoid extended trades when Taliyah's W and E are available, as she can displace or slow you.
Capitalize on missed W or E cooldowns to land Q and follow up with E and R for high damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Taliyah's W and E are up, as she can displace and slow you for all-ins.
Missing Q leaves you vulnerable to Taliyah's poke and potential all-ins; maintain range control.
If Taliyah pushes and roams, hard push the wave to punish her absence and take plates.

Early game

Use E to poke and push the wave early, forcing Taliyah to farm under turret and limiting her roam potential.
Respect Taliyah's W displacement and E slow by maintaining max range and avoiding predictable movement.
Avoid reckless Q usage early to prevent being punished by Taliyah's W+E combo.

Power spikes

Level 6 R is Lux's major spike for burst and wave clear; use it to punish Taliyah's positioning.
First completed mage item boosts Lux's poke and kill pressure.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 R for map pressure and avoid overextending without vision.

Win conditions

Win by landing Q roots on Taliyah's overextensions and following up with E and R burst.
Deny Taliyah's wave control to limit her roam and map impact.
Use superior range and poke to control lane tempo and force Taliyah into defensive play.

Tip: For Lux vs Taliyah, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
